This is the SK set I picked up today for $100. It has been posted for 2 months for $200. I made an offer of $150 with no response. Last months I picked up a full set of SAE 1/4" to 1-1/4" for $50 in the roll. It was a satin finish and had never been used. That makes 2 very good tool...

Just buy Milton. They make everything top notch and you will not pay truck prices. My bet is the truck brands have Milton make theirs. Milton air fittings are the best money can buy. I use their tire inflators, gauges, fittings and just about everything they make. Never had anything go bad...

Festool is really over price. They are very good quality but very expensive. You need a hammer drill for concrete. The cordless tools really are not designed to drill concrete. Old concrete if cured properly really can be harder then steel. I would not want to take a chance and mess up a...

You sir are clueless. Some of the models were not as good but many models are very good for a small late. The cheap imports are all ****! I might be a general contractor and architect now but in my former life I was a tool and die maker. I have owned 20 Atlas Lathes through the years. For a...

Have you tried running the motor by itself? That should have been your fist test. Take the belt off and run it. The motor might have burned out. If it runs then I would say it is your pressure switch. You need to adjust it so it works for the pressure settings you want. They never come...

You can not use PVC for anything commercial or in any business. With that said I will tell you I have been #40 for home and my private shops for 46 years. Only once I had a joint pull apart and it is one I did not glue. It is rated for 240 pounds. Use a primer and then the glue. Just let...

I am sure the unit will work for a long time. The hose is not very good. I would use it until it cracked then just know it will need replacing. Good hoses can last 30 years. I have some that are older they are still good. It is hard to beat the price. Good high end used ones are hard to find...

Are you at work or home? If you are at home get a de-humidifier. They work great even in a garage. I had a piano that stuck all the time with humidity. I put a 25 watt bulb in it and it never stuck again. That was way back in the 50's Packets work but I don't think they will work well enough...

What you should buy is what you need and use what you have for now. Having the best is nice but not necessary. When you do buy tools try to plan ahead and buy them used. You will save 60% if you do a good job of shopping. At this point in your life don't buy more than you really need. You might...

$150 to much and it is not all that good of drill press. Keep looking Jet, Delta are good ones but you want one that is larger. You can get a good used 17' drill press for $250. If you were close I would sell you one. I have over 60 pieces of machinery in the shop on my farm that I am going...

Just go to Sears and buy one of their 300 piece tool kits when it is on sale for $250 You will need some other hand tools but they can be picked up at yard sales and swap meets for a couple of dollars each. You don't need any air tools, you don't need cordless anything to work on a car...

Your are not the first one to buy a bad tool that can not be replaced. It happens millions of times through the years. Just rite it off. I have had hundreds of them that I have sold through the years. I never paid more than $3 for any of them and most of the time it was a dollar or less. It...

You must have way to much free time on your hands if you are worried about the paint on a chain saw. I have several dozen chain saws on the farm. Some are 60 years old. I would never bother painting one. That is a hoot. I would not even do it if I were trying to resell the tool. You...

In my construction business I only use Bosch or Milwaukee. They are the tow best brands hands down. I think the Bosch is about 5% better made but both are the same in use. I have at least a 100 power tools and some yeas they get heavy use. Years back Milwaukee had a hard time with a...

HF has a lot of good items. Tool boxes Impact sockets, wish the did not skip sizes. I have all the good brands but use them in my construction business and they have held up very well. Some of their lifts and cranes are good value. I like their small chip brushes. I sue them in refinishing...

There is nothing to sell of on the Kenmore line. All that lines is, is rebranded other products. It is a name only and they manufacture nothing. The name has a good reputation but that is all it is. In business school they teach you that there is not much value in a name. As for...

As a contractor I get 30 percent off from grainger. It will not be hard to beat them other than I can be there in 20 minuets if I really need something. I buy most things from wholesale houses. I never boy tools ther. They are an industrial supply house, not your local tool store. The will...

Who cares what the drawers and legs are. It is a complete workbench. Nice score. They will clean up nice.

Hanson tap and dies have been around for 100 yeas. They are owned by Erwin and they are very good. Craftsman are better than most. Greenlee are another good brand. You can not and will not go wrong with any of the 3 of these. Craftsman makes different size sets. I have them all. I have...

The box ends do not have a lot of relief. They will put more pressure on the corners. Even the Craftsman raised panel is a better wrench hands down. I have a 1/4" ratchet with a Mexican brand name on it but it was made by a Snap-on owned company. Snap-on is made all over the world. The...
