    Have extension cords been afflicted with CCA yet?

    I'm looking to buy a good extension cord for running 12A power tools from a generator or other portable power source. I'm seeing some cheaply priced 10/3 x 100' and started wondering if I need to be concerned about copper-clad-aluminum strands or not. It was an ordeal trying to find the pure...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Where? Over here, hand tools aren't overpriced at all.

    NWS Pump Pliers

    Some folks think they make the rules, and like to hear themselves complain about trivial things. These people are pathetic, just ignore him.

    NWS Pump Pliers

    Why do you think I prefer NWS over Knipex? I never said that. Maybe you prefer men over women because you like mustache rides.

    NWS Pump Pliers

    NWS pliers are better than people crying about forum dates all day. On a current, ongoing thread, no less.

    Borrowing tools

    Whenever you let anyone touch anything of yours, you have to be prepared to deal with how you'll handle a potentially awkward situation, if it comes back in worse shape, or if it never comes back at all. Getting mad won't help anything, but will hurt your sanity. If it's a close friend, then...

    spray to remove stickers

    I've heard that oven degreaser might work for you, but I've never tried it. I just debadged my new trailer, and some of the stickers were impossible to remove, like the Dealer's Billboard Advertising they expect me to parade around for them for free. I used a heat gun, and all the stickers...

    I'd sell you mine, if I didn't want to keep them. One of my most favorite tools.

    Low price on a Craftsman Thumbwheel ratchet

    Or three (3) small box-end raised-panel wrenches for only $95. It looks like he polished the **** out of them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-VINTAGE-CRAFTSMAN-3-PC-STUBBY-BOXED-END-WRENCH-SET-4-CHECK-IT-OUT-NICE-/272183094245

    Hi Everyone. I am new to the site

    Look up the part numbers online, then check eBay's completed listings to see the current market values. Click on the USED radio button, to see their second-hand values. I might be interested if you're selling a Snap-On rolling tool box for cheap.

    Low price on a Craftsman Thumbwheel ratchet

    He's taking all the fun out of buying old/vintage tools, then price gouging you for his "labor". Perhaps it's a lucrative business for him.

    Advice please

    They would be used for holding/clamping things, securely. :headscrat:headscrat

    Who made these?

    I don't know, but those pictures reminded me to never get cushion handles on anything, ever.

    Ironworks 55" Tool Chest

    Yeah, I was thinking that was kind of extreme, but it says the drawers are 16G, which is still really ********. Looks more like a stage-prop, all gothic and stylized, but I've never seen an old, used box that looks like that. They tend to be more rust-colored, and much less cool looking. I...

    Impact sockets for hand and impact use?

    This seems to be the best way. I have all chrome 1/4" and 3/8" drive, then opted for the DUO Grey Pneumatic sets for the 1/2" shallows, and then regular GP impacts for the 1/2" deeps. I am sort of tempted to get a full set of the DUO sockets in 1/4" for my new M12 Fuel impact gun, though...

    Any ratcheting wrench recommandations ?

    I have the Jokers, they're completely flat at the ends, with no offsets. They're also not "reversible". They don't have a lever, so you have to flip them over to change directions, which adds to why they don't have offsets, but the open end is completely straight forward too, and have that...

    Snap-on Inc. is now majority owned by Harbor Freight Co.

    That guy sure does make a lot of money. My contributions for him to be riding around in yachts with celebrities and strippers, has kept me poor. I feel like a greasemonkey slave.

    One Big Snap On or A Few Smaller Rollcabs?

    In a shop, I'd rather just have one large box. I wouldn't want to unlock 3 boxes every day, and I wouldn't be moving it around much, if at all. A larger box is more prestigious, and commands respect. For the home, I'd probably rather have three smaller boxes, as long as I already had homes...
