Hey guys, I need a rebuild kit for a snapon ratchet, but free shipping starts at $250, so are there any must have / rare to find on the secondary market tools I should add to get free shipping? For context, I typicially buy snapon from ebay for a decent discount either new or lightly used...

Hey guys, what's the thoughts on chainsaw chain sharpening? I've used the files for touchups, and used the Dremel chainsaw grinding stones in a M12 rotary tool. But, never felt like I achieved like new results. I see bench style sharpeners from $75 - 500ish. At $35ish per new chain, its got...

Has anyone tried the Ryobi 40v battery powered post hole digger? I've got an old gas powered Earthquake unit I've probably had 15 years, but it has the typical rarely used old gas equipment issues. I'm getting tired of having to mess with it to get it to run whenever I need a post hole dug. The...

How widespread is Festool ownership / use? Obviously they have some great tools, and I own several, but how many people are actually using them? According to Youtube / Fine Woodworking / Fine Homebuilding you would think that "everyone" has them. But, its just recently that I talked my cabinet...

I know this forum leans to the mechanic side, but I know some of you are talented on the woodworking side as well. I grew up watching The New Yankee Workshop, and in retrospect, Norm Abrams was probably my mentor as much as anyone. In those days, I longed for his shop, and similar machines...

I've got a couple of machine tools that have been in deep (less than ideal) storage, plus I'm acquiring some new (to me) grungy machines soon, and so I was wondering what the best cleaner for the job is? A combination of dirt / grime, rust, oil, and grease.... Last time I did a similar job, I...

I've been looking for a long (18" or longer) 3/8" impact extension. Does such an item even exist, at least for a reasonable price? I think I found a Snap-On version for $80, but I'd love to keep it under $40 if possible. This is a low torque application, I just need the length for access...

Once again, Amazon is offering $25 off a lot of Bosch tool purchases over $100. Note: discount will not apply until the final step of checkout, but there should be a banner on the product page that telling you that that product is eligible for the discount, if applicable...

Last week I ordered the Hein Werner 6 ton jack stands form Tooltopia because I wanted a set of USA made jack stands. Last night when I received the jack stands, I was appalled to see they are no longer US made, but instead, assembled in the US from domestic and imported components :puke: Link...

Amazon is running a Bosch special; $20 off most Bosch power tools, and storage solutions over $100. A good time to buy some more LBOXXs :thumbup: Expires 06/22/14...

Looks like Home Depot is getting rid of the Husky USA Professional line of screwdrivers :( I really liked them, especially at the price point, looks like its time to by some extras..... However, the $20 6 piece USA set, is getting replaced by a 10 piece Taiwan set, for the same $20, so at least...

I've been interested in blacksmithing for years, and recently I've been inspired be the DogHouseForge. So, I'm going to try my hand at blacksmithing, and use this thread to document the journey. First order of business was acquiring an Anvil. A friend had an old one in storage, so I was off on...

I'm in the middle of a garage makeover, and have been adding a lot of much needed storage, mostly the 6' pallet rack style shelves Home Depot sells for $200 each, and large plastic totes. All told, just for the shelf space, and the box, I'm spending about $25 to store whatever is in in each box...

Home Depot has most Husky brand garden tools, ie, shovels, hoes, rakes, etc. 50% or more off. If I recall correctly, they are mostly manufactured by Ames. Assembled in US with US and foreign components.... I picked up a 70 inch digging bar, regularly $32 for $7.00 :drool: As Always, YMMV

I bought this "Matco" tool cart off Craigslist last summer, not super impressed by it. But, I figured since it looked older, maybe that was why.... Then, I ran across this box, different brand, that looks identical. Less the Matco decals. So, do I have an old Matco box that other companies...
