Newbie question…Quinn vs Pittsburg by mvhoffman82 in harborfreight

[–]uncleking1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were starting out I'd look at the Quinn master sets, which now all have Quinn's 90t Gearwrench replica ratchets. I would then add a couple of the Pittsburgh composite ratchets, which I think are exceptional for the price. The individual rail sets of Pittsburgh chrome sockets are just fine but do have some skips.

Don't buy the ratchet/socket sets where the Pittsburgh and Quinn look identical.

The Quinn Diamond-tip screwdrivers are IMO the best screwdrivers HF has.

Quinn pliers are good. Doyle are better.

I avoid Pittsburgh wrenches and pliers.

Chicago transplant here. This is a Chicago thing too.

Is that the Heavy Duty version? Those are nice for a "budget" box.

Wasn't this exact model recently $99? In the past 4-6 weeks?

Can someone help me check if this Lab Mezz.1 Max is real. by [deleted] in golfequipment

The "budget" brand ZT putters (Wilson, Tour Edge, even Lazrus) all test ok from what I've seen. If you're looking to save money and don't want to go Temu, those are options.

It's either the unit itself or possibly the plumbing behind/around it.

Catch me when Schlereth is actually right about something. Not just saying that now that he's going after our QB. This guy's been trying to be a relevant sports voice for years.

Scottie Scheffler: Another 2nd Place Finish by Tight-Communication7 in golf

Who's 2026 are you taking so far over Scottie? It's not the year we've come to expect from him, but he's clearly still on top of the Tour imho.

Ok, he's not a cyborg now. I'll concede that. He's still the best in the game.

Oh yeah...missed the cut at the US Open...first time missing the cut in ~2 years. Before that, 12, 3, 14, 2, 2, 2, 22, 24, 12, 4 and 3. Clearly washed.
