If I wasn’t going to put a new skin over the top of the existing dash, I agree that it would be the more prudent move. In this case, I’m covering the entire dash with a new Dashkin as it appears to offer better durability in addition to the relative ease of repair. I feel pretty confident that...

All good ideas so far -thank you. I actually hadn’t even considered the end nippers. I figured I could use a die grinder or even a dremel after a pair of angle cutters but the end nippers would be even better. How often do the flush cutters come in handy for zip ties though? I imagine I’ll end...

I recently acquired a 1999 2 door Tahoe 4x4. I’ve been lusting after one for over a decade and I found a solid rust free truck recently that’s now going to be a build project for me. The dash board is cracked as is typical of that era GM truck. I plan on buying and installing a Dashkin cover as...

I understand where you’re coming from. In this case though, it really looks like there is only 1 company that makes them and they just paint them different colors depending on whether they are going to Harbor Freight, Astro, Redline stands, wherever. It appears that there is literally no...

That’s kind of where I’m getting at. I don’t need them to support the truck by themselves so that I could lower the lift, I just like having a backup in case of some catastrophic failure - which again is unlikely since I’m using a Mohawk lift lol. I guess I’m just a belt AND suspenders kind of...

Just received the tools I purchased from AJHD. The purchase was made on Sunday, and they arrived safely on Wednesday. If my wife told me she just picked up the tools off the SnapOn truck on the way home from work I wouldn’t have doubted it. These tools are NEW. Thank you very much for such a...

Are these: https://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-capacity-underhoist-safety-stand-61600.html under hoist Jack stands really ok? I don’t really see much difference between these, the Red line units, or even the Astro units that Harbor Freight compares them to? I like Astro stuff, and honestly...

I’ve got some Craftsman labeled, non striking cap Wildes, and some Matco branded, strike cap equipped Mayhews that I got a great deal on. I can‘t recall any of the, giving me a problem. I’d say I prefer the Matco versions with their strike caps, and now much easier means of warranty, but I still...

I really love my SnapOn Dual 80 reversible ratcheting wrenches. I got rid of all my GearWrench reversible when I got my first few SnapOn Dual 80s. To me, reversible is a necessity which already limits the field available. The Dual 80s to me have the most ratchet and socket type feel of any of...

Thank you!!!

Outstanding! Sign me up! Seriously, what’s the model number for the newest hotness 3/4” Thor? My wife was asking what to buy me for my birthday next month, so you have now helped me decide! Thanks!

I want to buy a 3/4” impact. Doesn’t matter if it’s pneumatic or cordless, but it needs to have some power. I would be perfectly happy to get something like the current 3rd generation Milwaukee impact, or the new Matco pneumatic that are identical to the 1/2” drive but with a 3/4” anvil. I don’t...

I believe that Mohawk and some Rotary are the only big names that are still made in the USA.

ProjectFarm just did a review of a number of welders and the YesWelder did really well for the money. I think it came in 3rd overall despite the $300-$350 price if I remember correctly. A $2300 Lincoln came in first place and a higher end Harbor Freight Vulcan priced at around $1100 came in...

I love my Proto AXIS ratchet. I only have 1 and it’s a half inch drive flex head and the last few times I’ve used them, I actually grabbed it more than my SnapOn dual 80. Part of that was probably because it’s a few inches shorter than my SnapOn half inch drive flex head, but it’s a great ratchet.

I sold a few of them when I worked at Sears in College. Based upon my experience, I would not pay more than $500 for that setup. To me that would be an auxiliary setup at best. Sears touted those boxes as equivalent to the truck brands back in the day, and frankly they were close - back then...

And those USA made ratcheting combo wrenches are the best on the market too! I like USA made and generally avoid non USA, Japan, or German made at all costs, but the dual 80 reversible ratcheting combination wrenches are the best on the market regardless of where they are made. And to me, I have...

It depends on where they are made. If made in China or Taiwan then it’s a hard no for me. If they are made in USA then I might give them a shot.

I love my SnapOn combo wrenches, so if the US made Williams are close copies of them then they are really nice wrenches. Having said that, I’d probably by the Wright. I’m done buying non-USA made tools, and I’m even trying to eliminate US made tools that I have under warranty that would be...

Needs more depth. I’m happy to see the effort to make something in the USA, but I really don’t have use for anything less than 28” deep anymore.
