Excellent score!! That’s a nice set.

Does anyone have real world experience with both the older (blue/yellow) packaged Carlyle vs. the new (green/black Carlyle)? Are the newer tools of above average quality, or did Carlyle race to the bottom? Does the revamped line seem to sell better, or does NAPA still **** at marketing? From...

If you want the most comprehensive mechanics tool set on the market, the Master Mechanic 268 piece set from True Value. The set also comes with long pattern wrenches with anti-slip teeth on the open end. It's made by Apex, so exactly the same tools you'll currently find under Husky and Duralast...

I hate to dredge up an old thread, but there are a few Evercraft items I wish I had purchased before they discontinued the brand. Was everything liquidated through NAPA stores, or is there a possibility one of the well-know eBay sellers such as Cripe's Distributing for example bought a warehouse...

MAC Tools Wednesday. Some goodies off the truck for a couple of upcoming winter F-Body projects.

Thanks for the suggestions. He loves toys more so than our other cats. I see those catnip bananas being a hit. My wife added two to her cart.

Such a cool trip, thank you for sharing!

Not a tool, but I just got "Pat the Cat". My wife had a PetSmart coupon for cat litter, and unbeknownst to either of us, we were pulling up to an animal adoption event. There were around 20 dogs and just one cat with a tag on the crate that said "Pat the Cat, $50". We inquired about his story...

My Stanley FatMax 35’ tape measure. I have OCD and demand perfection from my home and work projects. This tape measure has been dropped, kicked, ran over, dropped in a bucket of hydraulic oil… and it’s still the best tape measure I’ve ever purchased. If and when it eventually breaks, I’ll buy...

If you like 3 drawer sets in blow mold cases, I believe this is the most comprehensive set on the market today. The 268 piece Master Mechanic tool set from True Value. The tools are Apex sourced, same as current Husky and Duralast.

I love tools from auto parts stores and Tractor Supply. My wife and I stopped by TS this afternoon and their holiday tool displays were recently put out. I thought this was an excellent deal for $29.99. The tools themselves are not stamped “Jobsmart”, rather just “Chrome Vanadium”. They come in...

Craftsman tools are what a lot of people grew up using, myself included. I have fond memories of going to the mall with Dad in the 1980's and early 90's, and him talking to the old timers in the tool department. When I became a teenager in the early 2000's, I couldn't wait until pay day so I...

Nostalgia. There's a popular seller on eBay who's been unloading a massive collection of new-old-stock Craftsman USA tools, and so far he's been incredibly successful in doing so. Some of his prices are in Snap On territory, and people are paying them. That has also driven up the prices...

Thanks for the info!

After browsing the Canadian Tire website admiring their Mastercraft and Maximum tool offerings, I can’t help to be jealous of our friends to the north. Their tool sets appear to be comprehensive and well thought out compared to the ******** sets offered in the states. Damn near every brick and...

Can anyone tell me if Canadian tire ships to the states? I wasn’t able to find the answer anywhere online and don’t want to create an account just to find out.

I missed that, thanks for sharing!

Happy Saturday Gentlemen! This question doesn’t appear to have been asked in GarageJournal since 2015 according to my research, so I’m interested to know if anyone here owns/uses Matco Silver Eagle tools, specifically purchased post-Covid? I noticed that their 122 Piece set is made in Vietnam...

I was glad to see the Irwin's come out near the very top. Mine are of course newer and made in China, but they're very well made and do what I ask them to do.
