    On the Snap-On Truck

    I read nearly all the responses in this thread. It is quite odd to me. I went to a tech college got two degrees in IT related fields and a handful of certifications. Very similar process to guys or gals going to school to become an auto mechanic. During my school included in my tuition loan I...

    Has HF really stepped up their game with hand tools?

    Honest question: Does anyone know if harbor freight specs tools out to manufacturers or if they just buy the tools the manufacturers already make and just print their name to it. It would seem the two methods above would determine if HF is upping their game or if the manufacturers are upping...

    SPG International Tool Box 1/2 Price Liquidation

    Yeah I been out looking at other boxes as I am not totally excited about the drawer layout and I cannot find any at 1,000$ or less that have drawers this thick. And sturdy. I can deal with the drawer layout in regards to the price and stoutness. Sent from my G8141 using The Garage Journal...

    Thinking about new 3/8 sockets

    I am not sure about Williams but proto has proper detents. Craftsman that I had/have are double detents which do not always work proper with wobble extensions. With Sk it is hit or miss if they will even come with detents. Proto has some really nice chrome much better than craftsman. Even black...

    Williams vs. Armstrong 36 Tooth

    The Armstrong has a really nice contour grip. I have a brand new 1/2" flex head that is really nice. Same handle as the Armstrong 90 tooth round heads but different than the Maxx access 88t ratchets. The 36 is clunky and not smooth. Sent from my G8141 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Does cost REALLY dictate quality?

    I guess proto didn't get the memo that prices should be going down. Sent from my G8141 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Show your new tool arrivals

    Sonic is one of the higher end Taiwan made tool importers. They claim to be the Corvette race team tool of choice. Some stuff seems nice and when they have sales price is nice. Full price is too high for most tools. Sent from my G8141 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Tools of Japan

    Man skip the Japan ones and buy the bacho right next to them. If you want the Japan ones compare them to the Bacho right next to them. If they compare good then buy them. To me those Japan wrenches look similar to the 1960-1970s Sears branded (not craftsman) Japan made adjustable wrenches which...

    Adding vapor barrier if garage already has tar paper on the outside?

    Don't forget to check local codes too. I recall king county recently changed some insulation rules. I think I am lazy to look up right now. Maybe it only applied to new construction.. Sent from my G8141 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Does cost REALLY dictate quality?

    I paid $2500 usd for a dog. Not any better or any worse than a 50$ stray from the pound. But I like the breed and the cost of re-establishment is quiet high when avoiding line breeding and all the health and DNA tests that are involved. Plus every time I spend money is a chance that my wife...
