    I picked that set up a few years back. Zero complaints. It was a great deal.

    $1400 Breaker Bar?

    Doesn't surprise me in the least that they used what they had to try and solve the problem. But I'd never be that upset over seeing someone misuse a tool. I've been frustrated before, but that's only because someone didn't listen when I told them the correct way to do something. Even then...if...

    CRSinMich has been my "dealer" for quite some time lol. I can't thank him enough for all of the help and encouragement.

    Huge haul from this Wednesday. Picked these up from CRSinMich. Thank you for the awesome deal, sir! A Stanley no6 and no3, a matched pair of hollow and round molding planes, two transitional smoothing planes, a matched pair of tongue and groove planes, three saws (the Gents saw isn't pictured)...

    Woodworking 101--Tools and Tips

    I made sure the have them grip the saw handle with both hands. I didn't want their fingers anywhere near the blade. That was a fear of mine, as well.

    Woodworking 101--Tools and Tips

    One thing to add....I was teaching them how to mark out each piece and saw some scraps using my Ryoba.

    Woodworking 101--Tools and Tips

    A quick and dirty project this morning. A birdhouse using a single fence picket and a hinge. Was intending to have my two boys help me finish it once the pieces were cut, but that didn't happen, unfortunately lol. Low cost and rather easy (29 bucks for two pickets, the dowel, two hinges, and a...

    Tools of Japan

    My first Vessel screwdriver. Been wanting one for awhile, and I got this as a Christmas gift. I love it, so far.

    Gotta add the VIM bit ratchet. This is from my inlaws as well. It came in later than the others and they brought it with them today.

    Couple of new items for Christmas. The glove box holder, paper towel holder, and the Vessel ratcheting screwdriver were from my inlaws, and my wife got me a digital tire pressure gauge.

    Is going brushless worth it?

    My situation was driven by a bit of necessity, a bit of convenience, and a bit of good timing. I bought a Ridgid brushless set last summer to replace an older (but still serviceable) Ryobi set. For around $500 bucks I ended up with 6 brushless tools, four high output batteries (a 2ah and three...

    Is the Best Diaper Bag a Tool Bag?

    My wife found a Vera Bradley diaper bag at the local outlet mall on a deep sale (we've done that twice...once for each child). The second has lasted a couple years (and we've punished it lol). As they get older, the backpack and pad will be PLENTY. Make sure you have a small first aid kit...I...

    Picked up a cheap heat gun and a 6 ton bottle jack (not pictured) off of Amazon. I'll keep the jack in my truck and toss it in my wife's car on road trips (I take my husky 3 ton jack if we use my truck). Also picked up the pouch and pencil boxes at Meijer. The pencil boxes were 29 cents apiece...

    CLC tool belt and drill holster. I finally decided that I didn't want to keep climbing up and down a ladder or worry about dropping my drill/driver. Probably going to kick myself for not doing this sooner. I also ordered some terminals to keep in my electrical drawer.

    New Milwaukee impact bit set to replace my worn (but trusty) Ryobi kit. Not as many bits as the Ryobi set, but I probably used a fraction of what was included. I added a 1/4 inch socket adapter to the kit. Ordered it from Home Depot yesterday and it arrived today. I can already say that the...

    Picked these up from Harbor Freight. Been meaning to snag the breaker bar in case I had a flat tire....like I had two weeks ago...ugh. I'm replacing the wide wrench racks with the slim ones for my ratcheting wrenches. Also grabbed the flashlight and the brushes for five and two dollars...

    WEN Combination Wrenches

    I was searching through Home Depot's website for a decent set of Combination wrenches, which I may not have looked into yet (aside from Tekton, Capri, DeWalt, Gearwrench, etc.). I found that WEN has a set of Metric and SAE that are both made in Taiwan. Does anyone have any feedback on these...

    If you were to buy a new punch and chisel set

    I picked up the Craftsman set from Epstien's a few years back. It was a great buy. Haven't had any issues with it.

    "Whats your favorite tool and why?"

    Mine has to be my impact driver. I upgraded to the new Ridgid brushless last summer. I didn't have the heart to ditch my Makita compact brushless. That Makita got me through so many projects. My wife never understood why I kept wanting one until I got it...after awhile it was her saying, "Did...
