    New Craftmsman Fig 8 wrench

    I agree looks gimmicky like the dog bone. I was going to say if its cheap enough it might be good for a small travel bag in the vehicle but on second look I think it appears to be too bulky to be useful for that.

    Why is everything made in China?

    "sometimes you don't have a choice..... I have an arsenal of apple stuff, all made in China... not happy about it, but like you said, what's my alternative?" I disagree, in my opinion you had a choice and you made it, simple. You had the choice not to buy an "arsenal of apple stuff" and your...

    Why is everything made in China?

    Well said, and very honest. To me that satement is at least one of the biggest reasons why "everything" is made in China = the consumer. Because in reality everything isn't made in China, and Walmart isn't the only place you can shop, although in my opinion they ruthlessly tried like hell to...

    Why is everything made in China?

    "A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the...

    screw...driver

    Yeah I was looking for something else on the sears site and saw those and thought $110 that's nuts, so I checked amazon just out of curiosity. By the way +1 for Wihatools.com that's where I got mine from, but I got the smaller set in the zippered case and they threw in the 2 piece set of the...

    HOT DEAL Index!!

    snap-on tool box w/stainless steel work top and roll cart - $3000 (cleveland) I know nothing more about this deal other than what is posted in the ad I just came across, but from the GJ threads I have read about the snap-on box prices this seems like its a good deal. I don't have $3000 to spend...

    So HF emailed me...

    lwlobo +1, I agree 100% reguardless if your a HF lover or hater, reading the GJ threads I don't think anyone can deny that HF is now a major player at least at the consumer/DIY level.

    So HF emailed me...

    Stuey, my take on it would be if they send you new tools from their R n D for your feedback, that those tools would be of a higher quality then the mass production versions that would end up on the shelf. And, if they send you current production then I would assume they would be at least...

    I love my Wiha's, but i'm not sure I would get them from sears as they seem really overpriced for this set http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM6291803002P?blockNo=6&blockType=G6&prdNo=6&i_cntr=1327167530876 $110 at sears but only $56 on amazon for the same set with free shipping...

    motorcycle techs

    This may help as well, in the GJ thread I posted they mention that you "should" be able to tell if it's a philips or a JIS screw by the JIS screw having a dimple (like from a center punch) in one of the quadrants of the screw head (that reminded me of the grade hashes on bolt heads) , but...

    Yard sale haul..

    That looks like an old metal kitchen cabinet that someone drybrushed and repurposed, I bet that will clean up and look sweet when your done with it. And hey, really, what's with the 10' workbench with a big azz blue vice on every corner? don't you realize some of us members are vice challenged...
