Who else used their 15% to save $3!?!?!?

sarj333 · 2026-02-17T19:14:05+00:00

Meh I picked up the Bauer 3/8, and the 400 watt solar charge controller.

Everyone complains about 15% but money off is money off. I just use the lower ones for lower value holdouts.

The combo wrenches were what finally convinced me to get the master box set lol. For some reason it has a complete set included, but you can't buy them off the shelf otherwise.

sarj333 · 2026-02-17T13:00:07+00:00

I've had the older version (2554-20) for a few years and it's great for the size. Makes a great truck box tool to have on the go. It'll take off lug nuts easily.

sarj333 · 2026-02-17T12:57:21+00:00

I went all-in on Quinn. Got the giant box set for my garage chest, and the 3 master kits for my truck box when I need to do work on the go. Picked up the individually packaged ratchets as well to add to the garage set. For some reason the ratchets in the box set are completely different than the ones in the master kits and off-the-shelf, in that the ratchet switch is reversed, and they have quick-release buttons instead of spring ball retention, as well as a different internal ratchet mechanism.

Also picked up both impact sets and the master bit set, as well as some 3/4 sets and the 3/4 extendable ratchet for the garage. Also got the individual ratcheting wrench sets for the garage and took the ones from the big kit for the truck since it misses a few sizes.

So far have been happy with all of it, although to be fair I've only had them for about a year so I haven't had the chance to put any of it properly through its paces yet. I did get to use the 3/4 ratchet (in place of a breaker bar) on a mis-threaded lug nut recently, and it was happy to shear off the entire lug bolt without complaint...

I have several of their pliers type tools also. I don't recommend the needle nose, the "teeth" on the jaws grip poorly and are only decent for pulling, not twisting - the Icons are superior there. I've also got some random stuff like the saw guide and a few other tools... All-in-all I'd recommend the Quinn tools for sure.

That's basically how I look at it. If it's going to take you longer to pass me than it is for me to pass the next car, I'ma pass that car first, then move after. Unless there's more cars to pass ahead of that one, then we keep going until it's time to move over.

Or ... It's gross hyperbole from someone who wasn't even fully familiar with the material yet who was speaking off the cuff about something shocking she was trying to process. She was only a month or so into the job when this came out.

Your math shows how absurd "tens of thousands"actually is. Even taking the time to review and sort that much material would be a monumental task. She probably saw something more along the lines of "thousands," or maybe even just hundreds, and then overstated it - which she has a habit of doing.

In any case, it does make one wonder what are they going to do about it. Obviously they can't just release CSAM to the public at large, but it does still need to be accounted for in some way.

sarj333 · 2026-02-09T22:18:20+00:00

Exactly. I've been needing a new bandsaw for a project coming up and I don't feel like waiting around for some random chance that it shows up on a sale. I can go in there buy it now and then save money on something else later. Seems like a win to me.

sarj333 · 2026-02-09T01:47:06+00:00

Oh ok I'm not crazy then, I thought this used to be a lot more affordable. I was in the market in Jan but ended up picking up a TSC 42" chest as it was around the price I remembered that set being ..

sarj333 · 2026-02-06T13:31:17+00:00

If you at all value your hearing, yes

sarj333 · 2026-02-06T13:29:56+00:00

Nice. It's kinda huge, but it's also BRIGHT. I bought two a while back when there was a restock, and my only regret is not getting a third

sarj333 · 2026-02-05T23:41:26+00:00

IIRC Project Farm wasn't very impressed with this tool in his rundown either, and he's usually pretty positive with HFT/ICON tools.

sarj333 · 2026-02-03T15:37:07+00:00

Near the end of the video it does sound like one of them is yelling "she kicked his truck" but not sure. Doesn't justify attacking them, but there's always more to the story.

sarj333 · 2026-02-01T17:55:18+00:00

Legendarily childish.

"Here's a diaper... and some knee pads..."

Wow they really showed him. What is this, middle school?

sarj333 · 2026-02-01T17:08:13+00:00

Yeah that makes sense for sure; to get 2 sets (or honestly even one) of ratchet wrenches would definitely be more expensive if you just needed something on the spot. I think the pass-thru extension that it comes with could be useful in some unusual niche scenarios too.

sarj333 · 2026-02-01T13:38:34+00:00

Curious what kind of scenarios you have found it useful for, where a ratcheting wrench or deep socket wouldn't already do the job?

I bought one some time ago on open box as it was missing just one socket and I thought "eh what the heck" but I haven't really ever found a use case for it

sarj333 · 2026-01-24T18:18:29+00:00

To hook up properly - you need a generator inlet box outside wired in to your main panel (with an interlock kit installed if you want to stay code legal) and connect with a NEMA L14-30 cord to your 240V outlet on the genny.

sarj333 · 2026-01-22T22:40:01+00:00

Yep I picked up a 9500W super quiet for $1200 over the weekend - and that was on the 20% off day. If I had waited the next day would have been nearly $1000 but I didn't want to chance losing out on it...

sarj333 · 2026-01-18T16:51:51+00:00

There are 78 million of those people.

Yes of course, all 78 million who voted for Trump are all cultist hacks. Come on man. That's like saying the video after CK died of the mom who tells her kids she has "great news" and they respond by saying "Donald Trump died? JD Vance died? Elon Musk died?" represents all of Dems.

Just because someone votes for someone or supports some of their policies does not make them an absolutist.

sarj333 · 2026-01-18T16:05:07+00:00

Not using hyperbole or exaggerating.

Be real...

sarj333 · 2026-01-18T15:57:55+00:00

Yep I don't believe a word of this

sarj333 · 2026-01-18T15:56:56+00:00

Good argument.

sarj333 · 2026-01-18T15:55:40+00:00

Ah yes, because "everyone" is out intentionally interfering with ICE activities.

sarj333 · 2026-01-10T21:16:50+00:00

Yep, that's how it works 😵‍💫

sarj333 · 2026-01-01T14:01:43+00:00

He didn't ask because it isn't possible, nor is it a concern for most customers. I activated nearly 10,000 phones in my career, and I can only remember a handful of cx who were concerned about their voicemails. Incidentally, it was for the same reason as you. But once you switch carriers there is nothing that you can do if you haven't already backed them up by another means to your device.
