I have access to my stepdads tools but I'm borrowing his circular saw enough that I thought I should get my own. I will just use it for diy stuff and a few projects (the biggest being a toy box for my daughter). I went to Home Depot today and they had a rigid and a makita for $99. I was just...

We moved into our current house (renting) after I got accepted to med school. One of the selling features to me was the single car garage/ shed for my tools and projects in the backyard. It's a decent size for me and has a space that's almost as big that is covered but exposed. For 2015 I would...

I'm looking for a good circular saw and was considering the bosch cs-5. This will be my first circular saw and I'm not certain what to look for, but I'd like to stay under $150. Thanks

I'm going to redo my shed as a project over the next few months. I am a renter so it's mostly about making the shed work for my projects not hanging drywall or any major renovation work. The biggest thing I'm missing at the moment is work space. I have various cabinets and shelves but no real...

I have a few items from ridgid like their shop vac and have had great luck with them. I'm looking for: Miter saw Corded jigsaw Corded circular saw Corded router I was just curious on what you guys thought of the quality. I was told they had a life time warranty as well. I'm going cheap for...

I've never used either of these tools because I've never had to. However I'm starting to build my own guitar amps and have been looking at a good router/ router table setup and a decent tablesaw. I would be using the tablesaw to make notches so they fit together like Lincoln logs (jointed)...

I was considering this bench: http://m.globalindustrial.com/m/p/work-benches/open-leg/adjustable-height/96-x-36-shop-top-work-bench-adjustable-height-1-1-2-top?infoParam.campaignId=T9F&gclid=CL39nc-A5L8CFStk7AodQV8AxQ&gclsrc=aw.ds Do you think that would be a good route or should I build one...

Do they fit well? I've read on here that only craftsman extensions fit easy read sockets. Mine are made in USA easy read sockets if that matters. I'm asking because the gearwrench extensions come in nice foam trays for organizing. Also do locking wobble extensions replace the need for...

I need to buy a shop vac and there are so many different models ranging from 30-120$ it's kind of overwhelming. As well it seems everyone from dewalt to rigid has their own branded version. What I need it for: Cleaning the car (toddler makes messes) My shop (dust, lots of saw dust, other...

I would like to hear from bahco owners what they think about their products. I'm considering their dual 80 clones, a set of files and an adjustable wrench. I've searched through several threads but most of the info has been contradictory about the quality particularly when compared to SO...

I've been trying to sign up for different catalogs to be mailed to me but for whatever reason the only one I've received is pbswiss. Should I call and request them instead or is there something I'm missing. I know they have the catalogs online but I'm trying to read these on an ipad and a...

we just moved in to this new house (our first) and half the reason was because I got a nice shed. Welli cleaned some of it out a few days ago and notice a wrench sticking out of an old box filled to the brim with saw dust. So I dug through it to see what I could find. First were these meteor...

I know you guys have some really nice plier collections and I'm going to upgrade from my assortment of Stanley/ kobalt pliers. I'm curious what you guys use them for. I use vise grips and needle nose quite often to get at things I can reach. I also use crimpers & cutters a lot but as I start to...
