    2014 Garage sale thread!

    I was going from memory when I called it a gator tool. It has a logo that I think says JAR and says alligator wrench on it, plus pat pend with a date. It has one smooth jaw and the other is grooved on an angle. The opposite end has a flat head screw driver or prying tool. I just did some...

    Decent set of 3/8 and 1/2" sockets?

    I would recommend the 120xp gearwrench sets. You could pick up 3/8 and 1/2 sets for less than $300 combined. Good quility with sweet ratches. The sets have no skips in sizes untill the largest of 1/2 drive sizes. Warranty replacement for the sockets can most likely be found locally. The...

I would recommend tools simply for the resale value. I for one see husky tools nearly every time I go to garage sales and...

    The Baddest Tool on the Block!

    Rotation is reversed in the gearbox on the side of the blade. Note that the chain driven pulley does not line up with the center of the blade. The pulley is offset by about and inch or so hiding the gearbox.
