Seems Griz has a bunch of machines on sale & with free shipping til 6/22. Trying to talk myself out of buying another machine that I really don't need but can't live without. https://www.grizzly.com/promotions/2026/summer-sale

I have a powermatic model 26 shaper and it works well with a router but collet. But I'm thinking of getting a Grizzly G1035 or a Jet Jws22cs shaper to use as a router table, bonus i can use it as a second shaper. Kills me i had a jet and sold it, but never used it as a router table. I get...

Not sure if they're really the best ever, but these ratchet straps from Powertye are really well made. I ordered 2 and a soon as I picked up the box I knew they would be good. Made in the USA and it shows, full 180 bends on the hooks, thick steel parts and nice heavy web straps. Can't wait...

First and foremost this machine has saved hours at leaf and yard cleaning, would buy again in a minute. I did however have some issues that in hindsight could be prevented. I bought the pro 321, dual wheel cart rated for 800lbs. Bought in 22 the cart and cover just made it through 25 seasons...

So I have a pile of rough saw 1 x 6 x 12, have a concrete pad & thinking why not build a shed, had one there years ago. I'm thinking since the house has dutch lap vinyl why not mill some rough sawn into dutch lap? The shed would be 12 x 14 & I have plenty of material, now the question, what's...

I had originally bought a bauer bandfile on clearence from hf, works great, no issues. Always preferring to go cordless i bought the dewalt 20v, works great but a little bulky, same as the Bauer. Not a tool i use much but when I saw the milwaukee at HD today I knew it was the winner. Nice...

Always looking for good deals this powermatic 8" jointer pops up, 100$. Has to be a scam, message the guy he responds instantly, good sign. I ask what's wrong? Does it work? Yes but needs to be adjusted and has new knives. I question the 100$ and he says that's correct, OK I'll take it. Can I...

Going down the planer rabbit hole, I have a dewalt DW735X which does a decent job but would like something a little bigger. Right now Grizzly is offering free shipping which is like 10% off so it sweetens the deal a little. Going from straight blades to a helical cutter head should be a big...

I had a 3/8 Husky rotary ratchet that I rarely used, but does come in handy. I would say the battery ratchets kinda replaced these, but I feel when working with aluminum and plastic a manual ratchet is safer. Found these on Amazon Germany and took 4 weeks with the customs slowdown and now I...

Having a couple mag drills with lots of cutters I decided to pick up an mt3 weldon adapter for my drill press to see how it worked. So far I really like it, for 7/16" & larger holes it drills faster than twist bits with less effort, plus you drill at the same speed, 450rpm for any size cutter...

Anyone have one of these 7 1/4" metal chop saws? I just ordered one as I like the portability & 7 1/4" blade size. I don't like that it uses a 20mm arbor so there really aren't any 6 or 7" abrasive blades that will fit without an adapter. I think this can be reall handy for smaller work that...

So the few Icon tools I have I like, especially the digital torque wrench. But I'm surprised there is no adjustable wrench, really don't care for the pittsburgh or doyle. I need to buy some for work & thought I would get some Icon ones, nope not made, I guess I'll be shopping some NOS.

No matter how many tools or equipment i have I find myself still going for an adjustable or angle grinder. I'm making a spare tire carrier for a utility trailer and I'm cutting the pieces with an angle grinder. I have a mitering bandsaw 5' away? Going to bolt something up, two adjustable...

I'm thinking of odering this Grizzly knife grinder, on sale with free shipping. I have a few grizzly machines & overall am happy with them for the price point. I know there were issues with the older version of this but supposedly they have been corrected. Anyone buy one? I like the small foot...

We go through alot of portable bandsaw blades, i think I've tried them all. So far mMorse seems to hold up the best, none of the guys want any other brand. Tried to like the milwaukee blades but the quality is hit and miss. Lennox is a close second to Morse, did want to try the harbor freight...

I hate getting tires done, seems that most shops don't have their best guy doing tires. I bring the wheels already off the vehicle to help minimize the damage, it's always something. Looking at the usual machines,ebay,Amazon all look similar. Has anyone bought one? What's the good the bad? Also...

So I picked up a pair of Milwaukee made in USA 8" needle noise pliers at home depot, 34$. Same pair of channellocks and Kleins were 10$ less, so are the milwaukee pliers better? They look well made, just at a higher price point. I love to buy usa made whenever I can and will probably get a few...

Having been an early adapter of track saws I thought I would never use an edge guide again. I went from a corded to cordless track saw for portability but it's just so easy to keep and use some masonite edge guides. I guess it's kinda like pneumatic vs battery on a smaller scale, l love the...

Just picked up this dewalt dual charger/ carry case. My first impression is what a great idea, dedicated battery charging and storage. Charges two batteries simultaneously and holds almost a dozen packs plus it works with all tough system cases. Too bad milwaukee doesn't make one.

Looked at the ne DW modular workstation in HD today, nice concept but I think it's way overpriced. I love modular but at 1200$ just couldn't square it. If it was around 500$ maybe...
