    Harmonic balancer puller?

    So hand them cash? :headscrat I put everydamnthing on my card and wouldn't care if it took a while to come back, but our card processor at work takes up to a full week to process a refund. More than 1 customer has gotten all worked up that it took forever... and that's not us sitting on your...

    Torx plus - where does it show up?

    Found them on a Frontier dual-mass flywheel right around the most inconvenient time. :lol: Can confirm, same size Torx doesn't work worth a ****.

    Anyone use jet.com?

    Huh, so that's what I can look forward to. :lol: I'm on order #4 with them. All been stuff I was being picky on price and not timeline. Got 4 new wheels for my truck (15% + the volume discount for buying 4 was killer), a mattress pad, a bunch of shotgun toys, and the latest is a pair of OE...

    RV electrical connector

    I'm probably not a hell of a lot ahead of you on AC... if you made me guess, that's actually 2 hots and a neutral in this case, and 'ground' is made from the trailer panel to a ground rod outside. Just my half-educated guess from trying to brain how it'd work with 3 prongs, and knowing most of...

    RV electrical connector

    It's on a cable, right? Disassemble/cut the ****** off, and get something matching your generator's outlet from your local HD/Lowes/Grainger/electrical supply? edit: Just had me a thought there... 3kw generator, probably feeding 110v only, going to a 2-rail panel... means only half the breakers...

    I gave in

    Stupid to us, the consumers who want something for as little as possible. A bit less so to the liquidation company, who wants to sell everything for as much as possible... and who DGAF about any long-term consequences, because why would they? We'll jack the prices, people will ****** up...

    I need some advice on Air Compressors.

    Never been a Campbell Hausfeld fan, I usually think their stuff is consumer-grade ****. That said, I got one of these: https://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Campbell-Hausfeld-VT6358-Air-Compressor/p7723.html from Zoro a couple years ago. Fit the bill for me, I needed some semblance of...

    What's a fair price for the Snap on box?

    I picked mine up brand new (but on sale + me being a haggler) for $2700. But I'd see them used around the general Baltimore/DC area asking $2200-3200 all the time before I got mine. Needless to say I wouldn't buy used (unless the $2200 one was cherry, maybe) once I found that out... I have the...

    Armstrong rumor

    Huh... my store added Armstrong a couple years ago. We packed it all up and returned it last fall, because we couldn't replace what we sold (through Napa anyway) to save our lives. Damn shame, because it actually sold better than I expected. Don't think anyone sold a single piece at "suggested...

    Honorably Discharged Vets - Shop online at the Exhange

    There were 4 main things I bought from AAFES when I was in... booze, smokes, Dell PCs, and usually Nikon stuff. Booze for the lack of tax and blue law BS, the latter two for lack of tax, and the fact that their 15% coupons worked on them back then... they were closing that loophole around 2010...

    eBay Auction Sniper Software?

    I very rarely bid on auctions on ebay anymore... but as much as I really never much cared for them, I've actually used them way more the last few years than I had at least since the old days of actual auctions. When it comes to oddball stuff (that Amazon either doesn't have at all, or not on...

    HYPERLINKS made on my posts without my doing or permission. don't click on them!!

    Yeah, the only time I've ever seen them is when posting, and I only recall seeing them in my new post, that one time. I tried logging out, and didn't see any browsing General Tools, I thought they were enabled for guests? Or maybe I've done the opt-out thing, don't remember.

    HYPERLINKS made on my posts without my doing or permission. don't click on them!!

    Pretty sure the reason is in fact that Ryan has them turned off for members. I've also noticed them here immediately after posting, but only then, and it disappears on refresh. Viglink isn't that selective... go guest-browse a forum that uses it (or just log out of here), they put links...

    Anyone use Jet.com to purchase tools?

    I've ordered from them 3 times without issue. 1st was a set of aluminum wheels for my truck (my cheap steelies were rusting out), I bought a set of 4 Mickeys for $90 a pop after the discount for buying 4 (:lol:) and 15% off, everywhere else was >$100 each, even Keystone aftermarket through work...

    Cordless Angle Grinder such as DeWalt 20V Max, Milwaukee Fuel

    I had the original Makita LXT grinder and found it almost worthless. Not much power to begin with, only about 2 minutes of "good" use on a pack, then speed & power went to ****. I suspect that "just need to grind a little more..." helped kill several batteris dead. I opted for the Fuel when I...

    3/8 Best air hose?

    I also love me some Flexzilla. The Pro ones with reusable (compression fittings for hose) fittings are awesome, but usually harder to find/more expensive/never on sale... I put about 5 regular hoses in the shop when I worked there, then just bought a couple of the fittings and installed them as...

    Best USA pliers for brake caliper retraction

    I mean... call me crazy, but I'd be focused on buying the right tool for the job... and if HJE doesn't have it, spend my money there on some OTHER tool that would do some OTHER job correctly. I don't insist that Lenscrafters make me a sandwich for lunch because I have store credit. :dunno...

    Snap On Repo Traded Tools?

    Um... no. That works OK on your buyer since they signed a contract with you stating as much. By works OK, I mean you have a legal leg to stand on, at least if the guy cooperates... but it almost certainly means nothing as far as getting the actual property back if not, since there's no lien on...

    Air compressor slow fill up, and filter questions

    Mine leaked pretty good from unloader line (that plastic push-in running to the switch) and would lose air in a day or so. I replaced the check valve with a combo check valve/auto-unloader (I forget the brand name, found it on Amazon) and when I got a 2nd one that worked, it holds air... pretty...
