I have the Bauer combo pack of 20v tools. It didn't come with a reciprocating saw. I needed one to remove some overgrown shrubs near some steps I needed to rebuild for my friend's house. I opted to pay the extra $15 to get the brushless Bauer reciprocating saw. $65. This thing is a beast. I...

A friend had me over today at a house he just bought: a fixer upper he will live in with his gf. My tools are not organized, but I quickly put together a set in a tool bag. Main thing was the attic access panel trim pieces were hanging down with nails sticking out. One side still attached to...

Stepson needed blinds installed, so I took over my bag of power tools. I had forgotten that my small Dewalt bit case was in another bag. So he and I went to HF and I bought a Warrior branded drilling and driving bit set for $15. I looked for Bauer or Hercules sets but there were none. I...

Totally unscientific since I haven't actually used them on projects yet. The longer one, Starket, was $7 and the Lufkin/Crescent was the cheapest at $4. Other two were $6 each. All on Amazon. The Lufkin feels better made than the others and has the most fasteners holding it together. Also the...

A couple of years ago a friend's son had just graduated from tech school with an auto mechanics certificate. He was on the fence about what job to take. I pointed him to a local dealer group that offers a tool allowance of $750/year for HF, Snap On, or Matco (your choice). $750 is given up front...

I had a super coupon for $25 that was good til 1-20 (can find online). I've been looking to get another brand of power tool, since I gave my few Makita ones to a good friend to borrow to get back on his feet. I looked on the coupon expecting it to preclude use for combo packs, but it did not...

I needed a 1/4 inch drive 10mm deep socket and only had shallow in my portable box (30 miles away from home). I went to HF 3 miles away from the relative's house. They had a Quinn set -- metric 1/4 5mm to 14mm for $11.99. And Pittsburgh Pro -- metric 1/4 5mm to 14mm for $9.99. I went with the...

We were out of town and at my GF's son's for turkey day. His passenger side front window was broken (busted by a dirtbag to steal $2 in change). He had ordered the window but couldn't afford to have it put in and he's pretty clueless mechanically speaking. I didn't bring any tools, as I didn't...

Brand new and never used, but it doesn't have a charger/battery. Has manual too. These are $100 new for the tool only. $40 480 cfm, 160 mph Pickup up in 44446.

I am glad I found my little Pittsburgh Pro 1/4 swivel head ratchet ($15 at HF). I probably made $500 off this ratchet for various repairs for people -- cars, HVAC, general repairs. Plus countless projects for my relatives, friends and myself. The new version looks different. It may not be as...

The diesel manuals are in excellent shape -- a little yellowing on one (general diesel one). $15 shipped for diesel manuals.

SOLD -- SOLD This appears to be from the 1980s I believe. USA made neat little chainsaw. Bar is about 20 inches. I'll measure it later. Hasn't been started ever. Has great compression, original manual, bar tightening tool and chain. Also original box. $100 obo local pickup in zip 44446 or nearby

I went over to install a ceiling fan for a disabled friend. Her live-in boyfriend has very very limited skills. He put a fan up a few years ago, but he must not have read the directions, as he left off the motor housing and another bracket where the globe screws into. And some of the blades had...

In excellent shape. Just cover shipping $4 to USA addresses. Or free local pickup.

Used but in nice shape -- complete set with both extensions. $25 free local pickup in 44446 or $25 plus exact s/h to your door.

I saw this on FB marketplace for $90 and snapped it up today. It's pretty nasty dirty but in pretty good shape. I am hoping a good cleaning will make it look nicer. It was advertised as a 2 drawer cart, but it may actually be a 1 drawer. The top part flips up creating a larger space. It feels...

I went to HF today for some tarps and flashlights. I saw this box of Quinn Mechanic's Tools (428 pieces) on the socket aisle. I like how it comes with ratcheting wrenches. For $399, that's not bad at all. It gets great reviews. This'd probably be perfect for techs just starting out, and they...

The Homelite 2 stroke weedwhacker I bought new 5 years ago was dying when I tried to take the choke off, so I ran it on choke for a couple of years then I left it at a friend's house (in their barn) after weed whacking for them last year. Then I picked up a nice Troy-Bilt one that runs way...

My friend bought a fish camp next to a lake near here (well, 20 miles away). It came with a trailer and a small cabin. The door to the cabin wouldn't shut, so he couldn't lock it. Guy he bought it off of said it was like that for years. He just closed it as much as it'd go, which is like 4...

Leaves ya scratching your head. I picked up some French doors for a friend. $30 on CL, and he only has 2 sedans so no way to fetch. I brought them over today, and he thought they didn't look 48 inches wide like they were advertised. We were in the garage, and I said where's your tape measure...
