Why does it always seem that it’s Tekton where I find this type of nonsense. I am looking for a single 4”, #2 phillips driver in black oxide to complete a set. Tekton has them on closeout and is out of stock through their website but lots of retailers also sell Tekton so I wasn’t worried about...

I decided to give Craftsman one last chance and am regretting that decision. I was born and raised on Craftsman and still have a ton of their tools. I bought one of their Versastack kits which comes with a basic 3/8” ratchet. I pulled the ratchet out of the box, spun it a few times by hand and...

I have a rail of both SAE and metric sockets that I’ve had sitting in the box for at least 15 years. No idea where I got them from and they have no name stamped on them. I was doing a little cleaning yesterday and decided to add those sockets to a truck bag I’m putting together. Grabbed one of...

Was just in Ace Hardware and they have half an aisle with clearance Craftsman tools. Tons of sockets, ratchets, drivers, full sets, hand tools, etc. Had a few Gearwrench items as well. Looks like most were 50% off. This was at the Ace in Ellijay, GA. Full set of Gearwrench screwdrivers was...

Does anybody know if the 40% off sale applies to individual ratchets? Getting ready to head to HF for a few new Icon ratchets and now see that the 40% deal just says sockets or socket sets. Thanks and sorry if this has been beat to death but I can’t find the answer.

I’ve been looking at new socket sets lately and am finding lots of people seemingly in love with the Milwaukee sets. Decided that I would give them a try but paused that effort when I saw that the sockets are made in China. Ratchets are from Taiwan but the rest seem to be Chinese. I don’t...

I was recently given a full set of Par X wrenches. The guy that gave them to me mumbled something about the Snap On man pushing them in the 70’s or 80’s. I couldn’t really hear what he was saying but was very thankful for the gesture. Made in USA and they look pretty nice given their age...

I just purchased a new Metabo chop saw and it comes with a subfence that gets added to the left side of the main backstop fence. Anybody know what the purpose of this subfence is? Never had one on a miter saw before. Thanks in advance.

I got back to my home in SW FL on Sunday to find that my workshop was under 5’ of salt water after hurricane milton. The entire bottom section and a portion of the top section of my tool chest were completely submerged. This is only the 2nd time in 57 years that water came over our seawall...

I have a new 14x30 shed being built and want to finish the floor before loading my stuff back into it. The floor is 3/4” pressure treated plywood and I want to keep the flooring cost reasonable. Is painting this floor with a good quality porch and floor paint a good idea? Would love to do...

Wanted to see if anybody else has ordered from HF in the past few weeks and has had something shipped. I ordered a few items 3 weeks ago and still no shipping confirmation. Sent customer service an email and 3 days later, received a form email saying if my inquiry was regarding shipping to...

I'm having a new 30'x30' concrete block garage built at my place in SW Florida. The builder has asked if I want a drywall ceiling or if I want to keep it open. The roof structure is attic style wood trusses. The cost to add drywall to the ceiling is $1,000. I can't decide if a ceiling makes...

Hello. I’m having a new garage built and have decided on around 900 SF for the size. It’s currently planned for 30’ x 30’. I already have a signed contract for the 900 SF but can change the dimensions if I want as long as I don’t exceed the 900 SF. The garage has an 18’ x 8’ door and a 3’...

Hello, New to the forum and suffering from analysis paralysis. Been looking at pole barns for about 2 years and have finally decided to pull the trigger. Narrowed it down to National Barn and Blitz Builders. Blitz is based in Kentucky and seems to build a nice building. They seem to do a...
