Anyone Know what these security screws are called? Some sort of tapered, three-notched security screw. Looking for a bit because they are about 3 inches long and taking them out with a hammer and punch takes a while...

After several weeks of looking, I found some 3-in-1 oil at Tractor Supply. What the hell? Everyone and their uncle is out of stock on this.

My name is Al. I am an addict. I can't get enough Harbor Freight. I haven't been to a Harbor Freight for three days now, and it's a struggle. I lie awake at night, thinking of that SMELL. You know the one, burnt rubber and B.O. I miss the place, but with your support, and the grace of God, I...

Well, we got a thread on who is a tool polisher... So, why not one on Tool Polish???:bounce: I don't think I have one wrench, ratchet, or socket without battle scars. How do I get them to shine again? It's Friday night, I've got beer and an internet connection....:lol_hitti

Funny Line on Sears Site: "Since nuts and bolts are made in more than 30 standard or metric sizes, having a large set of ratchet sockets will ensure you've got the tool for each turn. Affordable sets from SK Tools and Wright Tool are useful for occasional repairs at home or in the garage. A...

Brockport NY has recently gotten a Harbor Freight. I went in to see how it looked in a small-town, semi-rural location. CLEAN!!! Never seen a clean Harbor Freight before. It was neat and orderly. Well-lit with clean, shiny floors. STILL has that burnt-rubber Harbor Freight smell though. :evil...

I was at Harbor Freight today and noticed they have changed their ratchets again. For the last few years they have been selling the "Taiwan Ratchet". You know, the quick-release 72 tooth one everybody and their uncle sources from William Co.. All the loose stock has been replaced with a Chinese...

I have many of both, wondering if anyone has a favorite type and why.

Curious if anyone had tried it, as Bedliner or Plasti-dip seem to be the surface finish fad choices lately.

I was going thru a box of tools a friend gave me. One thing caught my eye. A 1/2 inch drive ratchet that could double as a ping-pong paddle. Could it be??? A Big Dawg??? Pulled it out and looked it over. Made in China. Pretty funny. WHY on god's green earth anyone would make a knockoff of...

So, about a week or so ago I was commenting on another thread about how I had a 1/4" Harbor Freight socket set that was holding up and working great and had remained un-lost for about 12 years. Appears I jinxed myself. Set went on vacation without me. So, I went to Lowes to get a set. I got the...

I went to the Despot to get a cheap 1/2" ratchet for my work tools. Stretched the round-head I had out of round pulling bumperboards using a 3' pipe on the handle.... Ratchet wouldn't ratchet anymore:lol: Yeah, I know, use a breaker bar. But...broke that a few days earlier the same way. :evil...

Found this site poking around awhile back while trying to track down a source for some funny knock-off wrenches one of my workers got. Brand name "Snap-Off". I've got friends who are tool snobs, and this just hit my funny bone. My brother worked for a tool distributor for years as well, and I...
