  1. My only problem with .22lr is finding it in stock. Here on the Illinois / Wisconsin border most everything else can be pretty easily found, but it seems people are still hoarding .22 ammunition. At the local Wally World .22 is the only ammo they limit to 1 box per customer.

    Never had that issue up here, always tons of .22 lr to go around. Man 1 box per customer is brutal, especially with how fast you go thru .22 at the range.

  2. Like most of you all I have a tool addiction,my other is firearms. One thing iv always found interesting is that no matter how many different guns I get my hands on I always come back to my 22. Nothing beats it and anyone who thinks it's a "kids" gun is really missing out.

    Was in Toronto at school and stopped by Le Baron,saw a good deal and ended up with my second 597. Got this one with scope all in for 220 bucks.

  3. It looks like all new stuff, my pawn shops suck I don't even know where the thieves go to cash in there stuff..lol

    Lol ya the guy I spoke too said he hates buying tools from people cause they almost always come back stolen. He said he gets most of his deals from buying damaged boxes, like tho knipex needle nose.

  4. Checked out a local pawn shop today for the first time. I was really surprised at their selection of hand and power tools. The staff was friendly and we talked tools for almost an hour. Traded in my old dewalt corded sawzall for credit and walked out with all this for about 100 bucks.

    Anyone else have some pawn shop deals to show off?

  5. My red snips are a staple in my bag, I use them at every job for a variety of things, more like "universal scissors" for me. Iv always had the same wiss snips, but after they were "mistakenly melted" I replaced them with a pair of milwaukee snips.

    The milwaukee snips are great, they cut super smooth, but for someone like me with smaller hands the grips just don't feel exactly right. I never feel like I can get a solid grip on them like I could those wiss snips. The snips also don't open wide enough for me to cut the copper line set when I'm taking out an old a/c unit, which is super annoying and doesn't fulfil my needs.

    So I ended up getting another pair of wiss snips and wouldn't you know it, absolute garbage! Did I just get a bad pair? I mean I couldn't even cut paper with these things. I can barely even get them open! Has anyone else had quality issues with wiss?

    Iv angered the tool gods, I just want my old pair back.

  6. Milwaukee has the most to offer me now and from the looks of things, in the future as well. Their power tools haven't failed me and because of that I bought their hand tools aswell. I see no reason to ever look elsewhere.
