    Want to start painting, need advise.

    I would like to paint things around the farm and want to move beyond rattle cans. Quite honestly I can get dang good results even with them with good prep and on small parts, but I would like to be able to use better quality paint and have the ability to do larger surfaces, trucks, the...

    What is it?

    I hate these threads as they feel like clickbait, but I don't know what this is and am sure someone will. No numbers on the handle. Too small to open a beer. Seems like it's to open or pull something specific.

    Last few new tools purchased from eBay, come from amazon... What gives?

    So I bought a few new things with eBay's recent 20% off sale, all from different sellers, and every single one came from amazon. I always check both so I know the pricing I was seeing was very similar, under a dollar different for most, before the promotion. How are people making this work? As...

Other than that info is slim by my usual methods. Were they a short lived holding company similar to...

    Recent orders... and cats.

    I recently had cause to order from several larger distributors who happened to have the best price on things I was looking for. My brother was involved and has always wanted to order from Harry J. Epstein's because they will apparently draw cats on the box. He's a cat guy... I know, gross...

    Apex SJ-409-2 What is it?

    I bought what I would guess is a military surplus set at a pawn shop. It includes SAE and metric short impact proto sockets in 1/2 drive, a couple extensions, and a swivel. Then there are several apex bits, a 3/8 bit holder and an apex SJ-409-2. It is 1/2 square drive. I cannot figure out what...
