A 12 awg 50' reel. I love my Goodyear pneumatic hose reel.

I just cancelled my other 50' and bought this.
Way more than I wanted to spend, but I've been wanting a power cord reel forever.
I have a slight hatred of manually re-winding cords back up after use. Don't have to worry about that anymore now!

Same for their air hose reel.
Have had mine a year now and it's great.

It replaced my ~ten year old Harbor Freight reel. And is obviously a couple steps up in quality.

The power cord reel arrived a few days ago.
I haven't had time to do anything with it, but it does look similar in build quality. Just a bit smaller, of course.

These both got here. Screwdriver set is nice for the price, to keep around your desk, carry around, or gift. The grinder holder was reviewed as being too small but I think is 'large enough' to work w/4-5" grinders, thin gauge but thick enough for the weight. I bolted mine behind my HF cart using an amazon 'for her' electric screwdriver (pictured) and self tappers:

^ that was exactly my take and is the reason I left "negative feedback" (which I've done now exactly 3 times in 10 years on ebay.)
no big deal - he's what ebay calls a "high volume seller", so if he complains they will remove the negative feedback from his profile (which I've experienced before.)
Really not that big a deal - I only ordered those because they were crazy cheap and it seemed like a good "Secret Santa" idea.
I have no shortage of pliers!

***** that people can get away with that just because of volume.

Exactly. Bought a set of shallow offset wrenches from an Ebay seller. She shipped a deep offset set instead. Then argued, insulted me and refused to accept a return.
Tried to leave a factual negative review. Ebay nuked it.

So I assume he oversold or realized a price mistake and rather than risk a bad rating he is trying to make it look like he is a victim too, he is trying to get out in front of his mistake so you don't leave a bad review. Is that your take?

Its plausable , especially when USPS collect during the mail run. I've had packages collected during the mail run of the day to only update the following day. So it's possible , I'm not saying it is , but it can be that it was collected during the mail run and lost between there and the next day and as a result , still shows the USPS didn't receive the item.

Let me be clear , I'm not saying it is and they guy may very well be BSing but just thought I'd let you know as this has happened to me twice that tracking is only updated the following day , making it look like I took my time to ship.

USPS have been dropping the ball a lot lately , of the 3 items that one shipped on eBay:

1)showed tracking from the meowmnt it was collected arrived without issue

2) showed tracking a day later and arrived without issue

3)The last one showed tracking a day late , didn't reach the destination despite tracking showing it did and they can provide no further evidence of delivery past " GPS data shows USPS vehicle was at the address " and they're denying my $96 claim. I refunded the buyer as he has a good rating and insists he wasnt porch pirated and the item wasn't delivered.

In the case of package 2 and package 3 , they were in possession of the package for the afternoon and overnight while tracking showed " USPS waiting for item "

I'm now spending those $2 or $3 more for ups or FedEx who don't deliver packages with mail and can provide photo evidence of delivery. I lost $100 because I wanted to save $3.

I checked the tracking number yesterday morning.
The item was NOT shipped out. USPS never took possession of it.

just an FYI
Click to expand...
Just a FYI, before you actually bash a seller, As a EBay seller myself , i have experienced this. Depends on your postman IF they are picking up. My normal postman will scan the package pickup into the system , a substitute driver 95% of the time will not. So it sits for days in there system as it was created but never shipped, when it is in their hands. It also bites me in the *** with EBay because everyone of those goes against your statistics on your seller rating, get enough missed on time shipments and your no longer a top rated seller and lose their final fee discount. Dropping it off in the self service box doesn't always work either as they sometime don't scan it until it hits the actual distribution center. Your dependent on some lazy ******* at USPS to do their job. I used the self serve box and waited two weeks before it ever came through the system. I wont anymore and will wait in the line if i take a package there now and watch them scan it in. I asked and they said it was probably sitting on the truck at the distribution center waiting to get unloaded.

Most of my stuff ships in a 6x9 envelope for almost $5.00. I have free shipping on my item, which also just bit me in the ***. Most people 99.9% I deal with are fine. I just had one two weeks ago i shipped them two different items but contained the same part. I specifically messaged them about it to let them know. Never heard squat , so i shipped them. Now they changed their mind and want a refund. I am now eating the $4.76 on the $17.00 item( total) it took to get it there all because the reason they gave was they "changed their mind". Remember I messaged them and let them know what they were getting so there was no confusion before it shipped and would have changed the order then. If i would have waited any longer I would have created a late shipment. They never messaged me directly when they got them either so I couldn't work with them. They went directly to EBay and then filed a "changed my mind" with EBay.

This just reafirms my decision to not ship using them anymore.
Thing is , eBay ruled in my favour because the tracking showed delivered but I still gave the refund as the buyer had a good rating and insisted he didn't get it, had gone to his local post office asking for delivery evidence etc.
Ebay told me that any negative reviews I received on that would get deleted.
USPS are refusing the $94 + shipping cost claim so I lost the $94 plus had to pay in the shipping cost to refund the buyer. ( I'd heard many times " eBay always rules in favour of buyer " )

For just $3 more , I could have used FedEx and had indisputable delivery evidence.

I'm a buyer, not a seller (although I probably should start selling some stuff).

USPS tracking is by far the worst of any of them. It's almost comical, it's so bad.

Before Amazon had their own fleet, they overwhelmed FedEx, who then "handed off" final-destination delivery to USPS. That was a good reason NOT to buy from Amazon...

This is a real nice screwdriver for $7.05: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GNT9635?tag=atomicindus08-20

I ordered one, they sent me the 1 size up, no complaints. So I ordered another, they sent me another 1 size up. Though of those 2, one has a round shank (46223065), the other a hex shank (46223565), otherwise apparently identical.

So I ordered a 3rd just now and will be curious to see what I get next. If the variety continues, I plan to keep going.

EDIT, this went from 12 in stock to 0. Did someone buy them all or did they correct the listing when shipping me my 3rd? 🤷‍♂️

edit: Ended up reducing order since I don't think these will work well on a tailstock (non-floating). The quill on a drill allows their use but am unsure they'll do well on the tailstock. I found a quick change tool post holder (MT2) that may work w/the easier to move unlocked carriage once the tap bites into the work piece.

Morse taper 2 metric tap holders. My lathe's MT3 but drill press is MT2 so I'll just use w/a sleeve; cheaper too. I've figured out 'fancier'/more expensive solutions involving GT12 chucks if anyone cares but this one was cheapest for me:

You should get getting the flex head. In my experience, when its between the photo and the description on Amazon, you usually get what's in the description.

Thank you. I guess I misunderstood which way those reviews were going. I'll give it a shot and see if the flex head comes!

I thought my post indicated I know the difference. What a shame Amazon couldn't have used the correct image with the 3726 (Flex) listing so we could have skipped this whole "what will they ship me" conversation.

I have spent good money that I don’t regret following this thread.

The latest thing to arrive at my door is the Klein shorty hacksaw. Such a solid tool. I’ll post a picture comparing it to the ****** one I owned before. Well built, feels great, the adjustment mechanism for the blade depth is super easy. Around $8, half off. Previously posted link is still good, just bought a handful to hand out to my friends.
