For those that don't know or remember me, I'll fill you in. I'm a die hard Proto and Miwaukee guy and there's little chance that any of that long held loyolity will change, but it could. We all really believe Wright grip to de the best overall wrench design available. Dewalt became 2nd card...

Anybody seen the new Bosch Reaxx table saw? It's got the blade stop technology similar to Sawstop, but without the expensive part replacement and ******* inventor. If you trigger it, it can be reset in 60 seconds with only a small cartridge replacement. No idea what the cartridge cost will be...

With all the talk about the new HF Pro rats, nobody seemed to notice Tekton has their own version, and it's one you can't get at HF. At least not at either of the two near me. I like spark plug rats, but you don't see a whole lot of them anymore. It doesn't seem like you do anyway. Kudos to...

The HF Black Friday Ad is out. Nothing great IMO, but here it is: HF Black Friday 2014

Proto J150WP Giveaway - WINNER ANNOUNCED! As some of you know, I'm an Editor over @ Toolsinaction.com, I am also a Proto junkie. Over the last year or so we've had several impact threads in which Proto's 1/2" J150WP became a topic of discussion. I've been using this gun since it came out last...

A couple years ago Exceller8 sent me some Proto items, among which was on of those J100 keyring screwdrivers. I got hooked on the little things and learned there were many different examples, so I had to have them all :sad: They had been out of production since 2002, but Proto is getting ready...

Thought I would share an article I wrote that you guys might enjoy. It basically takes the 1964 Craftsman catalogs and compares them to the same items today. The article mostly focuses on how prices have faired versus inflation. It's not a review, just something I did for fun. Check it out and...

One of our readers over at TIA shared a couple of pretty awesome Milwaukee items from across the pond which none of the American blogs have reported yet. The first and most intriguing, is an M12 4 in 1 Drill/Driver. It's a detachable head driver system similar to the Festool CXS...

Disclaimer: This thread is not intended to be a Craftsman bashing thread. It is a legitimate question of honest curiosity. If you wish to discuss the ridiculous decline in Craftsman quality, nominate Sear's as the Anti-Christ, blame labor unions for all of America's problems, or curse the ******...

Anybody have any coupon codes for Lucas Oil online orders?

Yesterday my dad's neighbor and I changed out the bearings on his trailer. Conductor Jr. Was helping and somehow lost his pin punch. He wasn't worried about it, but I was at the mall today and took Conductor Jr. to Sears to get a replacement and teach him that when you lose or break someone's...

Looking for a replacement handle for these bolt cutters. I'm not having much luck tracking down an email address. I'm not sure what type of warranty they had originally, but the are the older USA made version. Any ideas of a part source?

I recently bought a new house and since the previous owner decided to paint all the outlets and switches the same funky *** colors as the walls (4 rooms were pink), I have to replace them all. I have 2 questions: 1. Is there any real advantage to the push in installation as opposed to loops...

Does anyone have any Plomb/Proto catalogs in PDF format they'd be willing to email me a copy of? I'm more interested in Proto era, but I would be grateful for anything.
