    It seemed solid, bolts were only 66 ft lbs. I used it to change my mower blades. Switched them out in 40 min, did not have to remove the mower. According to reviews some use it as a breaker bar, it’s like putting a pipe on the end of your socket wrench.

    It extends 13-18” so figure 5” overlap.

    Love the Apache boxes. Finally got my Caliraised LED MOLLE panels all outfitted with them.

    Nice! What do the back sides look like? Did you drill into the cases?

    Wow, no new posts in 10 days (and that included Black Friday). Ran by a local store on Wed to pick up some odds and ends and it wasn't as crowded as I expected. I wonder if their decision to stop sending catalogs isn't working out or if it is the economy in general (or both). Did anyone pick up anything interesting or see any REALLY good deals?

    I was pretty disappointed in their BF deals. I even looked through their entire “online deals catalog” they now email out instead of the paper ones. Didn’t see anything I couldn’t live without :pout:

    I went yesterday and got my wife two sets of string lights. I also picked up some garage organizing tool holding racks for $1.79. Generators looked appealing at $769, and the post hold auger too. Have to wait until the next paycheck and family budget meeting to decide if we are building a new fence in December or January.

    Haven't been to HF in a while. I got tired of them not having shit. My local store sucks nowadays, I think management fucked it up.

    Only thing I was tempted by was the titan 125 welder for $169 but I don’t want to be limited to only flux welding.

    My store's about as busy as it has been.

    I do think that overall, people arent spending as much but I think that the coupon flier that used to come in the mail no longer being a thing as they go to the inside track or whatever they call it is probably hurting them more than they realize. Dude in front of me last trip got qll annoyed the orange tag price didnt apply to him, so he passed on that item. The difference was like a dollar on a pair of gloves.

    I grabbed the new creeper because my other creeper was across town at the time. Haven’t used it yet, but hoping the bigger casters are an improvement over my other creeper. Hoping it’s another HF gem, and not another HF turd.

    I have high hopes. Anything is better than the traditional metal Craftsman creeper.

    I grabbed one a couple months ago and my only complaint is that it’s the grey one and I bought too early before the cool colors came out.
