  1. I have to say that I'm impressed with this tool chest.

     

    I picked up the top today and could not believe the way it was packaged. Eric mentioned that it was packged well, thats an understatement. I used to be a buyer of cardboard for packaging and my guess is they had at least $25 in packaging on the top alone.

     

    Now I need to find the rolling bottom chest and I will be ready to ask the neighbor to help me put the top on it.

  2. Thought I would take a walk through the local HD today. Walked in and the first thing I saw was a guy with a bright red Milwaukee shirt on. He greeted me and we started talking, I asked him if they were going to bring the chest back to the stores and he said he didn't think so.

     

    He did say that another store in a nearby town had 4 of the tops in stock and he said that they were priced at the original price of $299, but he didn't think they had the bottoms.

     

    He called the other store, got someone on the line and they confirmed stock, he handed me his phone and I put one on will call and will pick it up tomorrow or friday.

     

    Now I just have to find a bottom at the original price or on clearance somewhere. 

  3. Big gun, knife and hunting fan.

     

    I thought I would help kick off the new area with a "what's your favorite?" thread.

     

    Knife - fixed blade - Bark River Knife and Tool - you can't beat the design and value for the money

     

    Knife - folder - I jut got my first Zero Tollerance - like it so far

     

    Gun - Almost anything other than Taurus, sorry I have never shot one that didn't malfunction

     

    Hunting - currently bow hunting for deer

  4. Point of sale display got me.

    I was at HD and had the Roybi in the cart. Then I saw a Milwaukee m12 drill and impact driver combo with charger and two batteries for $100.

    Put the Roybi back on the shelf and got the Milwaukee.

    The wife's happy with the size of the drill and I get to play with the impact and m12 system. Everything else I have is dewalt.

    Like selling crack. They know how to get you hooked.

  5. I will take a look at the Ryobi. 

     

    I'm afraid that if I spent the money on the M12 she would never get to use it because it would be in my truck or tool box. :)

     

    Plus it most likely is overkill.

     

    The Dewalt gryo was the one that was on clearance, but someone got to it before.

     

    Thanks for all the suggestions and I will update when we get something and find out how it works.

  6. I would like some recommendations on a power screwdriver to use around the house. 

     

    I don't care what battery platform it is as long as it is easy for my wife to drive screws to hang pictures, put together furniture  and general house hold chores.

     

    I was looking at a Dewalt but the one I had spied on clearance is gone. So the field is wide open.

     

    Thanks,

    John

  7. If you happen to be in central Iowa Acme tool is having 10% off almost everything in the Des Moines store.

     

    Several tool reps. there talking about their tools.

     

    I bought a couple of things, got a free lunch, but didn't find any swag.
