I feel you. Tool prices are out of control in the DFW area on the secondary market, everyone thinks their used China stuff is worth 120% of MSRP. Only place I go for business and literally never find any sort of tool deal anywhere except brand new on a store shelf. Sent from my iPhone using...

Those of you that have found these where does your store have them? I went to 3 stores today one said they had 10 the others 4 and 6. Zero could be found anywhere. Checked all the clearance end caps and the 2 different Klein sections up to the rafters. Terminal claimed they were originally in a...

I’ve got a bigger Jet and a little Delta already, but there seems to be a bunch of talk about these Craftsman block grinders here and other places so I’ve wanted to check one out for a long time. I gave $60 for this guy on OfferUp which is probably all the money? My Jet does all I need and the...

The one time I really had to put mine to use, the entire thing bent like it was made of putty. I was able to get it straight again by banging it on the concrete floor a few times so it’s made of an incredibly malleable China junk metal. Planning to warranty it out through Stanley for their...

This is what I don’t get about today’s “Discount” stores, and throwing swap meets and garage sales here in SoCal in that lot as well. Everyone wants full blown retail for everything regardless of condition or not being a current model etc. As the Hot Deals section demonstrates, the cheapest...

Deals I saw today. These were both insanely cheap likely because they used the wrong original price. The Stanley sockets were originally $20 not $10 and the bit sockets were at least $15 originally. Midlothian TX. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

They are good. I have had the Cman SAE set for over a year and the metric gearwrench set. 100% same manufacturer etc. I used them all the time, but glad I got the metric from gear wrench so there are no skips. The SAE from Cman has no skips but doesn’t have 7/8 which would be useful. Gearwrench...

At this point just finding something half decent to spend your points a challenge itself. The associated dollar amount is pretty meaningless at this point. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I got the same pair awhile back. My main complaint is the ridges/teeth on the jaw are super weak. First time trying to remove a hose clamp and a bunch flattened. Knipex keeps it pretty under-wraps on here and in general online, but no shortage of mechanics that refer to many Knipex products as...

My store had a couple sets last week, they were USA. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I have gotten on chat and never not gotten free shipping each time by demanding it. Pick a zip in the middle of nowhere if you must it may or may not help. But I’m just firm on demanding it and I get it as a “one time exception” every time. Orders ranging from $4.99 up through $20

Good! If your going to make something that is incredibly easy to stamp out for pennies in China and retail it for a high cost, expect people to copy and undercut that. Anyone can get a Chinese supplier to pump out rubber mats once they determine the material. They should have made it in USA. At...

G-05 Concentrate and premixed seems like a really good deal on sale price, Napa beats everyone's price after shipping. My Ford car specs this stuff. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ZRXZXG051?keywordInput=zerex

Your store may or may not still have these, have them check in the back/check the website, but having done a few spend/get $100 deals, I had $75 in points and couldn't pass up this Dewalt setup with 2 batteries for $17 OOP after $10 coupon and $1 filler...

Props for keeping that stuff still going without any manufacturer support. I’ve got a fleet of AMCs so I know exactly what you are going through. I like Ford over the other of the 3 but am loathe to give them any money on the new end due to lack of support on models past 6-8 years. My 1998 and...

X2 I got the 6pt reversible ratcheting wrenches metric, 12pt in SAE, XL spline wrenches in SAE and Metric, 36” ratchet, bent ratchet, 8pc screwdriver set, pistol pliers, blue tool caddy, I think other stuff too. Due to shipping issues it took several different Napa stores in different states...

It’s largely a preference between soft close drawers and the mechanical latching drawers. I prefer the latter, plenty prefer the former. And I have a big thing against the squeaky drawers on the harbor freight. All the samples in the store squeak and several here have had varying success getting...

It's a different design, but as someone with a bunch of Waterloo Griplatch, I'd say its better. Rather than use the spring metal to provide tension on the moving latch handles, these new pieces use actual coil springs. They are also good to 100 lbs/ drawer while the old ones I have max out at...

I saw this thing in person in store yesterday. It's NICE, like probably the most decent thing they still sell nice. The drawer latches, metal gauge etc are super beefy. Couldn't find a COO on it though so I'm pretty sure its China, chat confirmed this. That said I'd take it over the squeaky...

FYI not sure if it’s been discussed yet, but the point back deals right now appear to stack. I got $48 worth of shoes and a $59.99 tool then used just enough points to keep the order at $100 OOP exactly. This morning I had the $10 from $40 clothes purchase AND the $25 installment of the spend...
