There was a bit of a sale on Channellock at Canadian tire. The crimper wasn't discounted much, but I wanted it anyways. The water pump pliers were on clearance and pretty cheap. I'm not sure I'm the biggest fan of this style, but what the hell.

I had the magnet come unglued on my metric set as well. I inquired about warranty, and they send me a whole new set, sockets and all. Of course, the magnet came off that one as well...

I had a look when I was in on Tuesday and they certainly look unrefined. I have a couple sets of the Maximum ones that are supposedly made by Wiha so I didn't bother buying them to try out. I'm sure they're a reasonable budget option but as with most things, the authentic Knipex is going to be...

I'm in

I usually don't have an issue. Most of my friends have most of what they need, so it's usually only specialty stuff. I don't have any friends that I don't trust, and if something were to get broken or lost, they've all been generous enough with me that I wouldn't make a big deal. Any young guy...

I keep the Lisle one in my pocket at work and use it all the time. I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm a huge fan. Mine are the heavier duty ones.

https://www.princessauto.com/en/3-8-in-dr-torque-wrench/product/PA0009434564 I was going to order one of the CDI torque wrenches, but they seem to have sold out. The smaller proto 3/8 drive is on for $42 so I picked one up instead.

I was perusing marketplace before an afternoon nap, and came accross this deal. It was listed for $200 Canadian. I messaged him, expecting it to be a scam. As I was driving to his house in the country, I was half expecting to mugged when I got out there or something. Turns out, I recognized him...

I picked up one of these. It's pretty nice. Mac sells the same set for like $100. Definitely a steal for $20.

That chart looks accurate. I don't think I've ever put threads on 2 1/2", but the other sizes sound about right.

That version comes up for sale for $80 canadian for a bare tool all the time. At that price, I'm happy enough with mine in limited use.

https://www.princessauto.com/en/12-pc-metric-combination-wrench-set/product/PA0009377862 the craftsman vseries metric wrench set has made an appearance. Not on clearance bu $60 doesn't seem bad. -edit- the proto rolling box is also down to $1100

That was a great idea, worked like a charm. I'm thinking of gluing it so it doesn't slide around, any recommendations? I have a few friends with 3D printers, might have to see if they're able to.

I recently bought a used Utrapro (Canadian napa house brand) toolbox. It's an older box, but is in pretty good shape aside from the top drawer won't stay closed. After some investigation, there is a pivoting latch at the back of the slide missing from this drawer (the middle piece in the...

I was eyeballing the Lang set, any idea what their warranty is like?

I live in a small town, so Napa and CT are kind of the only local options. I do have some time before I'm going to need it, so I can always do some shopping in Edmonton. I'm kind of hoping for a step up from mastercraft, but I'm not sure that I want to spend what the Gray ones are worth.

Anybody have experience with the Carlyle tool boxes? 24" deep seems nice, 18 guage instead of 22 guage like Canadian tire sells. I'm going to need to pick something up for work fairly soon and these ones caught my eye.

Count me in

Are these any good? I don't need them, but the price is nice...

Pipe wrenches have to be Ridgid. I'm sure there are other rands out there that are comparable that I'm unaware of, but I haven't found one yet that compares.
