I was just in my local Lowe's on Friday and all the Ideal USA made stuff (lineman pliers, side cutters, cable shears, crimpers, and strippers) was on sale. Southwire had a new USA made stripper on the shelf too. Wonder if they are phasing out Ideal for USA Southwire?

I have a 100$ gc to Canadian tire....probably just gonna use it up with buying up to 10 of the missing sockets for my tool box. Unless I see some Mastercraft 'Maximum' kit that gets me most of them then hit the ones I dont have.

I like the Knipex mini bolt cutter.

I got this Jawhorse which I have used for a few projects. A woodworking project, a tractor project, a horse project, a welding project, a kitchen project. All tasks that it helped me with the past month. https://www.lowes.com/pd/ROCKWELL-Jawhorse-35-in-Steel-Adjustable-Saw-Horse-1000-lb/3878829

This is a great investment!

Bought one of these when I lived in a condo for 4yrs and didn't have work space. The neighbors were cool enough to where I could set it up outside my door and do quick work for furniture and other things.

Once I bought my house, this held every one of the over a dozen doors we had to replace while it was planed, routed and painted, not to mention the countless things I've wanted to work on and not make a mess in the garage.

The ability to flip the jaw and nearly double the holding capacity is a big plus.

ooooh that Jawhorse is definitely a nice thing to have if you don't already have one. I got the idea for buying one from this forum actually. Worked well as an interim work bench until I was able to finish the one I was building.

I had a $100 Lowes gift card so I was in a similar position. I ended up buying a star-shaped 5 outlet powerstrip, extension cord, box of 250 Kreg 2 1/2" screws, and a box of nitrile gloves. Still have $22 left. Will probably use on light bulbs, shop towels, more gloves, or other consumables.

I picked up one of this sets for like $10. Think normally under $20

Metric and standard in one socket and gearless ratchet. Nice set to throw in car or truck. If don’t have them already pass thru socket set could be useful.

I used mine for the same exact thing when replacing the doors in the house. Its awesome for that. I also have my miter saw mounted on plywood and just throw it on the jawhorse when I need it as a stand. Works great

I've done this as well; works great for both my 10" and the 12" slider.

Much better than when I used to plop plywood on an open trash can!
