    Three PB Swiss Torx Drivers

    I ordered 3 drivers during the recent "PB madness" that Amazon called "Screwdriver for Slotted Screws" and they showed up as Torx. I don't need them, and was about to return them, but thought maybe I should pass on the deal here first. If nobody wants them they go back to Amazon for a refund. I...

    Looking for 1/4" hex shank "nut driver" bits with DETENT!

    I'm looking for 1/4" hex shank "nut driver" or "socket" bits that have the detent on them...you know, the "cut" mark on the corners of the shank, like most 1/4" hex screwdriver bits have. For some reason it seems all the nut-driver/socket style bits I find are smooth shanked and thus work only...

    Advice re: Electric Chain Saw Purchase

    I am eyeballing this Makita electric chain saw. I live in Los Angeles, where all the trees/shrubs on my property are within 125 feet of an outlet. This saw takes 14.5 amps. Would I be able to use this saw with 125 feet of 12 AWG extension cord? I am considering electric first because: 1)...

    Odd "Continental Air" 1/4" Ratchet...

    Spotted this little 1/4 ratchet at the market today, and picked it up for $5, because it was marked, "Continental Air Tool, Cerritos, CA". There is a hole in the drive that goes all the way through. There is no detent ball, or place for one. A socket just falls off, if you put one on. Any...

    Help: S-O Roll Cart, Want to Add Drawer

    I bought this Snap-On roll cart around 2000 I think. I don't know what the item number is, and can't find it stamped on the cart. It has been a great tool, extremely useful, money well spent. I told myself that when I had the need, I'd buy the optional drawer that was an add-on accessory. Now...

    EOR brightens chrome?!?

    I could swear that chrome tools that get an EOR dunk, are brighter when they come out of the tank. Am I imagining this? I'm starting to use EOR on the rehab of tools that have no rust on them at all. But that makes no sense. :headscrat Perhaps I have gone un-sane.

    Would You Consider a Hilti Cordless Drill/Driver?

    I'm due for a new drill/driver. My 12v Makita is getting long in the tooth. I was fondling the Hiltis at HD. They have a heavy quality feel. Actually, quite heavy. And then I noticed that they are still using NiCad batteries? Isn't that several generations-old technology? Is Hilti still in...

    What, for cutting steel cable?

    I have been using steel cable for trussing tables. Don't have a good solution for cutting it. Every time I see a nice looking cable cutter, it says, in big letters, "Do not use to cut steel." OK, I give up. What is the correct tool for cutting steel cable?

    Any reports of Cman boxes failing under weight?

    I purchased my Cman boxes (lower, mid, top = 20 drawers total, 5'5" high) before I got hooked on GJ, so I don't have any bragging rights regarding my box. However, my box is getting pretty full (thanks to you bastards who keep showcasing great tools I desperately need). I am wondering, are...

    How to sell/ship to Canada from USA?

    Can we USA people ship to Canada using USPS without going to the PO? Using flat rate boxes? Can it be done via the PayPal shipping label option? IOW, is it easy? If I could figure out how to do this, I'd open up my sales to Canada. My one requirement is that I absolutely, positively will not...

    Craftsman Club Card -> "ShopYourWay Rewards" Card?

    A Sears drone told me they're doing away with the Craftsman Club card, and substituting a new blue-colored "Sears ShopYourWay Rewards" card. I don't believe anything I'm told by Sears cashiers, unless I hear it on GJ first. Anybody know? I now have two Sears cards, both the red Craftsman...

    Temporary Blast Cabinet...?

    From time to time, I need to do a little bead blasting on relatively small items at my very cramped shop. I don't have room for a blast cabinet on a permanent basis. Does anybody make a blast cabinet that breaks down flat and/or folds away when you're done with it?
