Ok I seemed to have missed this in the past but lucked out today. I was in store earlier and HD was already setting up for the Pro Day tomorrow so some stuff was already out. The Diablo sawzall blades are $1 each. Pretty decent deal. I'll be surprised if they make it till tomorrow. Anybody...

Swag is running their annual Cyber Monday sale today. According to the email it is 15% off and free shipping on most items. I personally own the press brake kit with the "flat top" accessory and it's been pretty awesome. The porta-band table/stand is pretty cool little deal too. John

As seen on their FB page, Mittler Brothers is having 10% off that ends today. I haven't seen too many deals from them so if you are in need of a nice bead roller, brake, etc then today may be the day haha. Code at checkout is: MBHolidays2016 http://www.mittlerbros.com John

Just noticed JD2 is having a 10% off sale through tomorrow for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Tube benders, dies, notchers, etc. good stuff. Http://www.jd2.com John

So I picked up the 35th anniversary Wilton 5 1/2" Tradesman vise from Zoro. Actually it arrived last week. Unfortunately UPS must've had a field day with the box because the vise base wore/tore through both the heavy Wilton box and the outer box Zoro placed it in. Other than some minor worn...

Not exactly "garage" realated but... Curious what you guys (and gals?) have to say about KDAT lumber? I've gotta start a deck rebuild soon and I'm considering the KDAT. I've been very much less-than-impressed with the regular treated lumber used the first time. It hasn't been very...

The 2 packs of Fastback utility knifes are marked down to $10 I noticed today. I purchased one a couple years ago when they first came out and really like it. Had been debating picking up the twin pack for $15 so when I saw them at $10 I caved :). They are in the holiday gift section in a...

Time for a new mower again :(. I had good luck out of the first Toro self propelled push mower I bought at HD. Got about 8 seasons out of it and it was still great after I rebuilt the gearbox and sold it. If not for not being able to wait on parts I should've kept it. So at that time I...

OK question for you pros :-). I'm gonna be finishing the interior of a detached garage for my parents. Typical stick frame construction. Ceiling is built of manufactured 16" I-joist on like 10-12" centers (can't remember at moment). It was built that way to support a room upstairs should the...

Been thinking about picking up a better set of screwdrivers soon. Kind of kicking myself for not getting in on the Craftsman Pro close outs. I see the SK has a nice looking set of cushion grips. Anybody put their hands on these yet and can speak to them? Otherwise maybe Wera? It just...

OK so I finally can quit burning cycles on what my next box will be. I was outgrowing my Craftsman 26" and wanted a larger box. I've been looking for over 2 years and going back and forth about what to do. I had really pretty much decided on the Extreme Tools 56" combo. They are really nice...

So the Snap-on conference started today apparently. In years past there has been a thread detailing some of the special deals they run. Haven't seen one yet so I thought I'd start one :). Anybody got the scoop?

It often seems there are a lot of high dollar used truck brand boxes available for sale. Many appear to be barely used. I've always assumed those were people that got in the biz, then hated it and moved on. It could also be that when you spend a small fortune on a tool box you tend to take...

I was on the CPO website the over the weekend and noticed an ad for this "new" Wilton All Terrain Vise. I couldn't find anymore info on the Wilton website but that could be because it *****. Maybe I can help them out with that ha :). Anyway, this new vise is a pretty slick idea. It is...

One of these days I need to breakdown and get a horizontal bandsaw of some sort. I'd like to save up for a little larger version with coolant capablity. Otherwise, I'd just get one of the popular 4" X 6" versions. Lately the mitering option is attractive as well since I don't have a lot of...

Can anybody suggest software that is affordable or even free that would be sufficient for creating files that a laser/plasma shop can use? My immediate need would be to create a layout to cut out my table top. If that works out, I could see maybe some small jobs in the future. Note this would...

I've got a 1/2" thick piece of sheet that I'm gonna use for a welding table top. I don't have a lot of room so the top will end up at about 50" X 32" or less. I've spoken to a laser cutting shop about trimming the top up with rounded corners. I'm also considering putting one of the "X"...

So here soon I hope to get a new box. I've outgrown the Craftsman and would like to get what will likely be my last box. Really like the KRL722 setup but I'm not sure I can spring for it. Fallback position is gonna be an Extreme Tools box more than likely. Occasionally I see posts leading me...

So for the last few years I've been looking at getting a new compressor to replace my Craftsman oil free setup. It has been a good compressor but just never seemed to handle a cutoff wheel. I would also like to be able to do some light painting and sandblasting. That said, I knew I wanted 60...

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a new box. Looking for a 2 bank in the 56" range. Current contenders are the Extreme Tools 56" and the Gator Built 57". The Gator Built is substantially heavier build, e.g gauge metal, drawer ratings, etc. It is also 5" deeper so it is basically a 24"...
