    My wife and I recently purchased a home that was built in the 1950’s. The entire home has been remodeled, unfortunately the garage was not.

    Anyone notice the 50-70% markup of certain Carlyle tools? The 1/4” ratchet was $31.99 and that 1/2” was always $82.99. I get there’s inflation, but dang… I hope they’re not for real.

    Craftsman USA Tool Prices

    With the soon to be released Craftsman USA mechanics tools coming out of Texas, I thought for sure the eBay sellers and buyers would cool their jets a bit and prices would begin to fall back down to earth. I was wrong. Has anyone else noticed more people asking astronomical prices for their...
