Started buying/ordering parts n tools for my front suspension job. Some of the tools I can use on other stuff but I have a cheap 3/4 breaker bar and a special 2-9/64” balljoint socket I will never use again after this job. $45. Got a half decent impact wrench and a bunch of cheap metric and SAE impact sockets too. Can always use them. The Harbor Freight (Hazard Fraught as some call it) crap is good for stuff you don’t need often.

I have several Harbor Freight tools, wired electrical and hand tools. If I made my living with these tools, I'd buy better but for occasional use most are just fine. I am not sure enough to try their battery stuff. That may be just an old prejudice from years gone by when most of their stuff was junk. New HF stores are going up all around me. Is your impact driver an HF? If so which did you choose?

Yeah, HF sells plenty of crap. But if you need something only once (or seldomly) then it is the way to go sometimes. However, they also sell some higher quality stuff too. For example, their Icon hand tools (wrenches, etc) are actually pretty good. Costs more than their low end crap but still less than the big name brands. I got a Central Pneumatic air wrench. The Earthquake line. Those are pretty decent. Should last awhile. Probably half what the big named stuff costs but I dont need to make a living with it. Central Pneumatic also makes total crap tools for ridiculously low prices. I never buy that crap. Just a couple examples. HF sells a lot of crap but they also sell some half decent stuff too. Just gotta do your research. Earthquake is a good line of air wrenches.

Nope. BK watched Ant Man a coupla times and now, with the click of a button on his keychain, that wee vehicle turns into this...

and in the process it did something to the gas mileage... it jumped up to 47mpg, and it only takes 28$ to fill it up .... 500 miles for 28$ is pretty good in my book...

Wanna pay a tax of $5,560.00 on a liter of nic ?

Don't want to huh ?
Well then - speak up !
Stop a Massive Federal Tax on Safer Nicotine Products!

Nothing like a good internet petition to make one feel better in the morning. Why not take the time to sit down, compose a rational letter on paper, put it in an envelope with a stamp and then put it into the mail to your congress person and senator? If everyone who gets a jolly and a warm feeling from entering their information and then clicking a button took thirty minutes to compose a real letter then they might be taken seriously.

Yet another petition for the 'delete' button, who cares?

If the people who think an internet petitions, of which there must be a millions supporting all kinds of stuff, are effective then by all means, do both. But the petition is just so easy and writing a letter takes thought, work and intention - all that hard stuff. In the end, for most, a petition may (or may not) be sent, the letter will never get past an initial thought. If you do both, you will be the rarest of exceptions.
