Conductor562 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Found a Rockwell Jawhorse Sheetmaster for $127. Got it on eBay directly from Rockwell. Listed at $159 with an additional 20% off at checkout. Been wanting one ever since I got to play with Dan's, but never seen the Sheetmaster that cheap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/201331872767 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might ask Stanley if they want to replace it. And of course the others are the new ones. Important news bulletin: Stanley has agreed to warranty that top right LeverLock with the touchy lever. That's really nice of them, don't you think? Hooray for Stanley! We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum thread already in progress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I've never dealt with Stanley concerning the Stanley brand, I have dealt with them concerning the Proto, Blackhawk, and Dewalt brands. I've always gotten good service out of them, though they do much better with phone calls than they do emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I have $75 left in my tool budget after the Jawhorse, the digital angle meter, and the Proto testers. While I'm a little sad because I had so much fun tool shopping over the last few weeks, I also feel I did well for what I spent, so I can't complain. Speaking of the digital angle meter..... I used it this evening to dial my 780 in. It wasn't too far off to start with (less than a degree), but now I'm down to within .25 degrees at all angles. That's pretty damn tight and certainly an acceptable margin or error for my needs. The scale must be a smidge off because, for example, if I set the stop exactly at 33.9, it threw my 22.5 off a hair, and so on. I got them to all line up to within .25, and I'm satisfied with that. I'm willing to bet 90% of the miter saws in America aren't dialed in that tight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jawhorse is one of my most used tools, I use it for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a guy I was doing some remodeling with had one and I got to use it pretty extensively. I knew then I had to have one. I don't think I'll use it much for full sheets, but I did want the functionality. That's kinda what kept me from buying one. The regular version at $100 or so was no big deal, but I knew I'd regret not getting the sheetmaster version and for some reason the $200+ price always turned me off. I didn't figure I was gonna find it any cheaper than $127, so I went for it. I was toying with ordering the welding attachment too, but it's nowhere to be found and I'm not sure I'd care much for it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the cost of the sheetmaster, I lucked out and found one of the regular jawhorses (damaged box but still had the protective wrapping on the feet and whatnot) with the sheetmaster kit at a pawn shop and knocked him down to $50! That's the only time I've seen the sheetmaster under $150. Comp got a great deal on one from Canada HD I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SetBuilder Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I have a 1st gen 1/4 impact and a Fuel one key 1/4 in impact so I plan on doing a video comparison with the surge. It won't happen till next week, when I go back to work though. I really like the Ridgid boxes, the one on wheels will be my next purchase. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Was in a pinch and absolutely had to have an impact driver to throw a self tapper into a freeze plug that was getting replaced with a block heater. The Bosch 12v brushed combo kit was the only thing I could afford after my recent proto and wiha splurge. Awesome little kit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Couple of my orders came in. From Deluth Trading I picked up a fire log carrier (awesome) and a face mask for snow blowing duty. And I scored (2) Makita 6AH 18V batteries from EBay for $185.00 for both. Thought that was a good price. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted December 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 So amazon had a deal of the day on the metric set of these gedore wrenches for only 60 bucks, sad the SAE weren't in sale but the hunt is on! I'm impressed by the quality seals on the boxAnd I gotta say I can't believe how light these wrenches are and I'm a huge fan of the finish!Also, thank you @john_glasseyi for forfeiting his Instagram win from ridgid over to me, this sweet label light will be perfect for filming!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
