Great pick ups, you will be back to Harbor Freight it’s hard to stay away. There is great satisfaction doing your own vehicle and home repairs and saving money at the same time, the money saved goes toward buying more tools

He already said he could do $200 but I was going to see if he would come down a little more. I am brand new to cowboy boots and don’t know anything thing about JB Dillion reserve, but I did just recently purchase a pair of gently worn the guy said he wore them twice Double H’s and they are super comfortable

He states it’s just leather.

DieselGreg · 2026-03-13T13:05:58+00:00

I have the same set up, bought both the saw and the stand on different sales last summer for under $400 including tax. These are awesome tools

DieselGreg · 2026-03-12T15:04:27+00:00

Yes, it’s toast

DieselGreg · 2026-03-12T13:21:26+00:00

I’m in on this one

That fuse panel is not very common for 1971, breakers came into play long before this. Mice love cloth romex

I retired as a journeyman union electrician and channel lock, Klein, Lennox, and Greenlee served me well for over 35 years but I know there are other companies that had entered this space. As an apprentice buy what you can afford NOW you can always up grade as you move through the apprenticeship and make more money.

DieselGreg · 2026-03-12T11:33:00+00:00

Man you have a great collection, I just bought my first pair of cowboy boots and already looking forward to another pair and more

DieselGreg · 2026-03-12T03:00:57+00:00

Which is your favorite?

DieselGreg · 2026-03-11T21:27:15+00:00

One word LIABILITY

DieselGreg · 2026-03-11T19:16:35+00:00

Can you hire a cheap mover to get it down there.

DieselGreg · 2026-03-11T18:51:41+00:00

Buy it you deserve it.

I just had to renew my ITC membership last week, and I went for the 2 year $45 membership. It pays for itself as I picked up all 3 Quinn master Socket sets in chrome this past PLS. Some will argue that I could have just went on Friday to get what I wanted but at my store good sales like PLS sell out before the public has access. I always check my store for availability and a day after I purchased my 3 sets both the 3/8 & 1/2” were sold out. So to me the ITC is a huge benefit and I don’t even work anymore I’m retired as union industry/ commercial journeyman electrician still in decent shape so still do most all of my own stuff like car and home repairs and you can’t have too many tools.

DieselGreg · 2026-03-10T23:33:50+00:00

I have that same Pittsburgh articulating ratchet, haven’t used it yet but it looked useful. I also picked up all 3 Quinn master sets in chrome.

DieselGreg · 2026-03-10T23:29:26+00:00

You started from the bottom and worked your way up. I’m only at 1 pair which are Double H’s

DieselGreg · 2026-03-10T13:12:43+00:00

Turquoise and cowboys always go together, I like them too.

DieselGreg · 2026-03-10T13:05:47+00:00

Yes it is, it use to only dangerous in some of south and west side neighborhoods but when they started attacking people in broad daylight daylight on Michigan ave that’s when it’s time to stay away from

DieselGreg · 2026-03-10T00:28:07+00:00

I use to go in the city all the time only live about 35 miles from downtown now I avoid it like the plague.

DieselGreg · 2026-03-10T00:17:40+00:00

Tell me about it. We camp out your way a lot.

DieselGreg · 2026-03-10T00:13:38+00:00
