    Tariffs on Imported Tools - 2017

    While the Fedex and UPS rate increases are certain for next year, there's a lot of discussion about 35-45% tariffs on imports. That'll be great for all the people on the list who insist on US Country of Origin but could be a real game changer for all the Asian and Euro exporters.

    Fedex Rate Increase - 2017

    I just received an email from Fedex that their ground rates are increasing 4.9% effective January 2nd, 2017. UPS is probably sending out a similar letter to their customers. More importantly, the dimensional rate factor is changing from 166 to 139 (dim wt increase of approx 20%). For...

    Facom Ultra Slim Inspection Lamp

    Just got one of these in today. Nice design and incredibly thin lamp body for getting into tight spots....its less than 1/2" thick. I suspect others will follow with similar products. As this is a new product, it is currently being made in France. Eventually, like all other LED products in...

    Lumiram 40w PAR30 LED review

    I'm still a big believer in T5's and T'8's for general lighting in the garage but I've got a bunch of 5" recessed fixtures above my workbenches and in the detail garage that use PAR30's. I just got some of the new Lumiram 40w PAR30 LED lamps and was pretty impressed. I wrote a review with a...

    Wera Close-Outs (Nov 18 only)

    Wera is a European brand that I brought in for their quality screwdrivers and bits. Unfortunately, there's so much deep discounting on Wera between Chad's Toolbox and Amazon channel vendors (and no factory enforcement of their MAP policy) that the product line is not worth the investment. I've...
