    Why did Snap on cancel the Hard Handle…?

    Why?! Are they dumb. No way they didn’t sell. Now good luck getting certain models. If I would have known they were going to F this up I would have just bought what I wanted. But now the gouge is already out of control. 169.99 from the truck (prior to being canceled) now 300 plus on flea bay. 🤬

    Tools we want to Rest In Peace

    Well, Today my 25’ Stanley Powerlock Tape died. I wish I could truly have documented the amount of projects this tape participated in. Four homes, five states and probably two decades of service. Just thought it would be fun to make a thread where we could give odes to tools that have passed...

    Which Hose Pick Set???

    Ok, a ton of different places have sales starting tomorrow… I am looking at hose picks. I have on the shorter list the Vessel, Koken, PB Swiss, Lisle, Mayhew…others? Am I good with any of these. I think I heard one of these may have a microscopic ball on the tip so it will not puncture the...

    A Chinese Tool you love…

    I really have done nothing but avoid Chinese stuff. Taiwan is acceptable if need be because no one makes it in the USA, Germany, or Japan. Unfortunately, some things you cannot avoid. My case is not some Milwaukee wonder electric tool. It is a Husky 12v inflator. I am pretty sure I got it during...

    *New* Channellock (Wilde) Pry Bars and Tri Lobe Screwdrivers

    Ordered the 3pc set from Home Depot today. Only because they give me a decent discount. Otherwise HJE has the 3 piece set as well. They are a slightly darker blue than the Home Depot photos (HJE has photos of the actual bars). They are just blue Wilde bars with Channellock logos. I like the blue...

    Craftsman is filling out a second shift! (Ft. Worth)

    This bodes well. Hoping to see some new USA craftsman sooner rather than later. Also used to have well over 100 positions listed. Down to 36 total and only about 20 have to do manufacturing or supply chain. https://www.indeed.com/m/jobs?q=stanley black and decker&l=Fort Worth...

    Do I need a 3/4” Wright 6400 ratchet?

    GJ, OK, so I am getting a complete ratchet set together. Debating as to whether 3/4” drive is something I should do. 1/2 drive, USA, 24” ratchets are minimum $180. I can get the Wright 6400 and reduce it to 1/2” if need be for $120. Just trying to decide the upper size limit of my tool set. I’m...

    Malco Eagle Grips

    I just wanted to post up and make sure everyone had noticed that Eagle Grips are out and available on Amazon. HJE said they had an order in but I do not know if they have them yet. Watching the guy crank on them with an allen key in their youtube video got me pumped up. 'Merica! :rocker:
