I bought this Makita impact driver off ebay for I think $15 plus $10 s/h a couple of years ago. It has performed great, but I am not sure how the previous owner got it so messed up. :) Exposed to chemicals, left in rain? Any type of cheap spray I could use on it that won't come off? If it's not...

I paid $30 for this vintage Craftsman metal toolbox with contents. The pics were pretty bad -- low light didn't move anything so everything was buried. Zero description other than "toolbox with tools". The bolt cutters are definitely a nice pickup, as I loaned mine out 2 years ago and never got...

I found this to be interesting. I bet his wife makes some aweome brownies, and since she's from the south, I'd love to try her biscuits and gravy.

A family friend's son has some health issues, and I've been wanting to build a go-cart for him and with him to teach him the basics of building stuff. I wanted to keep metal costs to $30 or below since it's all out of pocket on my end, and I have to buy an engine, wheels, seat, etc.. I just...

I pulled the trigger on a HF Titanium Easy Flux 125 for $179 (coupon price). Also, I bought some gloves, magnets, and an auto-darkening helmet. No more dragging projects over to a buddy's house (with a 12 pack of beer for payment). I also bought a 2 pound roll of the Vulcan welding wire for...

Brand new, unopened Husky 134 piece tool set. It'd make a great junkyard set or a trunk set. $40 or trade with some cash for a small basic welder.

$79 for a year of Office 365 Personal apps and a free bonus Surface Pen. This is a great deal if you like using the Office apps and have been wanting a Surface Pen (has over 4,000 pressure points). The pen itself goes for $99 normally. If you have multiple users in the house, the Office 365...

He bought the brushless 20V Craftsman regular drill with one battery for $100. I told him he should've bought the $119 2 tool kit that comes with 2 brushed drills -- the 20V CM drill and the 20V 1/4 impact driver with 2 batteries. Or the regular drill and 1/4 impact driver Ryobi kit for $95...

I went to a local store yesterday, and a guy with a Stanley hat was working on the electric sliding door -- presumably a Stanley Door employee. He had the door off -- adjusting the rollers or something. I noticed he was using HF and Wal-Mart tools. He had a Hart branded tool backpack...

It feels great to support such an awesome site that's helped me a lot and saved me lots of $$$$ and frustration on car repairs, house repairs, other stuff, etc.. I have learned a lot from here. Also, it's great to have a place with like minded folks to get things off my chest, commiserate with...

I saw the Napa flier today, and they are having 5 quarts of their Napa brand full synthetic oil and a Napa Gold oil filter for $21. My Focus is about due for a PM, so I went there today and bought oil/filter. Rang up to only 19 with tax for some reason. I'd rather have a 5 quart jug, but they...

A good friend of mine works at a local machine shop that builds items for mostly the drilling industry. He says the machinists don't know how to use the tools and equipment, so a lot of machines end up getting broke. So they usually have to revert back to using the old, simpler machines...

I have learned the hard way what tools to get over the years. This drain removal and installation tool is great. You can either put a screwdriver through the holes to turn it, or stick a wrench on it to turn it. It's nice because it's easier to not strip out or damage the threads in the...

This is a Pep Boys ebay store offering -- only $12 shipped. I ordered one, so I can stop having to round up a large piece of cardboard or an old blanket...

This add on for your air hammer looks pretty useful. Starts at 1:45 in the video. I can think back on some recent projects where this would've been handy to have and saved me some hassle. Also the tap extractor he shows afterwards looks nice too.

Elderly friend of ours had a screw in her tire, so I drove it over to a tire shop 2 miles away. The tech plugged it up and put the wheel back on. Then he picked up a torque wrench and set it to 100 foot pounds, and then it made a beautiful clicking noise as it reached the proper torque. And...

Excellent shape Proto larger portable box with a lock mechanism. Heavy duty. $40 or trade for a smaller roller box for my shed (I need to desperately consolidate all my shed hand tools into a box) -- at least 4 drawers. Brand doesn't matter -- CM, Stanley, HF, Stanley. Local trade only...

If you are a Rewards member do NOT toss your members awards flier that comes in the mail. There are 4 cards -- 2 for 25% off an item and 2 for a mystery award. Their rewards discount thing is free to join. It's just a discount card that a lot of stores have. I have a small one on my keys. I...

I was over helping a friend today. His rear axle assembly on his 2009 Dodge Caravan got bent. Someone backed over a rock or something, and the thing started eating rear tires. Anyway, the junk yard delivered a rear subframe/axle assembly today, and I went over to help. All the fasteners on...
