    recommend a torque wreanch

    Finance one off the tool truck. Even when I was making 10$ an hour, I still had to find enough for a good tq wrench its one of the most important tools. If you want a good deal, home depot sells husky. Good quality and they the only tq wrench I have seen that carry a life time warranty. Not as...

    new range of dewalt

    slide-on > stem. Most manufactures still offer the battery's regardless they just stop offering the tools eventually. I dont see the problem.

    Horrible Kijiji Tool Box Experience!!

    That box will be paid for somehow. I don't understand why you are so upset. If the dealer isnt getting paid by the buyer a debt collector will get them to pay. Most of the time its through snap on credit and not the dealers line of credit. You as long as you have a bill of sale or something in...

    I dont get why some people list used SO for more than brand new

    By listing the item that high, and then allowing buyers to make an offer makes it easy for the seller to get closer to the retail price. People love to get a deal if they can make an offer for 15$ less than the asking price they think they are getting a good deal and the buyer makes his money...

    Keeping a work bench organized?

    ^ good idea. Though my work bench is in my shed and there is no room for a rollaround cart as well. I suppose if you have the room thats the way to go. My box is next to the bench. I just have to not be lazy and as soon as I am done with a tool put it away. It doesn't take long to take it back...

    Keeping a work bench organized?

    When you dont have proper tool/hardware storage its a pain to put away your tools when you are finished using them because they don't have a proper place. Get a big enough box for your tools and find a place for everything. And get hardware storage trays. Keep it close enough to your...

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    Don't know for sure, I don't own one. I am just speaking from a mechanical stand point on what will work. Sure you have to do some kind of modification.

    Do I need a dedicated welder circuit...

    Yea the circut is not your problem. If it was you would be tripping the breaker left and right. It is nice to have a dedicated circuit for high amp drawing tools, this way anyone in the house, kids, wife, girlfriend don't have to continuously switch the breaker back when they are using anything...

    Craftsman Intermediate Drawer

    Its made with the same technology. If you like your grip-latch that you have now I don't see why you wouldn't like the 40". The only thing different is its a wider drawer so it might feel slightly more flimsy.

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    Just change the location of the dampers. Move the lower connecting points further back.

    SK 1/4" ratchet 40975 - how do i get this to work right?

    I wouldn't get too upset about it. SK aren't overall high grade tools anyway. While they seem to be better then Cman, kobalt, husky...I still have had my fair share of issues with their stuff. For the most part its a solid line but they still don't hold a candle to truck brands. If you are...

    ASE Test

    Make sure you absolutely need them. I know guys in my shop that have all their ASE's and are still changing tires. I have taken none and I am a master tech in my shop( I am certified in many areas but no ASE's). Just because you are a good test taker doesn't make you a good mechanic. The human...

    My friend just got his first first place, he needs his first tools.

    My friend just got his first first place, he needs his first tools.

    I was just stating the tools I use the most. And the best value for a home owner. Not home renter. I guess you can get away with a cheaper multimeter but what good is a cheap one when it needs to last you the life of your home ownership. I use my fluke for testing, outlets, switches, battery's...

    My friend just got his first first place, he needs his first tools.

    Goes from budget and then says he may hire someone to do things. Guarantee you if he uses one of HF crappier tools he will toss that **** faster than you think. BTW: HF is below budget. Craftsman, Kobalt, husky...is budget. At least get that much for a first set. A good tool is worth its...
