The MAC site is a mess. What you have to do is get the "full line catalog" from the front page. http://www.mactools.com/ Then, find the item you want. Then, search for that item by the part number.

This guy on ebay has a NAPA set for $59.99. At last glance he had 4 left. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Napa-36pc-Master-Torx-Set-1-4-3-8-1-2-Drive-NBH636-/150673227382?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2314d2fe76

P.S. These socket sets are an absolute STEAL at this price. http://cripedistributing.com/index.php/napa-62-pc-3-8-socket-set-deep-shallow-nht90928.html http://cripedistributing.com/index.php/napa-56-pc-1-4-socket-set-deep-shallow-90927-ro.html

For me, personally, I wouldn't want the black chrome stuff because I would add tools down the road and they would not match. I like my tools to match. Darn OCD. Don't forget to ease on down to Lowe's and have a look. Those new Kobalt tools sure are shiny...

I really don't think there is much of a difference in the way a 12pt and a 6pt rounds a bolt. In my experience, if it is stuck and corroded, its more about how you work, rather than what you work with. The way I learned is this: Take a look at the bolt. Put your socket on it. Give it a firm...

I got it. Go ahead and buy one of these 26" boxes, top and bottom, from Extreme Tools. Then, report back and tell us how they are. That way, I can decide for sure if it is something I want! That sounds like a good plan to me!!!:bounce: http://www.extremetools.net/files/37651340.pdf...

I actually prefer a GOOD friction slide to ball bearings.

Haha. I have the opposite problem. When I come across a job needing a new tool, I will put off buying it, try to take some half-a%* shortcut around buying it, try to do the job with some cheap tool and cuss it before I finally break down and just buy the proper tool. :lol_hitti

Furniture can get incredibly expensive and complicated to build. It can also be really easy to get discouraged (ask me how I know). Real wood is $$$$$ - one wrong cut, one look at the diagram wrong and you could be out a lot of time and money (again, ask me how I know). Might encourage him to...

If you ever install an aftermarket supercharger, you often have to do a little grinding on things like alternator brackets to get everything to clear.

The saddest thing is that the rp china ratchets I looked at in the store actually looked better, functioned smoother and seemed more consistent than the US ones (i.e., they all felt the same. The US ones were always really hit and miss - some worked fine, others were complete junk). :(

Not brake cleaner. Sheesh. I would have that stuff all over the side of the box and it would eat the paint. :shocking: I usually grease mine with lithium grease.

If you are into bikes, you might want to check out Motion Pro - they have a huge selection of T-Handle drivers. http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/tools/category/t-handles/ I know of some guys with bikes who love those things.

Exactly what Diesel Research said. When I worked on hondas (it has been a few years - I haven't had one in over ten years) all I ever needed was 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, and 21mm. If I were starting out and looking to get some basic maintenance done, this is what I would want: Oil Changes...

Wow. C'mon - its a toolbox, not a 64 Impala he is trying to sell on Barrett Jackson. Why worry about a few dents and creases? It certainly doesn't look like ****. You ought to see my box - it is in much worse shape and it still does its job just fine. All that aside, I like it! Now it needs...

I posted this in another thread, but in case you didn't see it: http://www.lincolnelectric.com/en-us/education-center/training-materials/Pages/training-materials.aspx Check out the "e-learning course" and the Powerpoints. They are very, very thorough. Remember: If anything is wet - the...

I think you should learn to stick weld first...but I guess that is because that is how I learned. I've always thought that stick welding skills will make you a better mig welder. Anyways, wherever you choose to start, be sure to check out Lincoln's "Training Materials." If you want to be...

@HandyManny I used an adjustable several times yesterday while rebuilding the front suspension on my 2004 GMC Sierra - to hold the odd-shaped nut on top of the stabilizer bar link bolt, to hold the stems of the shock absorbers while turning the nuts with a regular wrench and to hold the tie...

@radgto http://manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/90000-90999/90320.pdf You call the number there at the bottom of the manual - (800) 444-3353 - and ask for drawer B and drawer D. You're looking at item number 90320. I'm thinking it was like 18 or 20 bucks for the big one and 14 or so for the...

I don't have either - but I have been seriously considering purchasing one. My observations: I hate the drawer layout on the 42" - too many shallow drawers. BUT - I called the customer service number and learned that you can order the deeper drawers for $18 and $14 (the big one and the small...
