    Evaporust anyone?

    Ya, the :wtf: was to imply sarcasm as my area of southern California rarely sees temps below freezing (maybe one or two times a year). It rained quite a few time on these pliers though. I hope I didn't offend you sk farmer and I would not like to trade places, but thanks! As for the "little...

    Evaporust anyone?

    Well I haven't seen an Evaporust thread in a while so I figured I would post some before/after pictures. These are some very cheap needle-nose pliers I accidentally left on one of my customer's roofs. It was up there about 4 months through the harsh southern California winter :wtf: and got...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    http://www.traderjoes.com/ Not sure if they have them in your area but by far the best prices on eggs (if you don't want to buy 5 dozen) and they always check them for you. I am already in the habit of checking them myself but it's always nice that they do too.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I agree. I should have looked them over before buying. I doubt I'll make the trip back just to exchange a couple of them, these will just be my beater clamps. Wouldn't that be nice!

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I was in the need of some c-clamps and I have been looking around for a while for some American made ones that I could afford. Nothing yet:dunno: Even though I hate buying Chinese tools I saw Harbor Freight was having a sale on some clamps so I said what the hell and bought some. The 6" were...

    Who Makes The Best / Most Durable tool bag?

    I have used a few different tool bags over the years. Most recently a Craftsman bag that looks like this: It has lasted me about a year and a half of pretty heavy use (crawling in attics, under houses and on roofs). The inner supports have pretty much given up and the outer pockets are...

    Craftsman "coated" Stainless Steel Cabinets

    I just read you are picking it up at your store. Check it for dents before you leave Sears! It's not too much fun loading and unloading the thing.

    Craftsman "coated" Stainless Steel Cabinets

    I got that same combo for Christmas. I am pretty happy with it after I returned the chest 3 times. I kept getting ones with dents in between the top drawer and the "lid" (next to where it says Craftsman and Ball Bearing Griplatch). I even went to 3 other Sears stores to find ALL of the floors...

    Channellock stuff :D

    I have been using the Channellock stuff for a while. I am very happy with all the things I have used. Made in the USA and WAY cheaper than Klein. Even their adjustable wrenches that aren't made in the USA (Made by Irega - Spain IIRC) are some of the nicest I have used. I have yet to find another...

    February Craftsman Club

    I want to make my fist purchase off of a Craftsman Club flyer but the 800 doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Do they honor the flyer prices in store?

    Who likes to play dumb?

    I am an HVAC tech here in California and I go on calls all the time when people are trying to get a second opinion when they feel something isn't right with the first one. I went on a call today where a lady was told by a tech from another company that all her ducts needed to be replaced...
