My first socket set, if you can call it that, arrived from my dad when I was probably about 9 or 10 years old, maybe a little earlier. I think it might have been so he could see if I had an interest or just so I could have my own. It had 7 sockets and a spinner, no ratchet, and came in a New...

Hello, I am building a cabinet and the red oak face frame is stained and cleared, and I am working on the doors I started finishing it with an old can of Minwax "223 Colonial Maple" with SKU 2742662230. I ran out halfway through and went to Lowe's for another can. They had "Colonial Maple 223"...

Back story: I saw the Bonney line (flare nut) wrenches in the closeout section at Epstein's and the pictures don't look very good. I emailed them and was told the wrenches were "perfect". SK day came around and I needed one wrench to fill a pieced set of SK line wrenches, so I ordered a new SK...
