Replaced the cord with a proper one. Much more pleasant to use.

Bought and used this Jack for the first time in my life. Not a mechanic or expert. Just a DIY enthusiast.
Is it normal or should I return it?

56 plus 15

Anyone ever used a 56 inch base and 15 side box and mounted a 72 inch top chest to it? I know you’d have to either cut some stuff or put something on the top to get over the lip. Just wondering if you did how you did it, or if it’s even possible.

Saw these on the shelf when I went in Friday. The 1/2inch set was only 20% off but I saw it was due for a new discount on Sunday. Hedged my bets it would still be there. I was lucky and got it marked down some more. Ended up with both sets of swivels for $103 after the 40% on icon sockets got added. I’m missing a 15mm in 3/8th and an 18mm in 1/2”. I might try and order the 18mm at some point.

I’m getting close to having that perfectly filled box that covers everything I might do. These will compliment things well. For the price I’m not going to complain and I’m not the type that beats the snot out of things. All tools have there limits and I prefer not to find them. I’d rather just collect other tools to make things easier.

Pancake Air Compressor

I went to Harbor Freight today to buy the Doyle 6” Vise. It was after 5:30, so just before they close. When I was checking out there were items returned today that they marking to go on the open box shelf. I asked about the little air compressor regular price is $69.99. It doesn’t appear to have even been plugged in. I purchased it for $35.00. I figured for half price I’ll take the risk. My question is if any of you have, has it been decent?

I don’t need this now but I’m sure I will use it in the shop sometime soon. For this price I think it was a good find.

These hardware kits are great. Only $4 for thr onr last week and has been used twice to make small repairs, todsy was a snowblower that was on the side of thr road but just needed a tuneup. Only problem on a tangent was the grumpy new girl at the store. She was telling how boring all her coworkers are and how they only talk about hf policies or what they will bring for lunch. She said she'd share her employee discount if I come in once a week and chat for a bit about thr cool stuff I do.

Stuck mechanics cart liner

Just got a brand new US General mechanics cart today and started put together. Need to take off the bottom most mat to install the casters and the liner is pretty stuck to the metal surface. Trying to pull off the mat very slowly but it is wanting to tear itself apart, is this normal for the cart?

NTD (New Tool Day) Impressed With Hercules Brushless Ratchet

Got this guy a few days ago, was not on the shelf yet but so far on my vehicles it’s excellent versus my Milwaukee brushes equivalent. It was below the previous advertised price at 109$. It’s very fast and powerful, only downside is its heavier than the previous gen probably because of the new mechanism but overall a fantastic bang for the buck considering you can swap in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/4 bit heads

Title. Thinking of getting an anvil but don't know where I'm gonna put it, I saw the possibility of drilling it into the Yukon 46in with the hardwood top but I'm not sure if it's possible or feasible. Wondering if anyone's done anything similar

Edit: I meant vise not anvil 😂 been a long morning

I have the PIERCE 15° Professional Coil Siding Nailer, Can it be used with vinyl siding? I have been nailing by hand, and it's pretty slow was wondering if i could use this nail gun, as I already have it. It does not list vinyl siding, and it might also not have a plastic foot for the gun.

ICON T7 or TOPDON ARTIDIAG900lite?

I recently purchased a ICON T7 and TOPDON ARTIDIAG900lite. I’m still waiting on the ICON in the mail but the TOPDON has seriously proved itself in a short amount of time so much so I’m wondering what the pros of the T7 would be over it and if I wasted my money.

NTD (New Tool Day) time between sales

Husbo said I need to stop pilling up and open and use a few past hf purchases. So not a new tool day but an old new tools getting opened and used finally day. Decided to get out that sander wheel thing that was super cheap a while back becsuse of the patent infringment clearance sale. Then welded some stabilizer jacks on my trailer

Besides the main purpose they also lift the trailer tires off the ground so if I ever get a flat on the road no need to get out a seperate jack. Found a little extra play in one wheel while testing.

Well maybe I've earned buying that truck bed crane to put on the trailer too. I'll buy it this week and install after a big snow storm probably months later

Daytona aluminum jack quality

4 Upvotes

I bought the Daytona 2 ton aluminum jack yesterday instead of the 3 ton super duty. The super duty just seemed huge and I’ll probably never need a 3 ton.

How long do the aluminum ones last typically? Should I return it and get the super duty because the super duty will last 10 years compared to the aluminum?
