    HVLP Sprayers - school me?

    I have a Fuji Mini Mite 4 system that I bought when I remodeled my house and bought all new unfinished cabinets. It was great for painting cabinets. I used Zissner primer and Insl-X Cabinet Coat for the paint. The system paid for itself in that project, and I have no regrets from buying a...

    Tool Nut Just sent out an Email with the new USA Milwaukee Pliers and Screwdrivers Pricing

    as the years have passed with few made in USA options, i've moved on to VIM, Knipex, Vessel, etc. i care more about buying quality tools than tools with USA slapped on the side now.

    I got a 17/19mm Mountain wrench. It completes my set. I bought them one at a time over the past few months. This was the last one I needed, but waited a while because it was the most expensive one. I got a Zoro coupon, so finally got it. I ended up paying $211.09 for the set of 5 buying...

    20V Tool Platform for a DIYer

    I am a DIY'er and went Dewalt. They are sold in more stores and seem to me to have better sales and promotions. I have a good amount of batteries that I have got free during promotional sales, some at Lowes, some at Home Depot, some online. I also am a person that buys things when I don't...

    The Real Reason Craftsman Tools Are so Darned Popular

    Eddie Lampert may not be the sole reason for Sears going to ****, but he certainly didn't help anything. If you want to act like Eddie is being made a martyr by users here, most of us will gladly give you three nails and a well constructed cross (made from vintage Craftsman tools) to hang him...

    What's your Roadside Tire plug Kit

    I keep a compressor, a thing of Safety Seal lube and plugs, a reamer and plug tool, a spare compressor fuse, a knife (minichamp), and a pair of locking pliers (to pull nails/screws) in each vehicle I have.

    The Real Reason Craftsman Tools Are so Darned Popular

    Growing up in the 80s, my dad owned a construction equipment rental/dealership. I started working there when I was 12 and worked there until my early 20s. We sold and rented equipment ranging from chainsaws to mobile cranes. The majority of the tools we had were Craftsman. We had a cardboard...

    Looks like made in China S-K sockets made their debut on Amazon.

    Let's be real, nobody needed a crystal ball to see that SK was going to be selling mostly made in China tools.

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    I picked up a little Wilton clamp on vise from Amazon. Quality was pretty poor overall. The swivel did not work at all out of the box because the swivel channels were cut off-center There are carriage bolts used for the swivel, and the head was too wide to fit, due to the off-centered cuts...

    What tools did you get rid of today and why?

    I recently sold a Dewalt planer w/ stand, a jointer, and a Ridgid oscillating sander. My dad bought them to build his kitchen cabinets, then gave them to me because he wanted the garage space. After using them like two times in a few years, I sold them because I wanted the garage space.

    Tool "stores" to visit in Austin (for Canadians)

    I'm in Austin. I am not really aware of any good tool stores in the area to visit. We have Northern Tool stores north and south. We also have Harbor Freight with north and south locations, if you would be interested in browsing their selections. Restaurants here are plentiful and good. A...

    OTC vs Gearwrench hose clamp pliers

    I am a DIY'er and purchased the Gearwrench 3976D hose clamp pliers. I think they are difficult to use. I usually end up trying them and then switching to a regular pair of pliers. Maybe it's user error, but I just don't like them. Those Knipex looked nice, until I saw the price.
