    Show your new tool arrivals

    At the Do It Best Hardware store I work at we have a whole bargain bin full of tools with that packaging. When they arrive in a big box the box says tekton on the side. But I don't think any of the tools says tekton. So it probably is, but maybe a cheaper version.

    Gasoline Compressor

    I do not have 220 in the garage and don't plan on running it since I still live at home, and plan on moving out within the next year. But it seems I always need air where there is no electric, so I end up filling it up in the garage and heading to the barn to do stuff. Would just come in handy...
