    My latest score, your thoughts?

    Parts for the identical Grizzly G0833P will fit it, and the parts might be cheaper under the Grizzly moniker. Nice score, you done good!

    New Craftsman tools now at Lowes

    The Snap-on is "sealed" with a tiny rubber gasket, but can still be taken apart. The Stanley/Craftsman is "sealed" forever.

    The used one is more expensive than the new. Don't see that every day.

    Craftsman tools at Lowes

    From what I've read, Stanley Black and Decker intends to honor the warranty on the older tools: http://ir.stanleyblackanddecker.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=114416&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2252727 "We also understand the Craftsman warranty is important to existing customers and intend to honor existing...

    Proto 3/8" Drive 29 Piece Socket Set

    Wow. Sounds like you want an insane deal AND the high level of personal customer service that you so obviously demand. I won't even get into the pain you have suffered trying to figure it out. Hopefully they realize what an important customer you are, refund your money and hand deliver at least...

    Concrete failing around cut lines.

    While the points regarding tooled joints are valid, every paved concrete road in this country has cut joints. So do most driveways. They usually work fine. Yours shouldn't be failing at two years. Chances are whoever poured your drive sprayed water on it to either make it easier to finish, or...

    Air compressor oil weight

    In all likelihood it calls for non-detergent SAE 30. Lots of guys run 10W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic. I've run both in the past with no problems. If you think about it, the demands on the oil in a compressor pump are dramatically less than in an internal combustion engine.

    Harbor Freight 3 Ton Daytona Jack Versus Snap On FJ300 Jack

    Look at post #687 in this long *** thread. The most knowledgeable member of this forum (when it comes to jacks) tore one down and described what he found. In November... Of 2016.

    Proto 3/8" Drive 29 Piece Socket Set

    Apparently a lot of these people are too dense to understand the point you're trying to make. The elephant in the room is that Grainger made an obvious price mistake, and will most likely lose money on every socket set they happen to ship. I ordered one set, and if I end up with it, I'll...

    Gearwrench 3/8 socket set $104, comes with FREE 1/4" socket set 120xp

    I just got my sets from Sears today as well. Ordered them last Friday. $99.99 by following the link in post #105 above, sold by Mechanics Tool Warehouse. I received the 84 tooth 3/8" drive set as well, which is fine with me. All my sockets are stamped properly, although in general they are all...

    Triple Tap Extension Cords

    While the triple trap is convenient in the right situations, if you are moving around enough that the saw cord pulls on the triple tap, the weight of the triple tap will cause you to come unplugged. The triple is too bulky and heavy to "follow around" the saw cord. If you'll be moving and...

    Why havent Milwaukee/Dewalt/Makita/Rigid/Ryobi/etc come out with an 18v space heater?

    Producing usable amounts of electrical heat takes a lot of amps. The battery sure wouldn't last very long.

    Introducing the $400 Hercules miter saw at HF.

    Because their marketing team brainwashed them? Apparently, the Harbor Freight beats ______ campaign is reaching it's target.

    Craftsman Wood Socket Set

    Yeah, you're probably right. I don't feel so bad though, as he duped Woodworker's Journal and the guys at Rockler too. http://www.woodworkersjournal.com/hand-carved-tools/ http://www.rockler.com/how-to/whittled-wooden-tools-local-lumber/

    Harbor Freight 44" roller cabinets discontinuing?

    The attached photo appears to be legitimate, as the item number matches the coupon that is floating around. I would be surprised if the drawer depth increased by 6", when the exterior of the box is apparently increasing by 3.5". There is very little info out there right now beyond guesses and...
