Good afternoon all, I'm heating my shop with a Roberts Gordon Vantage II radiant tube heater. Currently using a Honeywell "The Round" thermostat with it. Keep it set around 55 degrees and bump it up when I'm up there working. I finally ran fiber to my shop and now have reliable...

Picked up a Schumacher SC1400 wheeled battery charger at my local TSC yesterday. The website showed it at $199 but then indicated that my store had it at a lower price - $99 and it was in stock. Stopped at TSC and grabbed one, price tag said $219. Rang up at $99 and even the sales associate...

Little bit of a different repair out in the shop today. Microwave started arching pretty bad Friday evening. Took of the wave guide cover and it had a small burnt spot. Cleaned everything up and flipped it over. Sparking stopped but microwave was making some strange sounds every few seconds...

Good evening GJ, Latest CL haul, got three sections of 10’ antenna tower in pretty good shape. Actually came out of a local trailer park that is being demolished. Looks like the previous owner may have had several radios. Sections were already down and disassembled when I got there...

Hey guys, Picked up my yellow 44" top yesterday. Had to order it, no one even close stocked it. Guy explained they sell a few 5 drawer carts in yellow but not much in anything bigger. Took just shy of 3 weeks to arrive so I was pleased with that. Picked it up yesterday. Employee...

Good afternoon all, Does anyone have any experience with either of the Dewalt jobsite radios sold at Lowes (DCR018 and DCR025)? My cordless platform is Dewalt so I'd prefer to stick with a radio that I have plenty of batteries for already. I was looking over the reviews at Lowe's...

Good evening to all the GJ folks. About 2 years ago, I picked up a 4’ Kleton rolling ladder. Found it while picking up some items from a warehouse that was closing down. Got it on the cheap and it’s served me well. I’ve since installed pallet racking in the shop 3 levels high so I’ve been on...

Picked up an orange 26" back in late April when they first dropped, used a $249 coupon (good for all 6 colors). For my situation, I have found this to be better than the 5 drawer cart. I've had another $249 coupon in my car and have been considering getting another, maybe yellow. The...

Good afternoon guys, Has anyone come across any information about: 1. If HF will be offering a 72” top chest? 2. How about offering the magnetic accessories (glove holder, paper towel holder, etc...) in all 5 colors? I think the magnetic accessories would be a good seller. I’d...

Good afternoon guys, Trying to improve my wifi signal / coverage in my shop. -25mbps cable internet service from local city internet provider (still coax right now, no fiber optic in my part of the county). -Modem = Motorola Surfboard cable modem, SB5101U, purchased new September 2010...

Ever since I watched the HF "spy" videos from some tool show earlier this year, I couldn't wait to check out their jacks in the new color offerings. Not long after that, I had a wrecker drop a friend's Mustang GT in need of a fuel pump. Car has been lowered and has a body kit on it. I didn't...

Good evening guys, I was finally able to score a Karcher hot water pressure washer on the cheap on CraigsList. Been going through it, getting it all cleaned up, etc. Just had the frame powdercoated and what a difference that made. This unit has a stainless steel wrap around the...

Got my Orange 26” HF box! (PIC HEAVY WARNING) (PIC HEAVY WARNING) Hey guys, I picked up the red 5 drawer tool cart and folding side tray during the HF parking lot sale back in March 18’. This was pretty soon after the blue became available. I went with red for the sole fact that the...

Hey guys, Has anyone actually laid eyes on the 26" or 44" US Generals in the three new colors (orange, yellow, green)? I visited 2 stores during the parking lot sale but didn't actually see any or even find the little price tickets for the new colors. I did ask and the employees...

Good afternoon all, Decided to buy the 2 ton HF cherry picker. Current coupon for $189 beats the regular price plus a 20% coupon. The website is currently showing two item numbers - 69514 and 60388. The first number has a lot more reviews so I'm thinking that may be the older...

Stopped in my local HF with the intention of picking up the 56" top box as I had bought the lower box about 3 years ago. (At that time, I had a coupon to get the lower for $649.) Prior to actually stopping in, I had been scouring the internet for a coupon. The top box is regularly $409...

Good morning guys, Picked up a pallet jack on the cheap from CL. Figured I could definitely use one in the shop. It was advertised that it needed some work. Went and checked it out, nice unit, looked good for it's age - 1996 BT Lifter L2000-U. It would lift fine empty but wouldn't lift...

Good morning guys, thought I'd share this. Picked up a pallet jack on the cheap from CL yesterday. Stopped by Tractor Supply to get some things and thought I'd pick up a quart of jack oil. They were sold out, but it was $7 / qt. There is an AutoZone a few doors down so I walked down to...
