If you insulate the garage, the entire house will benefit especially the media room. Even though the media room is already insulated, it will benefit from a garage with mild temperature.

Always insulate. Always!!!! If you can't afford 2K for insulation, then you probably shouldn't have a garage to begin with.

I get Knipex for cheap at Sears, using coupons and points.

Gearwrench has knurling on the metric sets. This is how they distinguish between metric and SAE.

If the detent is designed well then QR is not needed. When it comes to hand tools, simple is the key. When it comes to ratchets, the strength and ratcheting action are way more important than QR. If I find a good ratchet with good ratcheting action that happens to have QR, then I wouldn't...

Exact reason I went with the harbor freight set instead. No wobble plus, and made in Taiwan decent quality.

Garage is meant for cars. My card will always stay inside. I will never understand people who park outside.

Re: How rare is it to find these "Made in USA" Craftsman, for sale, NEW? That's not how the market works. If you buy American out of spite, not due to value or quality, you are weakening the American industry, not helping. If you keep giving your kid candy even though he hasn't...

Re: How rare is it to find these "Made in USA" Craftsman, for sale, NEW? I don't care about made in USA tools, especially if they are just going to charge premium for foreign parts with American assembly. That is worthless and I prefer not to support it. I do care if American...

At 5 miles an hour it is better to be in a F150 for minimal metal damage, but unibody structure performs better when lives are at risk. In fact, only the aluminum F150 was tested acceptable while the others were mediocre to terrible. They are just not very good, nor they are consistent across...

Sorry I have to resurrect my own thread. Thank you all for the recommendations. I ended up with 10" pliers wrench, 10" Cobra, 5" Cobra, Electricians Pliers, Mini Bolt Cutter, and will likely pick up an 8" diagonal cutter. I've tried so many brands over the last year or so, and Knipex is the one...

Re: ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★ I agree. Too much chatter has killed the HD yearly threads here. In 2015 and early 2016 I checked GJ regularly for HD deals. Now I go elsewhere. It got so bad that people were complaining, then other people complain about the complainers in...

nah, the new trucks are looking better than ever. I hope they continue the trend. I do hope they make trucks with better crash ratings. They have enough capabilities, but they still lag behind the typical SUV and family sedans in safety. I want my trucks, but I don't want to put my family in...

weird looking at a SK ratchet without knurling. I prefer my SK ratchet for this reason along.

most of the Kobalt flex head ratcheting wrenches are 75% off around here. I was able to piece together both metric (8-18mm) and SAE (5/16-13/16) for less than 75 bucks. All made in Taiwan, comparable to Gearwrench quality, maybe even better. I am very happy with these considering Kobalt's no...

Gearwrench XP120 in my tool chest. Extremely happy with my decision.

chances are lobbyists are working hard for tax incentive and subsidies from current administration. They will try to build this plant with cheap labor from Eastern Europe (although this might be difficult now that everyone knows what BMW, Volvo, Mercedes and Tesla had done this). Finally they...

Knipex. Done.

Problem is less and less people are interested in tools, DIY and working with hands in general. It won't help if we reduce immigration and young generation have less kids either.

Sounds like a USA final assembly with global parts. Trying to get on the buy USA trend with technicality. This doesn't work as Apple, Foxconn and Brazil have found out. Also, is the factory being built by Eastern Europeans making less than minimum wage?
