    Craftsman Cap Wrench Bottle Opener $4.49 @ Sears

    I took a look at the stock at my local store, only found two USA CapWrenchs. One didn't have a hang card just a loose ziptie to hang it on the peg - so the clerk took an extra buck off - without me even asking! I like that I had a good experience at Sears, since all I've been reading lately is...

    HF Casters 4-pack

    :headscrat Did anyone notice that the socket shown in the manual is an S•K ? Most pics show the USA stamp, but the bottom right picture on page 2 clearly shows the S•K stamping. http://manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/87000-87999/87616.pdf :thumbup: -- nothing to do with anything, just...

    Klein Glow Pliers at Home Depot :)

    At the South Attleboro, MA store there was a display rack in the electrical aisle, right next to the normal rack of Klein tools, and it consisted of 9" high leverage Linesman, Klein Kurve strippers, and high leverage large side cutters all with glow grips. I grabbed the last pair of linesmans...

    Anyone on here WITHOUT a garage?

    I mentioned in my intro post, I have a midget basement and no garage/carport. I just work in the driveway and under a shady tree in my backyard. Garages have been on my house-hunting must have list since moving to one without!:thumbup:

    WW2 tool training vid

    Cool find. I recall a similar film to this when I was in shop class in Highschool. It's a shame too many schools have done away with shop/wood working/etc . . ..

    Does anyone else hate small (narrow) toolbox drawers as much as me??

    I never liked them either, so I ordered a new full length drawer.;) For any of the non-griplatch ball bearing Craftsman boxes that came with them, you can removed the slide supports on the top section, and borrow two slides for the new drawer. I would cut down and re-rivet the old supports, to...

    Terminal block screwdrivers

    I've never had the Klein cam out or slip, but again, hobbyist use in my case. :dunno:

    Terminal block screwdrivers

    pic from Amazon: This is not a "combo tip" like some Wera and Wiha have. It's a 1/8" slotted tip on a 7" shaft. I know kiatech's example pic was a combo . . . However, it fits all the standards based blocks I've run across, and it's excellent for adjusting trim pots buried deep - like in the...

    Terminal block screwdrivers

    I agree with Kracin. However, I own a Klein 612-4 screwdriver, and while it has a rubber grip, the shaft is uninsulated. They stock them a the local electrical hose and Home Depot. I only use it for hobbyist work, so there is never any voltage for me to worry about.

    Craftsman 3 pc. Pry Bar Set in Tray

    I was at Sears today and this price is also the "in store" price. I picked up the last two sets in N. Attleborough, MA Sears. FWIW, the register drone seemed to think they were clearing out the last of the USA stock . . . but they rarely know what's going on anyway.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Re: what did you do in your garage today? Changed the cap, rotor, plug wires and spark plugs on my 2000 GMC K3500. It's got 109k miles on it, so it was time. This weekend I'm going to change the oil, replace the fuel and air filters.

    Should I retrofit my incandescent work light with this LED screw in?

    So, I've tried a similar retrofit for my work light, and let me tell you 110 lumes is VERY dim, I returned it right away. It was also very directional, like a poorly focused spot, nearly no off axis illumination. CFL's come in decently bright sizes and the newest ones dont need to "warm up,"...
