tti makes the ridgid branded battery tools available at the orange box. emerson electric owns ridgid. ridgid still makes electric pipe threading machines, and a range of hand tools, including pipe wrenches. many of their hand tools are rebranded. been a long time since i have seen a new ridgid pipe mule, dont know if they are still USA made

back a couple of years ago, when sears discontinued a huge swath of USA tools, the store clerks bought most, if not all, up.

not really. i have quite a few. if the work is near the garage, probably. any where else, i usually grab blade specific, usually a comfort grip. what manufacturer? i have many drivers

Brrrrrrr........... a coupla years ago, heading into late fall, i just had to have heat in the carage for the coronet. i would up getting a 40k gas fired unit heater. buried 3/4 sch. 80 pipe with heavy couplings the depth of a spade shovel. i already had run a 1'' galv. pipe with 60a, 230v, along with a fist full of #14 a few years before (also at the depth of a spade). keep it at 45. nice getting into her car and its warm.

didnt buy, acquired today. delta 40-540 scroll saw. kinda really silly cheap.

i dont like bags. they dont stack on a 2 wheel buggy. im from a time when manufacturers put their product in a steel case. i have alot of the crypt tools in steel boxes. don't like the plastic cases. the tool has to be positioned just so, and the cord wound a particular way to be able to close the lid. and forget about putting extra blades or whatever extra in a plastic box. think i threw most of them out

i have a couple, that turn white. an old proto #2 phillips, and a USA channellock. cleaned with mineral spirits, took the white rite off. wipe dry, air hose nozzle, and then rattle can satin urethane. they have held up for a few months now.

nope, mine's not on the list.

drywall is easy enough to cut. i wonder how it would do on plaster?

item received, thank you. very sturdy steel case, i'm sure i'll find something to put in it. you have an inbound, btw.

thanks! i think my clamp is one of those

cordless drills.......... operable............ 4 cordless drills.........inoperable........... 4 corded drills.....not including hammer ....... 7 (?) recip saws.......................... 7 or 8 grinders............................... 9 or 10 or 12 i cant carry everything on the truck, and i cant break down every job before running out on the next one. if i need something at that moment , ill buy it, rather than track it down wherever i dropped it

all i use, is fluke. this is a olde partial pic, i have many attachments, and new additions.

if you were closer, i'd grab it

as previously stated, midwest or wiss. i had a set of the lenox, the handles are uncomfortable. i gave them away.

i have large quantities of both, fixed, and multi. multis spread out thru the realm.fixed, everywhere. i have fixed and (2) klein multi in my work toolpouch, i rarely grab a multi

just did 3 pairs of hinges for 2 doors and jambs damn that was quick! wish the 'depth' was more adjustable.last door i made, i set the hinges a little farther in/on/back. next dumb question, they use 3p double headed nails. quick google search reveals nada in that size. suggestions?

got another ebay purchase delivered. need only the 1/4'' now. armstrong polished long combo wrenches in sae, 5/16 to 1 3/16. need to work on metrics now.

they had porter cable, de walt, bosch cordless on end cap, which all faced main aisle. 2-3 end caps, each brand. they had batteries for p/c & dewalt on those displays. bosch batteries were in an aisle, opposite end from all the end caps. the back section for bosch batteries was like in a 'dead' zone. wouldn't think they'd hide them, behind drywall tools.

cleared out the stock at lowes, #414 batteries. all 2 of them. and, it's not like they made them easy to find.

ok, so i pulled a number outta a hat. shipping now included. that will knock off $ 30 or so paypal gift. regular paypal add the 6%

thank you

i have a couple i have to replace. when i get the time. probably wind up buying another first

anyone?

i have a very short list of people i'd lend tools to.
