    Best option for decently priced quality sockets/reviews

    Thanks for your response! This is where I'm definitely going to sound like a noob: Is SK really that much better than a brand like Kobalt (I'm not particularly a huge Kobalt fan , just using them to stick with them as the example of a moderately priced, non-garbage but not professional brand)...

    Well a 20% coupon doesn't always net you the "best" deal they ever offer. The same item will sometimes be "on sale" for $180 sometimes, $170 sometimes or $160 sometimes. The "regular coupons" are not as good as the "Super Coupons" but the Super Coupons also vary (the red 30" rolling tool cart...

    Best option for decently priced quality sockets/reviews

    Okay guys - I'm new here but know to search and read before posting. I'm sure this has been discussed before but I can't find a good thread on it, so please don't yell at me. I am looking to start upgrading my main tool set. I have some Kobalts, some craftsman, some HF and some ****...

    No problem! I just started on here recently but LOVE this forum. This thread is a great asset bc it allows you to sift through the junk at HF and find their few hidden gems. It also has helped me in figuring out their coupon/discount scheme to exploit the lowest prices possible. I have a set...

    Harbor Freight 26" tool cabinet vs. HF 44" cabinet?

    I'm going through this debate right now and keep going back and forth between the 44 and 26. Honestly, I wish I could get the 44 bottom and only buy the top box of the 26 as I wish the top cabinet in 44 size came with more small drawers like the 26's top box. That would provide the best of...

    I have a set of the snap ring pliers. They aren't that great to be honest although they are useable. I'd save my money and buy a better set.

    Excellent news! I'll pick one up as my corded drop light is getting pretty beaten up. Wireless seems very nice.

    How's the light output on the LED worklight? I've heard that their parts washer requires use of a water based cleaner and not a solvent and that the solvent can burn up the pump btw. just a heads up!

    8000lb cable winch puller (Come Along) - PN 69855 - Very Marginal pass - The puller does work but I would NOT recommend this for someone planning on using it often. First the cable is very short, requiring the use of an additional strap/chain and multiple re-positioning and restarting of the...

    After reading about 100 pages of this thread I figured I'd make a contribution! 61840 2500lb ATV Winch - PASS I bought this with a super coupon for $49.99. I figured for that cheap, I was willing to take a chance - I have a small trailer I use to tow my BMW track car. It's a stripped down 3...

    I had the SAME exact experience. Bought the regular impact - it was absolute trash - couldn't even remove lugs off of my BMW track car torqued to 74lb/ft. Returned it and got the earthquake version. It has worked great for 2 years now.
