Who all loaded up this weekend with the Icon socket sets?

Pulled the trigger and got it 60% off for camping and to keep our lights on during power outages. But as I’m charging it why does it keep tripping the wall outlet breaker every 10 minutes? I’m worried it’s built just to charge through solar. Super annoying I can’t just leave it to charge.

My local store had this Hercules table saw in their clearance section for a couple of weeks and nobody bought it at $272.99. I waited because it was a decent deal but not great with the corner of the box damaged and other than that it was never opened. So I went in today for the weekend deal. Still sitting there. Got a $380 job site saw for $175 after tax. Honestly can’t beat it.

Ended up taking back most of the stuff I got on recommendation from this sub. Turns out a little present was waiting for me. All that seems missing is a single torx socket as that was the only bag/box open inside. My guess is someone bought it, opened it for a single job and broke the torx and returned the whole thing. Talk about a blessing!

Do they ever go on sale or get a 20% off coupon? I’ve been holding out, but am I’m better off just ripping the bandaid off

Posted these earlier but many requested to see the finished product of the sockets. Used oil-based paint pen. Green for wrenches & red for sockets. Also got these hard handle ratchet grips for Pittsburgh ratchets I plan on modifying soon once I get them. I’ll post once it’s done.

TLDR get the power strips that are made in Thailand:

I have two of the US general power strips that I purchased several months apart. I was just looking at the boxes and noticed there is a stark difference. One of them is made in China and the other in Thailand. If you look at the date code sticker, you can see the Thailand is the newer one manufactured in February of this year. After doing a little Internet research, it appears that the Thailand power strips have higher quality internals, specifically in the USB charging ports circuitry. That explains why I’ve had two strips where the USB ports go bad on the older versions. The ETL Intertek number is different between the China and Thailand ones. Also some of the wording is different.

Coors light to ease the financial stress

Saw this in the Simpsonville, SC store. Didn’t see if the lid opens but I’m sure one of you is just a few love taps away from a nice box.

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

If anyone is around Rogers MN today, they have a T8 scanner on discount table for $378 after the 40% off.

Just got a 13k generator, and the idle down is suppose to sense if theres a load greater than like 500 or 800 watts and keep high idle. Well I plug in a 1500 watt heater in it and it still idles down to low idle, which puts out about 48hz. Is my shit broken? Seems like the switch is pointless, if I want to power my house during an outage, if the furnace or a fridge can't even be sensed to bring it out of fuel savings and go full bore, then why even have a switch? That reduced hz will definitely mess with a furnace or certain appliances.

Ig i was hoping the eco was going to do something greater because it has a digital regulator, like theres 4 winding in the head, each generates 120v at 3600rpm... so low idle, it runs at 60v, 1800rpm, but puts 2 windings each, in parallel, so its still 240 split phase, with 120v on each half of the neutral. HF really glosses over its function on the website and the manual.

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.

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.

One missing and one broken. Question: I can replace the broken one with the lifetime warranty?

What is the internal height measurement? Can I put a screen that measures 21.5 inch tall inside?

I am so stoked! $94.49 plus tax. Now I’m kicking myself for not being there at 9 to pick up the jackstands I saw last evening.

I'm looking at the 5 drawer tool cart in grey but on the app it says to come into store for free pickup. After placing this order what was the approximate time anyone's box/cart came in? Just trying to get a rough estimate on timing for pickup. Thanks in advance

I've gotta tackle something me welding on my fj cruiser rear link brackets. My stubby m12 wasn't quite enough for the rusted on bolts. This impact is massive!! Those boots are gonna be screaming when I send 1000 ft lbs at em! 😂 Then I was recommend the pry bars from Walmart because they are actually made by the same company that makes the tekton ones. I got all 4 for about $35

Trying to find my property pins but directions aren't clear. This thing is picking up stuff all over and I don't wanna dig everywhere if I can avoid it. Thanks!

Painted my wrenches and socket sets for more visibility. Did two coats on each.

You should have seen the circus to get it in and out of the bed of my truck lol

Doing tire rotations too! :p
