I know this topic has been discussed to death but my favorite end of the USA made X-frames is the open end. The ratcheting end feels gritty to me. When you get a snug fit on the open end I have sheared a bolt without damaging the head of the bolt. Just my worthless 2 cents. I should add these...

Tractor supply has USA made short sleeve coveralls. I have not gotten any coveralls so I can't speak to their quality. I have worn the Canadian made version and I liked them very much!

Does anyone use an Estwing sledgehammer? If yes, what size? I currently use a maul driver with a wide face on it - not Estwing brand. I didn't know Estwing made sledgehammers until a couple of minutes ago I went on the Lowes website to do research on estwing claw hammers.

Anyone see any interesting tool trucks recently? Mostly what rolls through my neighborhood is Snap on and Matco. On July 5, 2023 I was able to get on a small but friendly Cornwell truck @ the VW dealership in Charlottesville,VA. I don't even remember if he had a rolling toolbox on his truck. His...

I bought 2"X7" onion hoe made by Forest Hill in Lancaster County,PA. $24 before tax. The retailer was Bird In Hand Farm supply. Bird In Hand Farm Supply had plenty of other Forest Hill products in stock as well.

Clay Koons said if you have a good pair of bolt cutters you never have to work another day in your life. Anyone else have some tool-related quotes?

I don't see Capri bolt cutters discussed much on garage journal. I know Capri ratchets have a following. $39.99 @ the Southern states farm store in Luray for a Capri mini bolt cutter. I couldn't find the COO. Maybe it's Taiwan?

What do y'all use for ironworker pliers? They're heavier duty than regular linesman pliers and they have a hook bend in the one handle. What I am really craving is something that cuts wire easily. My knipex linesman plier wire cutters is getting a bit dull.
