Humanity's First Talks May Have Been About Tools, Scientists Say "You're doing it wrong," or a series of grunts to that effect, may have been among the first words used in human conversation, according to scientists studying the development of ancient tools. In a study published Tuesday by...

This guy has been trying to sell these Limited Edition boxes for a couple months now. He just dropped the price from $3500 to $1500. I guess he's fed up having the thing around. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/tls/4372955751.html Not a bad deal if you don't mind white. I would have...

I just received the new Summit Racing tool catalog yesterday and they have an entire section of Craftsman Industrial tools that are all Made in the USA. They have ratchets, sockets, wrenches (polished and RP) and so much more. I thought someone had finally come to their senses and gave us our...

I was doing a garage cleanout over the weekend and put all my free Harbor Freight swag in a box. Besides a set of ramps, the only stuff I buy at Harbor Freight are rubber gloves, rags, O-rings, drill bits, nuts and bolts and air tool accessories. Over the past few years, that's amounted to a...

I just sent this message to the kind folks at ToolTopia.com. "Guys, I love shopping at ToolTopia, but you just lost a $136.26 purchase (items MRT1058S and SKT4498) because for the same price, I got free shipping at TheToolWarehouse.net - they only require a $75 purchase for free shipping over...

Last night I had to do some work on my car (see my avatar) and grabbed a rail of Craftsman 1/2" metric 6-point deep sockets and a rail of Armstrong 3/8" metric 6-point deep sockets I recently purchased to see which fit better. On the 9, 12 and 14 mm sockets, the Armstrongs were perfect fits on...

Hello! I've been lurking around for a while, mostly to look at opinions on tools and special deals. I spent a year at an independent garage back in the late 1980's, quit to go to college, and have been working on my own cars and building my tool collection since then. Most of what I own is...
