    Cordless Drill/Driver. Li-Ion verus Ni-Cad longevity

    With that said, and with Lion being smaller and lighter, I think it would be cool if they came up with a "secure" belt clip for a spare battery pack. Sure you could just put one in a tool belt pocket if you are wearing one but it could fall out as well - that could be very bad like in your...

    Toptul or Bahco? What system to invest in?

    Nemesis, did you consider Polish made tools? just throwing it out there, I dont know any brands but because you live there it may be worth investigating.

    Railroad Track questions

    I have no idea what it is, but since you found it partially buried on an old farm I wonder if it was used as a weight on an old plow or disk and happend to fall off years ago without being noticed.

    Snap on Chest Restoration Ideas and Input needed

    I think that floor pad you bought (which I have myself) would work better as a pad in front of your box rather than draw liner. It's just a guess on my part because you haven't posted pics of your grandfathers box - yet, but I think you will find that pad to be too thick for a good drawer liner...

    Gen Tech P37772 Digital Multi-Meter from H.F...thoughts?

    Your not being an *** in my opinion at all, in fact your opinion is one of many that keeps me coming back here. The GJ is only as good as it's members, and the fact that we can share our opinions, even if we disagree, is priceless.

    Gen Tech P37772 Digital Multi-Meter from H.F...thoughts?

    Fair enough, and I agree I didn't answer your question or offer anything constructive, and I will appologize for that. It is the part that I read where "it grew legs or walked off" that stuck out to me. So by your logic "The Blue Point model that is now missing was closer to $75 when i...

    Dalluge Tools

    wasn't there a post on the GJ about the vaughan - eastwing line change for one of the box stores? HD or lowes, and they were being closed out at cheap prices if i recall, but I think it was n the west coast because I checked my local.

    Gen Tech P37772 Digital Multi-Meter from H.F...thoughts?

    Grow balls and bring it back home where it belongs. I know that may sound harsh, and I dont mean it to sound that way, but really I just can't understand how someone can type "it walked off" and "I can't afford a fluke" so can I get the HF model and it will work? To me, and I am tool poor so...

    Storage for larger & specific purpose tools?

    I have been trying to get my own stuff organized and I've spent alot of time reading the threads on GJ and thinking about this issue. In my case smaller "purpose oriented" organization seems to be the way to go. For example, when I can get to that point I want to have a small roll cab (like 36"...

    snap-on tool box w/stainless steel work top and roll cart - $3000

    "If it checks out to actually be a $7,400.00 Snap On box" That was my reasoning for reposting it here, too much chatter in the hot deals thread is frowned upon. Even if it was a great deal, I don't have the coin to spare, I realize that for most peeps reading that post shipping would probably...

    Best Tool Find

    Not to Hijack your thread but - "I have to admit to being a little pissed about the wasted money." I spent more time than I care to remember on the flight line, in the cold and the rain and the sleet, with every bird and piece of gear we had that ran on JP-5, - watching it idle for hours on...

    Good cheap screwdrivers for my J/Y bags

    What about instead of getting a set or multiple screw drivers, get one or two of the handles with the changable hex tips - but then buy some high quality tips to go in it. I think there was a thread posted not too long ago (maybe in hot deals?) about an online retailer having good deals on high...

    snap-on tool box w/stainless steel work top and roll cart - $3000

    I posted this in the hotdeals thread the other day and I just saw the ad is still on CL (but could be sold not everyone removes their ad's) Anyway, just for reference I was wondering what any of you who know Snap-on boxes thought of it? Great deal? Ok? Average? Also, I realize even if it's a...

    As good as it will get: Vise Restoration

    Welcome to GJ! Since those weld beads on the sides are "built up", couldn't you just carefully grind them down flat to un-ugly it? If there were any cast marks or numbers there before they welded on it they are gone now anyway. In your after pics it actually looks like its in pretty good shape...

    HOT DEAL Index!!

    fm2176 - what is this "RTV sticker" at Sears your talking about? -I check my closest sears when I'm in the area and manage to pick up a few odd ball things for cheap now and then, and they all have the light red or pink clearance sticker on them. Also, I normally just check the clearance end cap...

    DeWalt DCD985B 20-Volt MAX Cordless Lithium Ion Hammerdrill Driver Bare Tool $74.99 from tooliday http://www.tooliday.com/ This is a bare tool without the battery pack, but seems like it's a good deal if you already have a 20v LiOn set but not the hammerdrill. I did a quick search on amazon...
