I was looking for some new plastic storage boxes to build my future storage around and saw a great price on these Dewalt 20 compartment organizers. I’ve had one of their 10 compartment organizers like these that survived my work truck for three years. These are $22.98 each or $31.94 for a pair...

I’m going through my dad’s toolboxes and pulled out a few made in USA craftsman ratchets. I’m trying to figure out if any of these are worth selling or if I just donate them to people I know. I’m not looking to set the world on fire selling these. When I search the numbers on eBay most of...

I installed ~700 ft2 of free flow tiles in my garage yesterday. I’m very pleased with the product and the results. I ended up centering the stripes on the garage door openings rather than starting off on one wall, resulting in more cuts for both sides but really not any more tiles. I did...

I know this isn’t a tool, but many of us are browsing GJ on a computer monitor. I‘ve purchased four of these monitors for myself and immediate family in 2020-2021, all of them for $400 or more. Prices have come down a bit, these can be had for around $350 normally now, but $260 seems like a...

I’ve been looking for some new metal fab gear for my new garage/shop. My local welding supply shop carries Miller and ESAB and I saw the Firepower FP-200 on their showroom floor. I spoke to the guy and he said these are both standard ESAB machines that were private labeled for another company...

The wife and I closed on our new to us home yesterday, and I finally got a shop to play in! The previous owner had it setup as a wood shop with all the toys, unsurprisingly he took all that stuff with him. He did leave the benches and cabinets. The structure squares out to 34’ wide by 44’...

I’m looking for one or more Fenix PD25 nylon holsters. I use these daily but the velcro on my Wilderness Tactical belt chews up the side of them to the point where my light falls out. I’m hoping someone else uses the light in a pocket and has the holster collecting dust in a drawer. I’ll...

I need to compound/polish/wax my boat this month. I purchased a Milwaukee 7” polisher tool only last fall for this task (and others). It seems like 7” is an outlier on sizing for polishers of this type, with most being in the 5.5” to 6.5” size. Milwaukee makes a $20 wool pad and a $15 yellow...

I’m looking to purchase a pallet of 6.4 ounce bottles of 2 cycle oil for the company I work for. We run lots of Stihl tools and use about 25 cases of 2 cycle oil per season. In the past we purchased the Stihl full synthetic oil and have had good results. I was looking at purchasing more of...

I recently moved into my family’s summer home in Massachusetts and have discovered some issues that require cleanup. I just trapped two flying squirrels in one section of the attic, they had been there for a long time and made a significant mess. There is what looks to be green mold growing on...

I need to buy a jobsite storage box. I have an older Knaack 60 box and an older Jobox 48” and it’s time for another. It appears the main difference between the expensive brands and the Rigid/Husky at Home Depot is that the skids are 7 gauge on the expensive and 12 gauge on the budget. The...

I was looking for a filler item at Jegs to get free shipping on an engine stand and ended up ordering a set of Sunex Flare Nut wrenches, part number 9809a, cost was $34. I also do need a set of flare nut wrenches for my travel toolbox where I’m helping a buddy build a factory 5 car. The Amazon...

Post up Cyber Monday deals here. Acme 15% off $99+ with some exceptions, looks like already discounted promos are out.

This is one of my favorite tools in the drawer, enough so that I just ordered a second one. I’ve had my old GV5000 for almost 20 years and it hasn’t missed a beat. I use it extensively for metal work, it’s a little finer than an angle grinder but does a great job cleaning up edges. When I...

I have been commuting with one of these fridges for 2.5 years now and don’t know how I could function without it. They just released a new model, so the old ones just dropped $200+ on Amazon. For perspective, the 37 quart fits in the trunk of my Passat, the lid pulls off to the front so it...

I need a 1/2” socket set. This set is made in Taiwan, anybody have an opinion? https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_7740131 Tekton is about double the price.

Not the biggest percentage off, but Summit Racing with a $21 coupon off $200+ with code “Always” was the cheapest place I found to buy a complete set of Wrightgrip SAE wrenches #915. It got the set down to $204.99, so 27% cheaper than Zoro and cheaper than anywhere else I found...

My good friend and mentor just received his Factory 5 car. I am going to be helping him quite a bit on this project and will want to put together a decent tool set of my own to keep at his shop for the duration of the project. He will be farming out the body work/paint, we’ll be focused on all...

I was shopping for a 2 ton engine hoist and ran across a 25% off sale at Pep Boys. $172.49 is cheaper than buying at Harbor Freight ($179 with coupon), I was also able to get back $10.35 from ebates. https://www.pepboys.com/big-red-2-ton-folding-engine-hoist/product/9232417?quantity=1 Other...
