    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In need of tips on where to buy tools

Allie brings up a valid point, as branding is an issue. For example, my last visit to Craftsman land found lots of Chinese products where only USA lived before.
 
Sad but true. Their sockets and wrenches are still American, but lots of pliers and such are not. I bought a set of hex keys that turned out to be Chinese from them. They still sell good quality stuff, it's just disappointing. Selling America by the pound. One thing I still like Craftsman for is that there's a local store that I can go to, which is an advantage over Harbor Freight to me. Likewise Home Despot and Lowes. Hey that Husky tool cabinet I bought says USA in it, I was surprised.
 
I do some tool shopping on craigslist I found some really great deals on snap On & mac stuff. divorce forces sale stuff is great too. you can also put a want add on craigslist just do some research before ya pull the trigger, that way you are not spending more than the stuff is worth


my 2 cents
ant
 
My findings on cl are that the people selling the tools think that they can charge almost retail for their used crap.
