Hi all, Everyone here seems to like McMaster Carr for their fastener needs, but how are their shipping charges? I was looking at some metric bolts, and their price and package quantities are very appealing. Created an account, went through the motions, and they do not disclose shipping charges...

Received a set of Drillhog bits today, they look nice, and have a "lifetime warranty". Instructions to register warranty are to go to their website, enter name, email, and serial number of the kit. I hit the register button, and.... nothing. There is no contact info on their website or the...

Picked up the above ratchet, I got it for decent money, and I didn't have a compact 1/2". Only issue is that it rattles like hell. I opened it up, and it does have a 20-tooth gear, but it looks newer than the rest of the rat. It fits nicely down inside the head, the bushing is there under the...

Hey all, My NAPA sales rep dropped off a tool flyer today, they are doing a "BIG Sales event", and I noticed Carlyle ratchets on sale... I know a bunch of you like these, so here's the rundown: P100 soft handle swivel ratchet $22.99, $26.99, and $32.99 (1/4-3/8-1/2) 1/2" quick release long...

I was just on Amazon reviewing my recent tool purchases when I decided to search the phrase "tools I don't really need".... just to see what came up apparently this is more common than I thought! Now I'm just waiting for the stuff I really DID order, that I don't really need!

Has anyone seen the saw blades for the mini air saws in an extended length? Looking for something like the astro pneumatic 5SAWR blades, but probably twice the length? Yes, I already know I could use a hacksaw blade in a pinch, or that I should be using a Sawzall instead of a mini air saw, etc...

MAC and Snap-on ratchets ALL SOLD Thanks for those who purchased one or more ratchets! TomD

OK, as much as it pains me to say it, I found a couple of things at HF that I actually LIKE, rather just tolerate.... One of the techs at my dealership picked up the Braun 63958 LED work light, and I was fairly impressed at the brightness and construction. I waited for it to go on sale, and...

Hi all, looking for a few of these Dayton wrenches to fill out sets. Need a 3/4" of the "CHGO 48" with V-notch open end style. Need 3/8", 11/16", 3/4", 13/16", 7/8", and 15/16" of the Thorsen "MFD USA" style. Need 3/4", 13/16", and 15/16" of the Thorsen "streamline" style, as well as any...

OK, here's my sitch.... I'm a parts manager at a dealership, and I have a *mild* Snap-on addiction. My tool guy shows me the S-O cordless stuff regularly, and I like the concept, but I will NOT spend that kind of money for my cordless toys. HOWever, I see my techs using battery-op ratchets under...

Looking for this breaker bar to fill out my 1/2 drive kit. Pearl blue would be my top choice, but whatevs.... Whatcha got, folks?

Interested in DAYTON tools, both "MFD USA" and "CHGO 48" stampings... ratchets, sockets, other drive tools, and wrenches. Good used condition. Also any literature/catalog information. Thanks! TomD

Have been looking at some JD chrome sockets online, but it looks like over the years, these tools' stampings vary between JOHN DEERE USA to JOHN DEERE to JOHN DEERE TAIWAN. Anyone have reliable intel about COO on the JOHN DEERE only stampings? (The ones I have seen have the John Deere name...

Have been looking at various new and vintage whitworth/british standard socket sets on the net, and I have noticed that most of the 3/8 and 1/2 drive sets out there have a lot of overlap between them. Is this pretty common for these socket sizes? Are the larger 1/2 drive sockets really that...
