    Amazon Deals on New Retail Items - Post them!

    Ancor is a vetted source! They make very nice marine grade equipment. I've been very impressed with all their stuff.

    Overhead Storage Racks at Northern Tool

    I've installed three of these 4’x8’ racks in my finished garage. I would agree that they are a bit of a pain to install on a finished ceiling. Finding the joists and getting the orientation to work out can be a challenge. It’s no fault of the shelves though. They are incredible! I’d do it again...

    Without asking you too personal of a question, how do you like the underwear? Big difference compared to cotton?

    Amazon *not* deals

    The shipping is also crazy fast for me. I receive everything I order within two days max, always packaged nicely. They really do shipping and handling right.

    SK Steals and Deals

    According to the header, it looks like that's the full price and the 50% off discount will be viewed in the cart. That would make that extension $25, down from $50. My question is, will I get a $25 NOS USA extension or a $25 Taiwanese extension?

    Eagle Grip C-Clamps <$25 at Acme

    I was thinking the same thing. I just picked up 6 of the 11" with pads. I'm using them for welding.

    Am I crazy to buy a new 5" Wilton C2 for $1300?

    Fair enough. Each of the Grand Cherokees I drive are worth less than this vise, but hey, they both get me anywhere I need to go and they don't have a monthly payment! I've had one for eight years and one for ten. I love them both.

    Am I crazy to buy a new 5" Wilton C2 for $1300?

    Fair point. If there's a history of good AMERICAN made Wiltons, I suppose they would just buy the same model. I recently took a stroll through the St. Louis Boeing facility where the build F-18s. They had 4" Wilton machinist vises on their workbenches that looked ancient. I think those were...

    Am I crazy to buy a new 5" Wilton C2 for $1300?

    I wonder who is buying these US C2 and C3 vises, as I'm sure I'm the exception. I would imagine companies would prioritize their bottom line and get the Tradesman version. Maybe some contracts (i.e. government) require US-sourced parts, or maybe the US purchases can be used as tax write-offs...

    Am I crazy to buy a new 5" Wilton C2 for $1300?

    Fair enough! My wife is actually very supportive of the tools. I build and fix a lot for us and she can see the money we save with the tools we buy.

    Am I crazy to buy a new 5" Wilton C2 for $1300?

    The fact that I came to the Internet, and GJ of all places, looking for someone else to tell me if I should buy a vise should say something about how much I've struggled with this purchase decision. Thanks for weighing in, friends. I'm dual income with no kids (right now!) and the finances are...

    Am I crazy to buy a new 5" Wilton C2 for $1300?

    I've been looking for a good, used Wilton C2 for over five years now. I found one for $625 and bought it for my brother. Never saw another like it since. I finally have the chance through some discounts to bring the usual $1820 price tag down to $~1300.

    Performance Tool W53992 Universal Mobile Welding Cart with Storage Trays on Wheels for MIG Welders and Plasma Cutters, Black $42.03 @Woot

    Fair enough. If I found myself in Harbor Freight looking at the similar cart for $8 more and no shipping fee, I would just buy it there instead of ordering from Woot. Nice work on your cart!
