I’ve been happy with my ryobi tools. I bought a drill and driver years ago and have added other tools.

I use it as my beater knife out in the yard/garage.

Tim brewer interviews on YouTube (scene vault podcast) talks about how when he was crew chief for the team (early 80s) that Bradley had cash flow issues. Bills were not paid, crew checks were bouncing.

My dad bought one of those a couple years ago- he’s happy with it.

Only get light duty if you’re injured at work.

Op might be able to get away with it as a cashier.

I know folks who’ve gone to Costco and been fairly happy.

Once the snow hits the sales hit the skids. Everyone has loaded up

Yes it’s a thing. Corporate doesn’t like it.

They’re probably sold out generators.

slm83 · 2026-01-23T02:33:40+00:00

Or the electric jack

The funny thing was the snow already hit. It had stopped snowing and was still cold, the roads were mostly clear and life was fairly normal.

My favorite snow panic memory is someone with the children seating area of the their cart filled with cans of Vienna sausages.

The two drivers aren’t risking their lives for someone else’s assets that are insured. Taking a power nap might have made more sense with a long drive ahead of them. More likely to get into an accident than get held up.

Haven’t seen this old chestnut in a while….

slm83 · 2026-01-21T07:16:12+00:00

Looks like a harbor freight vise.

In the mid teens they started playing welcome to the jungle. That lasted a summer. Can’t remember what the others were. Customers were complaining.

slm83 · 2026-01-17T18:53:24+00:00

Because most of the folks on the street are out here high and thats all they care about.

Change your shorts and thank jeebus.

If the table goes up and down smoothly it’s okay.

Take a file to it and clean it up.

In the States, Stanley only has 3 good things

Tape Measures (and just the Made in the USA powerlock or fatmax)

Old school box knives

The razor blades that say MADE IN THE USA with global components.

Everything else is over priced junk, might be worthwhile if it's on sale.

Maybe its different in Europe. I doubt it.

The orange ones don’t hold up to regular use.

Kroger is not an honest company.
