I'm in the market for a chainsaw and all the chatter is Husky vs. Stihl. I'm a weekend warrior and am looking for a "prosumer" saw, if you will. I looked at the Stihl Farmboss and the Husqvarna Rancher series. I ruled out the Husky since there are no dealers in my immediate area. Then I...

Hi guys, I have a lot of stuff that I'm not using and need the space in my tool box, so here it goes: Prices include shipping, payment by money order or paypal + 3%. Snap-On MG725, BRAND NEW. I bought it in February, 1.5 yrs left on warranty, never used. $400, NOW $350 IMG_0001 by Mark Smith...

What do you guys use for all-purpose heavy-duty scissors and/or shears? I'm usually cutting hose, twine, cardboard, etc...We have a pair of Wiss shears at work, but I want to know what else is out there.:beer:

Hi GJ, I'm shopping for a 3/8" size impact driver or wrench. I'm looking at Makita or any brand you recommend. This tool would be used for automotive primarily, but home project use wouldn't hurt. I noticed that the impact drivers put out about the same torque as impact wrenches. What are...

I have an old 1970s pH/millivolt meter. When used as a millivolt meter, it has a measurement range of +to- 400mV. For an experiment, I'd like to modify the meter to a range of +to- 50mV. Is there a way to do that, for you electronics junkies? I do have a wiring schematic of the meter...

I'm looking for opinions on this Quincy compressor. It is a model 216. What do you guys think it's worth? If I go look at it, what should I check for to make sure it's rebuildable? Thanks. http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/tls/4078913904.html

Hi GJ, I've decided to upgrade my compressor to the biggest mofo possible. I'm a serious D'yer. I want a compressor that'll put out 24 cfm at 90 psi on single phase and have a horizontal tank. My last two compressors have been Campbell Hausfeld and they served me well. I've looked at CH, IR...

Ok, one last "what's it worth" thread for me. What's the going rate on a Matco 6S double bay (56" wide)? MSRP is $8700 according to Matco's website. Rollwaway is 1.5 yrs old. Thanks!

Hi, I picked up this Triangle socket set last summer when it was on the hot deals thread. I have never used this socket set. It was $62.53 shipped to me. I'm not looking for a profit, I just want out of it what I'm into it. $60 NET to me. A couple of pics:

Another "what's it worth" post. How much would you guys offer on a one year old 19 drawer Tech 1000 box? Thanks.

My friend has the Snap-On HL138ACP pliers and I have to admit that they're damn sweet. They can cut just about anything and have the grip almost of locking pliers. For Knipex users, how does the 02 02 180 compare? The one thing I do know is the Knipex are 1" bigger and cost $37 less from...

I'm considering purchasing a Cornwell branded plier set, CPL109. Just to try out the brand. Before I go thru the effort of tracking down a dealer, I would like to know if one of you guys know where they're made. $87.95 seems cheap for a USA made set. Thank you.

Hi GJ, I bought a Mac Tools 1/4", chrome handle fine tooth ratchet back in 1995. It sat broken in my tool box for years until I finally got motivated and warrantied last month from Mac's mail-in service. I was given a comfort handle 1/4" dr ratchet in return. Immediately, I noticed that the...

What would you guys offer for this box? I believe it to be a KRL722. Thank you. http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/tls/2599289422.html

Hi, I'm seeking some advice from the forum. I'm now shopping for an older, 2-3hp, 220V, 30 gallon USA made compressor. They seem to be of stout build and put out the most air for the size. Been poking around CL, and have found intriuging ads on "Charge Pro" and "Rand 4000" compressors, made...

I'm wondering if anyone has used these combination drill/extractor bits and what your opinion is: http://www.tooltopia.com/helicoil-80-450.aspx Thanks

Hi, I've made a few posts here, but I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Mark and I live in the Portland, OR metro area. I'm a serious d'yer mostly in automotive. I've learned a lot of things here and I hope to be able to contribute something from my mediocre knowledge. :)
