It doesn't end the packaging clearly said it's a lifetime commitment. Buy the ticket take the ride and if it occasionally gets too heavy chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion... tune in freak out get beaten.

Never seen those but think I'm going to buy a pair. For under $30 they look great! Had a set of custom molds made at an audiologist decades ago... musician & audio / concert production by trade. They were hundreds at the time & I think lost to the bowels of the NYC subway after a trade show. I...

Ok I want to thank everyone once again for all the thoughts & shared experiences For anyone who cares I ended up with the 6 gallon kobalt for $99. Got it on Friday & used it Saturday... I'm content. And yes it's loud! But not quite as drilling as the HF 3 gallon putt putt. One thing I wish...

Don't own any GW or see much of it in stores around northern NJ/nyc however Apex sata & specifically husky..? Downhill. Few days ago I bought a husky 1/4 drive set on sale for $30. Fairly complete no skips shallow & deep SAE metric etc. Really only needed the deep sockets but why Not? Figured...

While the red pancake seemed a little more refined the other night... after the whole Texas USA tool plant mishap I'm not sure I can do that & feel real happy. Try to buy as much USA made as anyone else but I also realize they're what? Probably bolting a China or Vietnamese motor onto the tank...

I'm aware of that. High flow yes. But I'm also aware that it's not a die grinder... expectations and all that. But I got a half dozen bursts & 3 minutes of recovery from the 3 gallon putt putt. Anywho. After that last post I made a beer run & stopped at bLowes in route. As of today both the 6...

About 4 minutes & change to fill the HF 3 gallon from 0 to 110... with leaky fittings was about 7 minutes. Total agony. That it was running constantly wasn't much of a surprise. More surprising was that it couldn't maintain any sort of workable psi... 50 - 60 max I'd say. Couple of times I...

Ok time for thread update and round #2! Bought the 3 gallon dog from HF a few weeks ago during the parking lot sale for a whopping $55 and if you had asked after my first use I'd say jury's out. Some of the needless dicking around was because I did a **** job assembling the hose &...

Top drawer of my box isn't filled with sockets... seems like a common move in the big picture threads. Top drawers here are more common stuff... screwdrivers pliers knives tape measures Sockets in the main box are 2-3 drawers down and I do have metric & inch mixed together but separated by...

Yeah as is what are you going to get? Another $25 is it worth the effort? If anything I'd maybe clean it up a bit, brush off and then clear coat. But I wouldn't try to hide the rust bubbles.

That is a good trick! Gonna adopt that one. I work in music production... studio & stage and see 1/4 and 5/16 all the time. Super common and most is wrench work. Often not enough clearance for nut drivers. And yeah both sizes in all sorts of home hardware too. Funny is maybe a year ago I put...

How's about this DeWalt kit at TSC? I've seen em on sale from time to time... usual around the holidays. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/dewalt-tire-change-kit-dwmt45012?cm_vc=-10005

Hard to say... in my bLowes last week there were a whole lotta yellow clearance stickers on the craftsman stuff. And I do mean a lot. Everything from big chests to screwdrivers... snips... utility knives hammers blow mold socket kits you name it. Not that the Kobalt section was fully...

I have that Milwaukee handle... there's a little bit of play / wiggle in the blade but in practice cutting things it's not an issue. Most depots seem to have em in stock. $20 ?

Probably neither and I say that as someone who owns a bunch of husky & kobalt... Do you have an autozone nearby? Go look at Duralast. Seriously. And maybe hazard freight too... My main no skips wrench set is husky I bought several years ago. Made in China... they're not bad but I didn't know...

I've been using slime green Ryobi nearly everyday in a music production envionment for 5 or 6 years and nothing has burned up or crumbled like a cookie. I've also done a couple kitchen & bath remodels... rebuilt a friends deck... general home maintenance... the drills have even survived a...

The $30 tire pump? I have one too & yeah that thing is crazy loud & has a sensitive switch. I always pull batteries from saws. Might leave em in drills especially around the house... flashlight & vacuum don't get pulled too often either. Air pump is another always. Actually I travel with...

I have a zero G for the deck & plant watering... 3 or 4 years now? Used near daily and it's holding up just fine. BLowes sells em. The only complaint, kinda is that it doesn't contract & get as small as you'd hope & think. It'll never get as small as the box ever again so I coil it up into a...

I've got a bunch of Ryobi and have never noticed any sorta drain... And if there is power **** it's not enough even long term... sitting for months that I've considered putting a meter on anything to measure. Or maybe I'm just using the stuff often enough that it's not an issue?

Kinda surprised to see WD40 mentioned so many times... general cleaner & lube Eh? I'll have to try that. Also kinda surprised that napatha hasn't been mentioned. I use that and 99% isopropyl alcohol on all kinds of things. Two other big ones around here (stage production & general home) are...
