I've got Knipex,Channelocks,NEWSand Klein in my box but the pliers I carry on my side everyday is Wilde. On the farm I use them for everything. I cut wire,loosen and tighten nuts/bolts hold metal while I tack it place with a welder and much more. They are just the right size for plier holsters...

3/8 is the first set I would buy. I am a DIY truck/car and farm equipment hack and 3/8 does the vast majority of the work I need to do followed by 1/4 then 1/2. I would by the best set I could afford. Bought a SK set over 30 yrs ago and it still is going strong.

Metabo,buy once save money. It will last for years. Second choice would be Milwaukee.

I used to b a DeWalt fan,but my son bought me a Milwaukee Fuel 1/4" impact and hammerdrill combo for Xmas and it is the best I've ever owned. I had bought the DeWalt 20v lithium max drill and 1/4"set on black Friday. In a heads up test the Milwaukee drilled. 38 and 41 3/8" holes compared to 9...

Exactly why I won't buy tools off tool trucks, most,not all drivers have been grade A pri cks in my experience. I've been blessed and price for the most part is of no consequence. However I won't pay overinflated prices for "image" brands. Warranty is not a huge deal,don't break many tools...

In this area due to the piece being quartersawn oak the piece would bring 125.00 to 160.00. The box would be a great little gun parts/smith box.

This thread brings up memories of a deployment to Honduras in the early 80's while in the Army. The engineers would order lumber off the locals for base camp and have it the next day. Virgin timber, if they wanted a 2x6 20 feet long they got it knot free. The quality of lumber they delivered was...

After having traveled to China multiple times to source product for two very different companies over the span of my career I can tell you that you source and buy product that meets 90% of the customer base for that particular product. You don't care about meeting the nerds of the .05 percent of...

The sad part is that the majority of the public won't pay the price difference between USA made tools and offshore tools. At the farm store I work in a couple days a week the managers kept hearing "wish you carried American made tools" so they went out and added 12 feet of USA made tools, have...

+1 on using a bucket for snow removal sucking big time. I've got tractors from 45hp 4wd with Ag tires to 125 Hp 4wd and both **** with their loaders. Blades are much easier to use. Unless he has an area to push to and then pile the snow like w parking lot using a loader bucket to load and move...

I insulated my 60x80 with foam board over the purloins 10 years ago taped the seams. No issue with bugs or insects. Insulated the house with 6" cellulose with 1" foam board with reflective foil on the outside of the studs. I only spend 300.00 a year on propane and 250.00 on wood pellets heating...

Metabo all the way! I have abused the heck out of mine and it just keeps on going. I also have a Milwaukee fish tail that does a great job. The third one I have is a mid 80's Craftsman Professional that has been a good tool. The fourth is a Dewalt and its been a little disappointing compared to...

Thank goodness I live in a unincorporated rural county were the only permit required is a Federally mandated septic inspection. I have a creek, two big springs that flow all year,a three acre wetland and no one bothers me. You can build or renovate to your hearts desire as long as you don't...

Roto head ratchets are my favorite. I have a Snap On, SK,Kobalt,and HFin 3/8". Of course the best on the bunch is the Snap On by far, it never leaves the farm shop. I take the HF to work at the saw shop, as I only work a couple days a week and tools have walked away before so I take the least...

I agree on the viscosity of the oil, tried some new super synthetic oil a local firm is peddling and stuck the vanes in three different impacts, had to take them apart and clean everything up w kerosene and reassemble.

I have two continuous flowing springs and a fair sized creek on my property. In Missouri they leave you alone as long as you do not alter the natural flow of the springs or creek.

What is sad that after making numerous trips to both Taiwan and China and visiting all different types of mfg facilities imho the mainland Chinese are as capable of duplicating any level of hand tool quality in the world. The problem is it will cost about the same as anywhere else as there isn't...

I've got the variable speed dremel. It has held up for over 15 yrs. The Foredoom are the way to go if your going to use it daily.
