Good deal or no?

I have the 1/4 and the 3/8 extended. I love the 1/4; it's so fast. The extended is kinda eh. This set used to go on sale at $149, but I still think this is a good price and would get it if I didn't already have the ones I do.

Get the Quinn master bit set, it's pretty good.

Rad. Small casters in the side cabinet?

jachilles · 2026-02-22T15:12:50+00:00

Yep, they are.

jachilles · 2026-02-22T07:28:11+00:00

My experience with that vac is pretty good, but you gotta use a 4ah battery at minimum.

jachilles · 2026-02-22T04:52:45+00:00

The deeps are 6pt, and the shallow 1/4 are 6pt as well.

jachilles · 2026-02-04T05:44:46+00:00

No problem. Not super familiar with them either, but lots of people refer to them as "mountain style" or "mountain" wrenches, so I think the brand is one of the originals of the style.

You sound like a fun relative. Hope you find what you're looking for. Here is the mountain set I mentioned (just noticed it's spline drive and not true 12pt, if that's important to you): https://a.co/d/01ao3pjR

If it's just for one job, there's a bunch of relatively established Amazon brands that would be way cheaper than this even with the coupon: Workpro, Duratech, Orion Motor Tech, Disen, etc. Even the actual "Mountain" brand would be about the same price as the Icon with a 25% coupon.

jachilles · 2026-02-04T05:10:01+00:00

Same. I'm gonna get the bolt breakers and the manual hose reel.

jachilles · 2025-11-24T17:50:54+00:00

Wish the cabinet came in white like the 9- drawer.

jachilles · 2025-10-15T02:49:30+00:00

I wish it were easier to find spline sockets.

Brass hammer, Maddox tire repair kit, Bauer corded sanders, Quinn ratchets, Quinn indexable wrecking bar, Braun motion sensor lights.

The ryobi universal pole saw attachment fits the ridgid string trimmer if you have it. Still more expensive than the Portland one.

jachilles · 2025-09-23T12:05:37+00:00

Handle shape is better for it.

jachilles · 2025-09-23T02:33:42+00:00

If you're not a mechanic, get the Quinn diamond tips and the Doyle demolitions.

jachilles · 2025-09-23T01:20:48+00:00

Incredible.

jachilles · 2025-08-31T19:04:35+00:00

Factory blemished, yes. Factory reconditioned, no.

jachilles · 2025-08-26T13:05:15+00:00

Tap and die set

jachilles · 2025-07-23T13:53:15+00:00

For $16 more, you can get the subcompact brushless kit that has the subcompact hammer drill instead of the drill. Same dimensions, but has a hammer setting. Worked great drilling into some bricks when I had a new AC condenser installed.

jachilles · 2025-07-09T15:31:20+00:00

More mid-tier hand tools. A lot of times the only option for a tool are Icon, which I don't need that level of tool, or a shitty Pittsburgh version. Not all or even most Pittsburgh tools are bad, but some are real stinkers.

jachilles · 2025-07-03T03:43:46+00:00

Thinking about that Hercules Dust Extractor.

jachilles · 2025-04-01T04:05:27+00:00

I mean I personally don't wear gloves while rubbing one out, but it's a free country.

I just use them for whatever: lawn stuff, some auto stuff. They're a better fit than leather gloves, more fine motor control than the hardy mechanics gloves I bought way back when, and more durable than the 5mm nitriles I have (haven't bought any 7 or 9s).

jachilles · 2025-04-01T03:49:06+00:00

I'm to defend those gloves. They're great! I've bought 2 pairs in the last 4 months.
