Thanks! This is now the girlfriends Valentine's day gift.

A long time ago I picked up an old Fiat air cleaner, I don't even remember why I had it. After having in for years I finally deiced to put it you use as the air filter for my hodge-podge air compressor.

Another Update, I called APEX again last Friday. They had still not processed the shipment of the GearWrench ratchet they offered. I got an email yesterday that they had finally processed it and my ratchet has been shipped. Only took 3 months since I shipped them my Armstrong. In other news. I...

Just an update. The day I posted the original post, I ordered a Wera Zyklop. It came in the mail today, from the UK. That got me wondering where my GearWrench replacement ratchet is at. I was going to post pics of it on this thread and give y'all my opinion on it. But its yet to arrive. I called...

In the last 2 years I've lost 150 LBs. I totally lucked out. I had a nice 3XL Carhartt when I was big, I wore it last year when I went to cut a Christmas trees with my friend. It was like a tent on me. My friend is 3XL, when we got home that evening he went into his closet and pulled out a XL...

Its not a warranty for your lifetime, its the lifetime of the company. It use to be companies out lived people. Not these days.

I'm totally accepting it. That's the other reason I posted. To see what yall thought of the GW alternative.

:thumbup: Thats why I posted. Spread the word to anyone who's looking at these tools. Our purchases are $ votes, cast them wisely.

This is EXACTLY what was going on with the ratchet. I used it once about 4 months after buying it and it locket up. Put it aside and about a week later I tried it with different grease, oil, etc to see if that would help but on closer look it looked like a design flaw. I thought, being a more...

Yeah, I paid 55-60 for it originally. DAMN IT! Good to know for the other Armstrong ratchets I have. I'm not mailing that company anything again.

Bought these last year. Great quality. Sadly the only thing I see worth buying and I bought them last year. Guess I can sleep in on Black Friday. https://www.blackfriday.fm/ad/sears/craftsman-3pc-pry-bar-set-w-strike-cap/479213

Figures! Like most of us I was brought up on Craftsmen, then they started warrantying my Made in USA with Made in "Not the USA" That's when I bought the Armstrong ratchets. Feels like I jumped from one sinking ship to the next.

Its already gone. I mailed APEX the ratchet. They mailed me back the 1/4 drive handle. I didn't think to go back to Amazon because I've had it for a few years. I bought all 3: 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 and the 1/4 just didn't get used til later. When I buy Harbor Freight tools I be sure to use them...

I bought all 3 of the Armstrong Maxx ratchet line about 2 years ago. I love them! But the 1/4 never worked right. It would ratchet 3 or 4 times then the selector would get jammed and the ratcheting would stop. I took it apart and cleaned it and it would do the same thing. The only way to get the...

I had a similar situation after I made my work bench. I put my chest freezer under it on wheels like a drawer, but then had about 4" of space above it. I wanted a single drawer in that space. After some head scratching I noticed a spare shelf from my cabinet was about the size of the drawer I...

My hand tools are all in my took box. But specialty tools are in cases, labeled, and in an over head cabinet. The cabinet came from my neighbor, its from an office remodel, cubicle parts.
