    Walmart Clearance

    I was with dad today getting some oil for his truck, when I noticed that all of the Hyper Tough jackstands, Black Jack bottle jacks, floor jacks, and even creepers were on clearance for 40-50%+ off. I snagged a $67 pair of 4-ton jackstands for $31 (online says $35). These are the stands I...

    I didn't see a dedicated thread for NT deals, so I figured I'd start one. Came across this today. Has pretty good reviews... https://www.northerntool.com/products/plews-lubrimatic-14oz-pistol-grease-gun-max-psi-6000-model-30-303-6439583...

    Waste oil storage/tank

    Right now, I'm keeping all my used oil in three 5-gallon buckets and one old 5-gallon gas can. They take up quite a bit of floor space, and I'm looking to simplify and consolidate it. What I want to do, is find an old air compressor tank in the 20-30 gallon range, stand it up vertically and...

    Should I switch to Oxy-Propane?

    I have an 80-cu/ft Oxy-Acetylene torch setup now, and I've been pondering the idea of switching to propane. The cost of acetylene, the hassle of dealing with the LWS to get a tank swapped, acetylene discharge rates, and the special handling requirements for it make me nervous when moving it...

    6-7" angle grinder

    I'm looking for a larger grinder for cutting and grinding....maybe some wire wheel use too. I have about Five 4.5" grinders...but never really looked into the larger ones. But I'm doing some projects here lately that would make it nice to have. Realistically, I would only use it a few times a...

    Spacing between existing garage and a new carport?

    I'm wanting to have standard carport installed as cover for my truck, trailer, skid steer, etc..., and the only place to put it is next to my existing garage (the tree has been removed). The legs of the carport will be either 9 or 10 feet tall...so just as high, or a touch higher than the...

    Chain binders

    I haul a lot of vehicles (trucks), my skid steer & attachments, and here lately, logs. I've always used lever-style binders (boomers), and I've recently picked up a couple ratcheting binders. HF and Northern Tool specials. HF actually had the better quality lever-style binders vs. the other...

    ****** block/pulley for 2" diameter rope?

    Has anyone seen a pulley or ****** block for a 2" diameter rope? My friend and I like to use a rope for directing trees when felling them. Often, the trees need to be redirected, and pulled with a skid steer or truck. I have a project at home coming up where I will need to drop 6-7 large...

    Home Depot ditching more USA tools in favor of China

    I was walking around HD yesterday killing time before dinner, and I noticed a shopping cart filled with Estwing hammers and Buck bros. wood chisels. So I looked at the display area, and they've all been replaced with the Chinese Dewalt brand. :(

    Dry cut chop saw

    I'm looking for a new saw. I currently have the Milwaukee abrasive chop saw (an upgrade from the 4.5" angle grinder), and I'm tired of the dust, the sparks, and the inaccurate cuts. I also want to be able to use it to cut other materials on occasion (PVC, wood...) But I am torn between two...

    What would you pay? THICK welding tables

    I've been wanting to build/buy a welding/fab table for several years now. I either didn't have the money for a new sheet of steel...or couldn't find anything used that I didn't have to completely re-do. But I'm sick of working on a round metal patio table in the driveway :o I found these two...

    Snap-On FL80

    I'm looking for a long-handle 3/8" ratchet. I've never owned a Snap-On tool, so I figured I'd test the waters and see what's out there before I settle on something from Asia. I'm looking for one that is in very good condition (no gouges, initials, or other damage...light scratches and...

    HF guru's - Badlands winch

    Does anyone know if the winches go on sale? One that is not a parking lot sale, or a coupon? The reason I ask, is that the 20/25% off coupons will work on them, but of course, won't stack on other sales/coupons. I'm looking at the 12,000# winch, which has a normal price of $399. For some...

    Air compressor oil?

    I bought a Curtis compressor a few years ago, and I'm just now getting around to hooking it up. I think it's a early/mid-2000's model E35....5HP Baldor, cast-iron 2-stage pump, 60-gal tank. Since it's been sitting a while, and I don't know how the previous owners maintained it, I want to at...

    Castrol 15W-40 Diesel Motor Oil -- Advance Auto Parts

    A friend of mine works at AAP, and confirmed that Castrol 15W-40 is down to $2.** per Gallon! He called another friend of ours and he scooped up 21 gallons of the stuff at less than $3/gal. from a few stores around. I'm located in SW VA, so it may be a regional thing too. Sorry I don't have...

    Heat Shrink

    I'm getting low on my supply, and am wanting to stock up for future projects I have planned. I know most of the electrical sites out there, but I haven't come across any that carry ALL 3 sizes I'm looking for. 1/8", 3/32", and 3/16". The 3/32" isn't 100% necessary, but I'd like to have it...

    Grease gun suggestions

    First off, I haven't really touched a grease gun in a few years now. But, I've got a trailer now that will need some greasing, and I picked up a new-to-me truck that will need some attention. I have a large grease gun, so what I am looking for is a small 3oz gun. Pistol grip, and hopefully...
