Apparently I don't have any. This is the cycle I usually go through: I NEED this item! *research* *research* *research* I'll put that on my wishlist for later. After I've done this for a few items, I go on a spending spree of "I NEED this, this, this, and that. And that's how I ended up with...

Cman Job Vise Preview I spotted these in store about a week or two ago. It's identical to the Ridgid and Triton models, but comes with a free jaw capacity extension. It's cheaper than the Jawhorse, but with smaller jaws and a less rugged-feeling frame. It's much cheaper as well, though. A good...

Gearwrench wrench deal details (via TG) I don't know what's going on, but I came across insane prices on Gearwrench wrenches. 7pc XL X-beam sets (zero offset) for $24. I think Sears is responding to Lowe's super low wrench pricing, but it's hard to say. Doesn't really matter. Even though I...

Similar to what I asked in my TG headlamps vs work lights post earlier today, I'm curious - what does everyone here prefer? I'm a mostly headlamp kind of guy. You?

Most recently, Monte posted about a Petzl Pixa headlamp, and after looking into them I just had to have one! (Great purchase decision, btw). So... what have you bought b/c of this forum? You can mention other forum-inspired purchases as well.

My personal tendency is to avoid drilling with a cordless screwdriver or impact driver. There's too much initial wobble, and even if it trues out while boring the hole, there's too much friction and rubbing against the hole walls for my liking. If I don't need precision placement or sizing, I...

Bosch 18V Drill/Impact Deal Details (via TG) I couldn't believe my eyes! $111 minus the current $20 off $100+ promo, -> $91 at checkout! I couldn't resist and ordered a set for personal use. Or maybe to give as a gift, not sure. I just couldn't let the deal go w/o buying one. (My name is Stuey...

Home Depot Black Friday Tool Deals (via TG) It took a while to sort through this flyer as well. It's still not supposed to be public yet, so I picked out the better of the deals. There aren't too many shockingly good deals there, but a couple are quite nice. Fein oscillating tool kit for $200...

Sears Black Friday Tool Deals via TG Phew, it took me a while to sort through a leaked sales flyer and put the links together. Most of the DoorBuster deals are 50%-off, but the 2-day deals are lackluster and thus omitted. I also found a Sears press release that says the DoorBuster deals will be...

I ordered a Facom cantilever tool box for myself and although it will take a few weeks to arrive, I'm very optimistic about its quality. I had a thought - would anyone be interested in participating in a group buy? I might be able to negotiate a discount, but the sales rep won't discuss numbers...

Someone emailed in asking a couple of Q's about what I thought about Craftsman's C3 19.2v cordless tools. I said that: the line is here to stay the tools are often no-frills designs (which can be good or bad) they're a good value for DIYers When shopping for new cordless power tools for...

Those of you with older Weller soldering irons/guns may be interested in a recent All-Spec giveaway I came across. If the tool's still in working condition, take a photo of it and email it to them. The person who sends in a photo of the oldest working tool wins a new soldering station. But...

I ordered 2 pairs of Knipex Alligator pliers, and I'm not too happy with them. When adjusting the jaw opening, half the time the joint locks up because I did not align the pivot precisely enough. While I have jammed up tongue and groove pliers before, it did not happen as often. Is the...

Seriously. Their 12V line seems to be doing very well, but someone at Craftsman saw a hole in the 4v market. I wrote a detailed Craftsman 4v tool preview via TG if you're interested in details. Anyways, there will be a screwdriver, shears, roatary tool, soldering iron, headphones, and...

I do, it's a terrible habit. Some of the time it's because I see a tool that looks to be able to do a jog quicker or better. But once I get it, it's too gimmicky to use for broader applications, and so it stays in the box. Other times I am swayed too easily towards sales and combo kits. The...

About 2 weeks ago I had a couple of minutes to check out Dewalt's new unreleased flashlights. I was a bit skeptical but ended up really liking the pre-production models quite a bit. There will be 2AA, 3AAA, and 3D models, with 80, 120, and 120 lumen max outputs. The 3D flashlight will have a...
