racinfarmer Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 FINALLY got my Horrible Fraught sorting funnel! The guy at the checkout said they only get 4 or 5 in at a time and usually whoever finds them first buys the whole stack. Also went slumming it to a "everything has to go" sale and drug home a old FXR race shell for $5 and a Callaway 7 wood for $3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted May 5, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) So I bought a couple sets of Ratcheting Box Wrenches yesterday at the local farm store...Master Mechanic brand....I realize they aren't made in the USA but I was trying to support a local business. It did get me thinking just now about what tools are Made In The USA specifically ratchets, sockets, wrenches, etc....I googled and it seems there is a lot of confusion out there about who makes what for who so any ideas? BTW I tried to redeem myself today by buying 20 bags of Michigan Made Cedar Mulch. Edited May 5, 2019 by Jimmy Snacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Update: In addition to sorting screwy thingys, it also works great for pistachio shells and garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK, Proto, Snap-On, etc. Basically if it is made in the US, they'll make a point to have that prominently displayed on the package. They are usually not cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my Dewalt were US made but my last “toy” didn’t have the big “Made in USA” patch on it so I went and checked....MUTHA FUCKA! Kicked in the grapes!

Woodtick Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I just bought two wire wheels for the angle grinder. Menards has a decent amount of made in USA stuff. The wheels were twice as much as the China junk. If I would have had to buy 4 cheap ones . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Tried to use my new Depstech endoscope/camera thing today. Downloaded the required app and it doesn't even fucking work. App crashes before it even tries to launch on 4 different devices. Skip buying one of these pieces of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 A friend and I were talking a week or two ago about what original theme we'd go with if we'd do the 24 Hours of LeMons again. We decided on Spy vs. Spy. 24 Hours of LeMons posted this on their Facebook page 5 minutes ago... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve bought two in the last two years for simply that reason. One was a complete joke and I wrapped it up and brought I back. The other I gave away. The power of gas is hard to compete with....I just don’t want another one taking up space so I can use it every other year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one electric i used to use for just washing cars and my boats and it was fine but got frozen. I need to powerwash my shed but beyond that the new one will be used for cars mostly.

I think an electric is fine for stuff like that. But anything more and they struggle. I learned a bit on how important the GPM was instead of the psi rating. Sure, I can get 2500 psi out of it but it will be a pin-thin stream that won’t reach the top of my facia for more than a misting. I’ll end up with another gas, I just need the right project to propel me into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do some serious cleaning on this kia i picked up for the boy so I am prob going to pick something up this week to clean the car well so I can start the paint on Saturday and at least get out all the scuffs and scratches and the shit ton of tar and bugs off to see if it can be PDR'd or will need more bodywork.
