I couldn't decide on whether to go with HF's Go-Thru Socket set for working on my '09 Kawasaki Ninja, or Lowes new Xtreme Access set, (pretty much just a spline version of Craftsman' Max Axxess. I ended up ordering the Kobalt set because it comes with more adapters, and you could buy socket...

I have Snap on, but I have $10 to spend on a gift card to Harbor Freight, and pretty much the only thing I want for working on my bike (metric) is some wrenches, for putting around really. So for $8 (after 20%) I found this box set ratchetable wrench set...

To make a long sad story short, today I had a nice find on a Kreauter socket at the local pawn shop, so I decided to give it a nice rinse in the rock tumbler with some stainless steel shot, and hour later, sparkling new like it was freshly chromed. So I remembered my dad recently gave me his...

Today I scored big time, without even trying. And this isn't a Lowes deal you'd find in your clearance section. I was at work (Lowes) and happened to walk by the entrance door to get some fresh air, when a contractor who frequents came in with a bag of stuff to return. I walk over and I'm...

The other day while at work, we took back a piece of top choice 2x4x96" lumber we shouldn't of, so the department manager clearanced me it for .50c. :rocker: Than somebody in flooring cut some nice gray/blue carpet wrong and gave it to me. I decided I'd cut the wood down (an excuse to use a...

I got a Leatherman wave for Christmas and I love it. But today when I went to use it and unfolded the pliers, one side felt jammed in it, and when I got it out, it made a snap noise. And now I don't know of its my imagination or the pliers are loose, but when I have the needle noses closed, and...

Saw this 1/4" ratchet a work today, finish is excellent, has 72 teeth and feels incredibly smooth. http://www.lowes.com/pd_337318-22328-85857_0__?productId=3381176&Ntt=1%2F4%22+ratchet&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3D1%252F4%2522%2Bratchet&facetInfo=#BVRRWidgetID I really loved the feel of...

Looking for tamper resistant torx t8,t10,t15 Nothing in particular, just let me know what you've got.

Throughout the holiday deals and hype (aswell as working for Lowes), I kept seeing numerous ads and post blasting about the Kobalt Multi Fit wrenches. As much as I wanted to buy them just because of the cheap price of $9.98, I held back, because I had this overwhelming concern that even for a...

In the Hot Deals they just posted the multi-fit wrenches are $15 for Metric or SAE, unfortunately I have no use for them in wrenches. And while I wanted to try the sockets, I didn't want to pay $10 for deep ones as they don't come in Metric. I really only have a use for a Metric set, and Sears...

Ive been wanting a Dremel 4000, or 8000, whatever went on sale for the cheapest first, but I saw somebody in my town a few blocks away has a "mint. dremel 4000 up for sale for $60, it has just the case no attachments. I offered to pick it up for $35 if it's truly mint because it has no...

I'm looking to get my first Dremel, cordless sounds nice, I love the idea of lithium ion as opposed to nicad. The other day after going to Sears I walked into the Dremel Stylus, being a hobbyist this automatically jumped out to me as the best possible thing ever, (I'm into light detailing...

Long story short, in the back of my dads garage I found a Weller 240/200 soldering gun. While I'd love to use it it doesn't heat up (is that considered non working?). I bought some new tips for it, and disassembled it, as shown in the photo. I know it's not in the best condition, but I can...

Long story short, my girlfriend is into wire wrapping and making jewelry etc, has her own little workbench with hammers, pliers, the works. (My way of getting her into tools :)) HF until tomorrow, has an ITC coupon for a $40 5" bench grinder on sale for $19.99, the reviews are mixed, but what...

About 2 weeks ago I bought the 29g oiled compressor from HF (Central Pneumatic), spent the past week, getting it set up, buying and returning stop valves, 1/4" piping from specialty stores for my right dual line set up, setting up the lines, (didn't even mount them on the walls yet). And after...

Recently I picked up a new (HF Brand) 29g oiled compressor for my inside shop (before you go all fanboy I paid $99.97 on clearance down from $399.99) Here's my question. How can I make it go from 1/4" coupler single line to dual line? I currently have a quick connect (1/4" uni) with a...

Long story short, I have the option to warranty my HF wrench set with 2 different sets, but can't decide which. My options are: 25 piece Pittsburgh SAE & metric 1/4"'to 1" & 6mm to 19mm with a few missing Pros/Cons : Feel nice (but light), 'raised panels', nice looking open and box end, no...

So recently I thought it'd be an awesome idea to take some 'L' shape black aluminum and riveted some HF socket rails to them, they came fantastic as well as matching and professional looking. Originally I picked up a hand riveter on sale for HF's dollar day sale sale ($4). I ended up breaking it...

Without going into to much detail, I thought I knew a little bit about having a dedicated air compressor, it turns out I don't really know anything, I've tried to research it and I'm getting so confused and I don't even know if I neeed certain accessories etc. Here's some facts about what I...

Recently I picked up a 42" roller cab from HF, and I have all my chrome sockets in the Hansen knockoff trays from HF, and while I love them, I need something to organize all my impacts in the same way. But while I noticed they have the trays, they also have socket 'organizers'. What do you...
