    I bought a couple and the main problem with them is that it takes for-frigging-ever to pour the gas out. Also, the spout was very cheaply made and didnt seem like they would hold up long, so I sold them. True jerry-can happiness comes from buying the nato style cans and one of these: https://swissarmyvehicles.com/surplus/51/SAV4220/army-spout-utility-jerry-can-swiss-army They drain super fast, and they are super durable all-metal construction.

    If you like that type of jerry can nozzle, you might find this one cheaper and of equal high quality: https://wavianusa.com/products/long-nose-flexible-pouring-spout

    Nice find... but the magic in the one I posted is that tube coming off the bottom - when you tilt the can it does a flipping awesome job of equalizing pressure so instead of "glug glug glug..." you get "whhhhheeerrrrsssshhh" (imagine sound of toilet flushing inside your gas can.)

    I just bought one of the Hf stud gun and slide hammer kits for doing bodywork and have been very happy with it. For the guy that's not using it for a living it works great.

    Love this floor jack. I was curious how well it could hold loads, so I jacked up the front end of the truck and left it suspended with the tires about a quarter inch off the ground. Came back the next day, could still spin the tires freely. Got the low profile one so I could work on other vehicles too.

    Also love all the US General tool organizers and tool carts. For the price, really can't beat it:

    Farm jacks are scary enough from a reputable brand. Thats one thing I dont wanna trust my life with from HF.

    I have that exact toolbox, just in blue. Love it. Was a pain to assemble. All of the drawers open/close smoothly, it rolls around fine, and overall feels like a quality item. While researching before the purchase (~2-years ago), seems like it's often compared to an almost identical snap-on box that's ~$1k. To me, it was a no-brainer. Awesome value.

    And all the colors they have are cool. I have the blue on myself, looks sharp IMO.

    I never really understood why the Snap-On and Matco Tool boxes are stupid expensive. Like you said, I regularly see the used ones of facebook marketplace, people wanting $1000+ dollars for a pretty basic box, not including any tools. At the end of the day, it's just a empty metal storage box.

    I now have 4 of these. I hate using this word but they are “awesome”. One in both cars and two for the garage. Unbelievably handy, getcha some.

    Anyone try these ramps? Just looking at them to make oil changes on my Tacoma and 4Runner easier?
