    Lowes / Kobalt lifetime hand tool warranty is a scam. No more Kobalt for me

    Great thread, my take - I worked in a hardware store many years ago, when my town had several such stores, now there are zero. Obviously I'm here reading these threads, I get it. The person who works in HD or Lowe's may well have been selling cell phones or hamburgers last week. They applied to...

    Shop Shears/Scissors

    I'm in EMS, the already mentioned EMS shears are by far the best value. I get mine from HF which is a better price than the medical supply house. I work with alot of plastic zip-ties on my other job & use the bypass pruning sears to cut them. I do notice they dull rapidly. Any thoughts on...

    CRAFTSMAN: USA vs Japan vs China

    Bit of a history lesson, not sure I picked up on that lesson in the posts, long before my time & after WWII the words "Made in Japan" stamped on a product was the kiss of death! I think "Nippon" was synonymous with that. Of course in the years since, we've learned to regard Japanese products in...

    Mis used tools.. How do you misuse or abuse some tools.

    I've used a floor jack to turn a wrench/breaker bar a couple of times maybe more...... Wow, that's brilliant, never thought of that! Usually I just jump on the breaker bar.......the snap and "c-r-e-a-k" are such rewarding sounds! ! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Anyone own a modern lithium jumpstart battery pack?

    I heard good things about them, they would appear to be the way to go for passenger cars. However, I have the Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel, anybody know if they make one big enough for a diesel? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    The Old Sockets Home - What to do with Crusty Cool Old Sockets?

    The "Warden " comment is priceless, just when I thought I was alone! My only negative ref the table, is that since all the sockets are different heights, I wonder how the backing was made to even the tops? A postive you might not of thought of, at the price of HF tools, you could assemble...

    Fair price for this SK 3/4 set?

    Would love to see the size of the "cheater" bar they used on a 3/4" ratchet to manage to bend it! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Tools that you thought were a good idea at that time but really serve no purpose

    Nut drivers- can be faster than rifling thru the 1/4 sockets, finding an extention and then the drive handle. Size is plainly marked. Speeder handles, mine are missing, I would use em' if I knew what happened to 'em, or look at it another way- I haven't missed them! Air ratchets, use 'em, love...

    Vehicle Oil Changes: Are you a DIY'er?

    My 2 cents-especially ref tire rotation, bought a tire at Firestone- gave explicit instructions: no clip on weights and rotate all 4 tires. After I picked up the truck it had A. clip on weights and B. 2 un-rotated tires. Worse yet when questioned the techs where threating & abusive. Beyond this...
