For those that sell the truck brands or those who are in the know with things, what is the best truck brand to work for? I'm not looking to go into the business by any means but was curious to see if one company is better to work for than another. I'm sure Snap-on would be one of the easiest...

So I was taking my usual stroll to Lowes (I seriously walk there from my house) to kill some time and look around. I've been watching the Kobalt Taiwan-made 7 and 11 piece wrench lately since more and more of the blister packs are showing up with Chinese wrenches. Well I go to pick up the $40...

Half off the metric and SAE 8 piece sets. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/gear-wrench-8-piece-reversible-ratcheting-combination-wrench-set-sae-9533/25984315-P?navigationPath=L1*14924%7CL2*15040...

I was thinking that I might want to try to find some used Kobalt socket and wrench sets. I was thinking about trying to find some Williams-era socket sets to replace my existing Craftsman stuff and picking up Dahaner or Taiwan products for in the road box or to gift to my dad. I'd probably...

I was curious if anyone had any good comparisons between these three brands for wrenches and socketry as all three are presumably made by Apex in China. Any discernible differences in quality or fit and finish between them? Does anyone have any pictures of any of these side by side?

I'm going to my one and only flea market this year over the weekend. I really don't do the flea market thing too much and wanted a price check on a few items. If anyone has an idea of what I should pay for some of these items please let me know: Craftsman raised panel combination wrenches...

So a little over a year ago my father who owned a used car lot, lent his mechanic some money. The guy put his tools up for collateral and flaked out. We picked up the tools and my father gave them to me under the agreement of what I didn't need I would sell and put to my son's college fund...

I'm always impressed with some of the tool and box setups on this site. However, after seeing some of the pics of the Harbor Freight 4 and 5 drawer tool carts, I got to thinking about what can be done with minimal space at hand. What have you done to get as much functionality (not necessarily...

Does anyone know what this is (or was)? The head is a dead ringer for a S-K 1/2" drive ratchet but what about the handle? Is is genuine S-K or a knock-off?

I wanted to share a recent save I did on an old Power-Kraft 1/2" drive ratchet I received a in a lot of tools I was given. It first hit the scrap pile as I figured it was done for. However, last week I decided to pull it out and see if I could find new parts for it. After a little research I...

I'm doing some CL shopping for air compressors and came across to distinctly different units. One is a 20 year old IR - 1-stage, 60 gal, 125 psi max. The other is a Speedaire - 2-stage, 32 gal, don't know the max psi yet. Between the two which one would be the better compressor? Would the...

I spent the last couple of days removing paint and rough spots from my floor and would like to coat it. Through all the cleanup my floor has developed a really nice patina that I would like to accentuate with something that has some gloss to it. However, the surface is pretty smooth. Most...

First I would like to compliment everyone on this board for the knowledge and assistance they bring to the table. I have spent quite a few hours over the last few weeks reading and seeing what others have done and am very impressed. That said, I bought a house this summer and now am in the...
