    Lowes to sell Craftsman

    Great news. Nothing wrong with made in China Craftsman tools. Fact is US manufacturing can't compete globally, otherwise we would have the plants. No one wants the jobs at the proper wage. Everyone wants something for nothing. Learn from Germany and make the World thirst for "US Engineering"...

    Knipex Pliers Wrench 5" or 7"

    I got a 5" and 10", I use it for homeowner plumbing jobs. So I recommend 5". Their jaws open very wide, so I figure the smaller the better considering tight spots we have to work in.

    kitchen outlets not working, checked the obvious...

    sometimes inside outlets are fed from outside GFCI. Like the one in backyard in weather tight cover. Or maybe even a garage GFCI. My house has this setup. Yeah I know......it is retarded. These trac homes will save a penny anywhere they can.

    Anyone using a roomba in their garage?

    Everything is off the floor in my garage. So I simply take my ridgid blower and blow everything out the doors. Then once awhile I mop the floor.

    HF blantantly copying Snap on look

    Here is my take on HF: If you are good, then you can do the work with HF tools. If you **** at it, then you need Snap On, everything Milwaukee makes, and a shiny Cornwell tool chest. I employee tons of field technicians. They hop from one state to another in first class with free checked bag...

    Bye Bye Craftsman Clear Handles...

    Craftsman comfort grip diamond tip drivers. Give those a try, you will be pleasantly surprised. They are made in POC though, but are cheap. Otherwise I like Klein for electrical and Wiha for other type of work.

    Bye Bye Craftsman Clear Handles...

    thank God the clear handles are going away. They couldn't compete with the Germans on quality and feel, and couldn't compete with Chinese for value. The diamond tipped drivers though, I like A LOT and I hope they make them here in the States to compete with the Germans. I think we can do it...

    HF blantantly copying Snap on look

    Now we are touting handle shape innovations? American innovation......of handle shape and colors? We invented red and black color schemes??? This sounds embarrassing if you ask me...

    Ridgid Gen5X Impact mod

    Same here. I like the Gen4 impact wrench, but not at retail price. I rather wait for the brushless and hope the Gen4 drops in price.

    "Real Tool Reviews"?

    I remember he did a video of tools to avoid at Sears. So not all "positive" reviews. I actually love his reviews. I hope more Youtubers are like him. He reviews some highly rated tools anyway, so what's the big deal that he gives them high remarks? Most, if not all the tools he reviews are...
