    How often do you see your local tool truck driver on the road.

    I see my local Snap on rep sometimes once a week sometimes more. I also saw a Matco truck @ a tractor dealership. It can be tool trucks in general. ? I am trying to figure out how the tool ecosystem works.

    2020 ratchet review thread.

    My R12LQR is a Napa / Carlyle 1/2" long handle ratchet. It has a weird handle. Feel free to add your own ratchet reviews. The rebuild kit is in stock @ my local Napa in case I break it. The head is nice and small. It's got coarse teeth.

    Availability @ Harbor Freight.

    Specifically the Icon line of hand tools, is there a certain day when Harbor Freight gets a fresh delivery? I went to Harbor Freight on Friday night and they were basically sold out of Icon tools. Is this normal in your local Harbor Freight?

    Portable tool boxes.

    What do you recommend in tool boxes that 1 person can lift and put on the back of a pickup truck? I want to put a nail bag, claw hammer, speed square, and other tools inside the box. I would like something weatherproof. I don't really want drawers. I have not seen a real recent thread on this...

    Thanks for the ratchet and wrench thread.

    I would like to thank Puttsy for starting the ratchet and wrench thread. I thought I knew about ratchets and wrenches but I didn't realize all the different kinds that existed.

    What did you do today?

    I took apart 2 half -inch Craftsman ratchets and greased them. They say Forged in USA. The one looked similar to flathead youngins Craftsman ratchet. They are a lot quieter than before I greased them.

    3/4" ratchet.

    First of all, I want to say thank you for all the info on garage journal. I find it a bit overwhelming sometimes. Who makes the DeWalt 3/4 " ratchet? I saw one on clearance for $65 @ Rural King.

    Has anyone been to Lowe's recently?

    Does Lowe's have 3/4" Craftsman ratchets in stock? Or are they special order? I just looked through the weekly ad and didn't see any 3/4" sets.

    Virginia retailer For SK.

    Does anyone know where to buy new SK tools in Virginia outside of the Richmond metro area? I'm hoping that some one from Virginia chimes in. Thanks. I tried the SK website and came up empty. I even tried emailing SK and they told me to use the website.

    Rural King review.

    Does anyone shop in a Rural King brick and mortar store? They have a great selection of shovels and axes as well as Milwaukee power tools. They also have bulk .22 ammo.

    Channellocks- beyond the pliers.

    Does anyone use a channel lock splitting maul? Do they have a warranty? The ratchet has a warranty- I wrecked a 3/8 channel lock ratchet and was able to get a new one under warranty.

    Favorite brick and mortar store for hand tools.

    I am going to say Napa because of their convenient location. I would like to go to H.D. Supply in Charlottesville,VA sometime before I die to see if they actually stock Wright wrenches. What is your favorite hand tool store?
