Geez, Imma pull some straight up Tom and Jerry s*** and reach my hand through this phone and out yours and steal that toolbox. Is it just your HD that likes to clearance stuff for 1¢?

There was also a page on penny deals at HD but I cant find it right off

"Penny deals" are a needle in a haystack. Don't think you can just walk into an HD and buy stuff for a penny. It takes LOTS of work, research, knowing stock, merchandising and schedules. It's so much work, it can't even be written up as a "How To." What works at one store, may not work at another.

Picked up my $10 Bosch Daredevil spade bits, which was nice but not as nice as HD giving me back $58 for my $100 Husky SilentFlow Compressor! Today was a good day at HD!

Nice set. I almost bought that set today. I already have it but at that price it's tempting. Will power I made it out without buying anything ok so my daughter called me needed me to take her to dr or I would have bought it.

haha, yeah man I like them! I don't have a Fuel drill but I testing them with my M12(Speed 1) and my M18 hammer(speed 2) and compact(Speed 1) drills and they worked well through some scrap white oak I have. I tried them on my M18 impacts and they did well too. The M12 did struggle with the largest sizes, I think I recall Jimbo's M12 Fuel breezing through. I was planning on picking up the Fuel but I couldn't pass up the M12 Drill, M12 hackzall, 2 batteries, charger and large contractors bag for $70. Fuel would have costs me an extra $100 for the drill but I would gain high Ah batteries but lose the contractor bag and a freaking hackzall! I still might pick up that m12 Fuel drill, you m18 Fuel is nasty...what a beast!

 

I also did want the set you have but I couldn't pass up $1 a spade bit for these. My old spade bit set is a B&D made in Japan set I inherited from Dad:

Do you use Diablo sanding discs or belts on it?

No, just the generic disc and belt 

live the weight , very sturdy .. Just seems to be an overall winner for my use

I have worked up in the air in a scissor lift with an impact wrench, just wish I had the detent for fear of dropping the socket. For working on cars, I'm glad I had friction ring, but it is based on application. For wrenching in the shop, changing out sockets frequently, fiction rings are best. In a commercial building working overhead with only 1 socket at a time, detent pin is best.

I agree with you which is why I went to the hog ring when I switched to Dewalt, I didn't need the safety of the pin.

The Husky strap wrench is replacing my Kobalt that I got overambitious with some 6" camlock fittings and snapped the belt on. I figured I'd give the filter pliers a shot too.

Is that the led light?

Not too impressed with my Milwaukee pvc/filter wrench, seems lacking in quality with the grooves.

Very nice! You went with the 1/2" detent drive?

 

Yup, only normally use a couple 1/2" sockets per job. Most of the time it is 3/8" drive, so I can pin an adapter on it and then when I pull the socket off, the adapter stays on the tool. No more swearing.
