    What would be a good corded to buy

    Used Milwaukee Magnum 3/8 or 1/2. I bought a new 3/8 years ago and a used 1/2 for $5 at a yard sale about 10 years ago. They'll break your wrist if you're not careful.

    New floor jack

    I bought the yellow HF Daytona last November before Thanksgiving. It was on sale for $179. It is a beast - heavy, large, stable and it works very well. I thought my old Cman jack was heavy duty but the Daytona is bigger and heavier - to me size and weight aid stability when jacking up my...

    Why is the Ryobi 18V cordless ratchet only sold in Australia?

    I just went online to HD and it seems maybe that the ratchet may have been removed from the promotion since I bought it. In the Hot Deals section thread for this deal, JerryC in post #27 said he couldn't get the tool he wanted to ring up with the battery deal for $99 online but it went through...

    Why is the Ryobi 18V cordless ratchet only sold in Australia?

    Sorry, I just saw your post. I have a HD a few blocks from my home. I went there after I saw the deal listed earlier in this thread. After I scanned the battery and the ratchet, they rang up at $99.00 total at the self-checkout for me. I would think it should do it online also but your...

    Why is the Ryobi 18V cordless ratchet only sold in Australia?

    Just picked it up. Got it with the two battery and charger deal. Buy the batteries and charger - get a free tool. Yes it's large but it should make my life a little easier.

    Looking for entire set of mechanics tools

    That's a good start. I would change from a 1/2 set to deep 1/2 impacts with a used SK 1/2 ratchet from Ebay and a Harbor Freight 1/2 breaker bar. Add used Snap On flare wrenches from Ebay - a few years ago, I pieced together SAE and metric over a few months for around $150 as I recollect...

    Case Ideas for Skill Worm Drive

    Sometimes it pays to revive old threads. Good idea but bad for my wallet. Now I have to get one for mine that I've been storing in a soft bag. Oh well, it's only money. :beer:

    DIYer automotive tool brand/quality?

    Just a few suggestions - 1. Flare wrenches - piece together a Snap On set from Ebay. Over the course of a few months, I put together both a metric and SAE set for about $150. They are used and don't all match in style (SO changed up the looks over the years). But they work just fine. 2. For...

    Flare end wrenches

    Since you're not in a rush, go on Ebay and get a used Snap On wrench. About three years ago or so, I pieced together a set of SAE and Metric SO wrenches from Ebay over the course of a some months. Just had to take my time and not buy the first wrench I saw that looked good. Total invested...

    Eppys in New York

    I've been meaning to get to Eppy's for a while now and I have one right here in New Jersey. I'm getting too lazy. Good to hear they did right by you. Cool t-shirt by the way. :beer:

    Air Compressor for DIY Use

    If you're going to get an air compressor, go with at least a 30 gallon oiled air compressor. It's large enough to run an impact, ratchet and blow gun plus a tire inflator. Oiled are much quieter than oil less compressors. I currently have a 60 gallon oil less and it is loud but it gets the...

    Looking for a good mechanic's creeper

    I have a Lisle. Been using it for about 4 years in my DIY life and it holds my 265lb. body up just fine. Bonester and Whiteside get good reviews here on GJ. :beer:

    S-K quality

    I bought the 1/4 and 3/8 sets in the green cases along with the flex 1/2 and 1/4 ratchets a few years ago - no qc problems or chrome problems. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them. :beer:
