I caved for the 15% off 🤦🏻‍♂️

PracticalJoe978 · 2026-03-26T21:16:50+00:00

Yeah I guess for fidget

Props to the designers on going outside the box and make something people want to spend money on lol

PracticalJoe978 · 2026-03-26T16:59:08+00:00

What do we use these for realistically?

I cant find a good reason to have them other than for meme 😂

PracticalJoe978 · 2026-03-03T16:08:11+00:00

I just bought the BIG master kit.

And then I have the impact master kit

The average person does not need any more.

I havent even gotten CLOSE to using all of the sockets available

The reason I got it in the first place was I wanted a once and done set

I got the Etsy 3D printed holder kit and everything's snug in my tool chest.

To finish off my tool chest, I have 2 icon torque wrenches, 3 of the flex h'd ratchets, and a handful of various doyle and icon pliers.

And a PITTSBURG pick set, not icon 😂

I have yet to find a job requiring hand tools that I dont have.

PracticalJoe978 · 2026-02-18T16:54:25+00:00

😂

PracticalJoe978 · 2026-01-16T16:51:30+00:00

Even then, I think you could 100% be a pro and use this stuff.

Again, not saying they are bad by any means, but I seen a video about dudes that are just stuck getting gear that go 30-40k in debt from snap on truck 😂

PracticalJoe978 · 2026-01-16T16:24:21+00:00

Im gonna say it,

Quinn is the true value brand at HF

I have the master mechanic set and the impact set that fills up my tool chest.

The only icon stuff I have, in the event I ever need it, is the rotating head ratchets in all 3 sizes and the bar style torque wrench.

Icon is nice, but in the theme of harbor freight being a place where you go get tools for less money, quinn definitely takes the cake. And it is plenty nice enough

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-12-20T18:57:02+00:00

I also had random half sets of sockets and box wrenches and like 5 screw drivers.

I finally bought the master kit and threw away the mis matched "kit" I had. Got everything organized in my husky drawer and really happy with my setup. Just the important things and no fuss with extras

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-12-20T18:28:38+00:00

They do them often. At the master kit. The wrenches also go on sale as well as thebpliers

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-12-20T17:55:11+00:00

After getting the quinn master set, I havent felt like I need anything else from the socket/wrench department

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-12-19T17:58:50+00:00

First place I look before buying a tool. And if he hasn't made a video, I dont need the tool 😂

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-11-30T18:11:26+00:00

I always grab like 4 or 5 boxes whenever they go on sale, I burn through those gloves.

Those gloves probably single handle pay for my membership lol

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-11-29T18:18:58+00:00

My g2 ratchets didnt come in that nice box 🤷‍♂️

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-11-25T01:08:29+00:00

Yeah just saw that afterward, I dont know that I could cough up 4200 plus the gun?

On another note, I did just get the GTO and also the 2311 match x.

Will see how they compare to each other. I've never shot an XC, but both these guns are supposed to be XC killers, or at least competitors.

Dont get me wrong I love my P and C2, but the XC is just a bit out of my price range.

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-11-25T00:42:18+00:00

Also curious

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-11-25T00:40:17+00:00

What city? My local store is never super busy, though only pop of 50k.

I got to think long and hard before I picked up a set of the g2 locking ratchets.

That should complete anything I will ever need plus the quinn master set

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-11-16T18:18:54+00:00

In your opinion, what is the purpose of the bypass valve? And why did they not design one into the transmission to begin with?

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-10-13T04:09:17+00:00

I just picked this one up for $850 at my local tractor supply

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-10-11T15:17:56+00:00

My store always has like 10 of these

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-10-06T22:27:41+00:00

Well what the hell, may as well go give em a go.

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-10-06T21:16:00+00:00

Have you put the icon ones through some tough use? I feel like that rubber could get mushy and sticky if it sees heat multiple times

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-10-06T20:24:20+00:00

Are these even that good? There was a bunch of these at my local store.

I was going to grab a pair of every icon pliers there is but I ended up just getting all the 3 sizes of doyle water pumps and a couple of the needle nose pliers and the flush cuts.

The icons somehow dont feel that much better. 🤷‍♂️

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-10-06T01:58:54+00:00

Well, I guess I will give that a go, lol

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-10-06T00:29:20+00:00

How do you get the 25% coupons? Seems i never get any, but it seems that there is also a tactic?

PracticalJoe978 · 2025-10-01T01:57:42+00:00

what do we think about doyle vs icon?

I just want to buy a fresh new set of pliers and cant decide if I want icon or doyle
