    Reversible Stubby Ratcheting Wrenches

    I'm only seeing a handful of these out there, including Blackhawk, Williams and Icon. I'm leaning toward the Icon due to cost. COO on everything I've seen seems to be Taiwan regardless of whose name is stamped on the tool. Is there another mfg. with reversible stubbies that I should take into...

    Columbian Vise ???

    I have a coworker who may be willing to sell me this 5” Columbian vise. Unfortunately, that’s all the info I have at the moment. What can y’all tell me about it and what should I offer for it?

    Guys, I need to pick up a few 3/4" square or round carbide inserts for a cedar tree saw, but I'm not familiar with the terminology. Can y'all help me out? I need a few of these cheap, and quickly, in this style: See pic.

    Jet Deluxe Drill Press?

    The motor on my POS Northern tool 8" drill press just went TU, and it will be time to upgrade, hopefully soon... I drill a little bit of everything from HDPE to 3/8" mild steel, although steel drilling will be more rare. I've looked at craigslist, letgo and offerup multiple times and there...

    Garage Door Opener Recommendations

    I have a 16x8 insulated* steel garage door on my workshop and I'm tired of lifting the door manually. All I need is something reliable and $200 or less with a keypad. I don't need anything fancy like smartphone connectivity. I would prefer that it be toward the quieter end of the spectrum too...

    IR 35MAX Impact Wrench

    Anyone ever use one of these? I’m in the market for an inexpensive 1/2” impact that’s lightweight. This one is looking pretty good at the moment and I like the push-button fwd/rev and the enclosed trigger.

    Indexing Head Pry Bars

    Has anyone ever broken one of these? I'm curious as to how much force/abuse one of these things will take before failing.

    Channellock Combination Wrenches

    Has anyone picked up a set of these yet? How do you like them? I bought a metric set today, owing to their similarity to Carlyle wrenches at 1/2 to 1/3 the price. I got them to keep in the pickup for emergency/farm repairs, but won't likely use them for a while.

    New Flare Nut Wrenches - Your Thoughts?

    What do you think about the broaching and the chrome plating, and who do you think made the wrenches? I'll post up who made them later. In the meantime, I'm curious to know your thoughts on the quality.

    Ratcheting Wrenches - Does anyone make?

    Maybe I'm an oddball, but I'd really like to have a set of double-box end flex head ratcheting wrenches in a "standard" length. All I'm able to locate are the "extra long" wrenches. Does anyone reputable make such a critter?

    Carlyle Sockets - QC Problem?

    I just picked up a set of 1/2" dr. Shallow metric 6 pts. And noticed that on approximately half of them, the broach and chrome look perfect and on the other half, it looks like ****. Based on Carlyle's price, reputation and the ratchets I have, I was expecting better than this. Am I off base, or...
