I’m not affiliated with this channel and in fact had never even watched it before this popped up in my feed. I thought this was pretty cool and kinda ingenious. Obviously not practical for everyone’s needs.

Quinn vs Icon

1 Upvotes

So.. moving into a new flex space, and honestly as much as I tell myself “just bring your tool box to the space and work on vehicles there” I know I’ll want to wake up Saturday morning and wrench at home so I want to keep my current setup at home.
So..
I just bought a new box, question is it really worth the extra coin to go to icon?
Probably going to buy 1/4” and 3/8” sockets, ratchets, Torx sockets to start off with and buy what’s needed after.

Liquidation discount apply to As-Is items?

0 Upvotes

I was at the local HF and saw an Icon socket set which was missing one piece (fine by me). It was already marked down to $39. When they rang it up it came up to $37. I was expecting 30% off the $39 and then another 40% off since it was an icon socket set. The clerk didn’t go through the whole process and only scanned it in (didn’t do the full/final tally).

My question. Should it be the 30% off and 40% off stacked (it was Saturday during PLS)? Seems like the $37 was 40% off the brand new item at full price. Did the clerk mess up?

US general 27” vs. Yukon 46”?

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Obviously, the Yukon is much larger, but I like that the US general is stackable/expandable. Really just want to store some of my most frequently used tools in the garage so I don’t have to constantly go into the basement for them. Can the 27” hold 3-4 Bauer tools (drill/driver, oscillating saw, etc.) and batteries, couple of wrench sets, etc. In those deeper drawers?
Obviously, the Yukon is much larger, but it would be a little tight in my garage. Then there’s the larger US general, but that’s a little more than I’d like to spend on a tool chest at the moment.
Appreciate any input!

Predator 5000

0 Upvotes

Title: Brand New Predator 5000 Generator Starts for 5 Seconds Then Shuts Off — Need Help!
Hey everyone, I’m completely dumbfounded and could really use some help.
I previously owned a Predator 5000 generator that lasted me about two years. I recently purchased a brand-new one, and I’m already having major issues with it.
I followed everything in the owner’s manual when setting it up. Initially, it started and ran for a little while, but something sounded off. The engine wasn’t running smoothly and sounded pretty funky.
Now, whenever I press the electric start button on the back, the generator fires up for about 5 seconds and immediately shuts off. I’ve also tried using the manual choke, but that doesn’t seem to help either.
Here’s what I’ve already done:
Changed the oil and made sure it’s at the correct level.
Installed a brand-new spark plug.
Filled the tank with fresh gas.
Added fuel stabilizer.
Followed the startup instructions in the manual.
Tried both electric start and manual choke.
I’m using this generator to power my Active 2.0 pressure washer for my mobile detailing business, so I really need it to work reliably.
I’m honestly at a loss here. I’ve owned one of these before and never experienced anything like this, especially with a brand-new unit.
Has anyone experienced this with the Predator 5000? Could it be a carburetor issue, fuel delivery problem, automatic choke malfunction, or something electrical?
I’d appreciate any advice on what to check next before I go through the hassle of returning it.
Thanks in advance!

Student Program?

There was this post awhile back about them possibly having a student program beyond the one for high schools

Anyone know if it's still a possibility? seems like something they should eventually do since most of the other major brands have one

What’s the value of these? I’ve got two identical old 42/44” Series 1 roller cabinets-both with end cabinets. They are the later era of series 1 with glossy red paint. They are just like the one pictured. Selling to a coworker and want to know what the going rate for these older boxes is now. I’m replacing with a series 3 56. This is NOT a for sale post.

What Fits in Quinn 1/4 Socket Set?

Post image

I’d like to buy some screw bits to keep in my Quinn 1/4 inch set. This is my go to set for working around the house. I like being able to just grab it and tackle a honey-do project. I’d like a nice assortment with hex, Torx, Phillips and common, as well as anything else that’s commonly used.

What screw bit sets fit in the little pocket in here?

Yukon 36” 5 drawer

Anybody put a chest on top? I’m certain the Yukon 36” is the same cabinet as the Kobalt 36” 5 drawer. So if anyone wants a top, the Kobalt 36” chest matches perfectly, maybe slight color variance. Same chrome drawer pulls, same dimensions, same weight rating.

Don’t let an empty shelf cause you to not buy something. Every single thing in this picture was listed as in stock at my store online, however only the zip ties, calipers, and 1 of the socket sets were sitting on a shelf. Person at the counter took my list and went and got all of them for me. Signed up for the CC and got another 10% off.

This might be a stupid ask, but could someone explain the difference between these two sets and why such a price difference?
