    NEW Ridgid Cordless 18v 1/2'' Impact just out

    Thanks for sharing! I'll probably pick one up since I bought into the Rigid 18V system.

    Kobalt groove joint pliers 3 pc. $9.98

    Sorry if this a repost. I guess they're junk. I thought it was a good deal, the set is cheaper than one tool. The new style set was a few bucks cheaper than the old style set sitting beside it, there could be a reason for that... I'll keep mine, exchange 'em if they break. I honestly don't use...

    $11 7-pc Craftsman 12pt Ratcheting Wrench Set (SAE)

    This type of ratcheting wrench is the only kind I've seen break from normal use. I think this is an older ratchet design, the Kobalt wrenches used to look like this. Now they look like gearwrench style wrenches.

    Channellock 911 Cable Cutter

    I don't think any cable cutters will cut steel? I haven't seen any that will. :dunno:

    For those people who say don't buy cheap tools:

    All the tools I used were U.S. made. KD and Excelite mostly.

    Lowes Kobalt stubby metric wrench set for $11.98

    I did as well. The metrics have gone on sale a few times, never the SAE wrenches. I don't even need SAE stubbies but I feel incomplete without them.

    Rigid cordless tools lifetime warranty

    Yeah I'm part of the 80% that didn't register my Rigid tools and batteries. I figured it was probably a hassle of mailing receipts, cutting UPCs, and other stuff I don't have time or an interest in doing. The heaviest thing I do with the impact is tire rotations. No problems so far, but I don't...

    $13.48 here. If they drop to $10 I'll buy another. Or two.

    Kobalt 3/8 Flex head ratchet

    These things still aren't moving at my store, even for $12. Get them while you can, I don't think they'll take a hit on something like this again.

    Kobolt Torque Wrenches - 3/8" and 1/2" for $100

    I have a Kobalt 1/2" and a bunch of HF torque wrenches, to me the Kobalt is much nicer and locks more securely than the HF models.

    Home tool kits. Buy or build?

    I bought a Craftsman kit when I finally got around to buying my big boy toolbox. The rest filled out nicely with stuff I had accumulated in smaller boxes over the years. Before I was "into" tools I'd buy whatever I needed for a particular job. Thanks to the hot deals section I'm almost ready...

    Home use Cordless impact wrench

    I bought the Rigid 18V X4 kit on sale for around $150 around xmas time. It came with the impact driver, drill, two batts, case. It makes tire rotations go a lot faster. Mine won't take lug nuts off, but once you break them with a bar, it makes the job go much faster. What I really like is that...

    Union Pacific Job Comments

    Because railfan =/= good worker. In fact, it's usually the opposite. Railfans treat the job as a hobby rather than a real job and they usually burn out quickly. Working for a RR is a lifestyle.

    Well I have some bad news: It says right in the listing minimum of two years experience. BTW, the industry does not like railfans. Don't ever let them know you're a foamer.
