    Drop in bed liner

    I found mine on facebook marketplace for $40. Had a bit of a drive to get it though.

    Any experience with acme tools?

    I have never had any further correspondence from them, even though I kept the email saying that my order had been cancelled, and then shipped anyway. I ended up going to Lowe’s and buying the metric set, so I still got both sets for about $22 total. I just have no explanation for how it worked...

    Thinking about streamlining my tools.

    Well, maybe I just got a dud set. Or, maybe they need to be used more. I’ve just always grabbed my Dewalt first. I used my new circ saw today just for a few minutes for a couple cuts, and it was smooth as butter. Much better blade visibility, and lighter than the kobalt I had.

    Thinking about streamlining my tools.

    I thought I’d continue to update the thread with my experiences. In addition to all the tools I’ve mentioned, I also have two different modular tool box sets. One is a husky connect system from Home Depot, and the second is the Klein modbox. The Klein is way overkill for my use, but it’s a...

    Which one? I have a 1/2” impact wrench, and then I have a 1/4” impact driver as well.

    It’s been a good one for sure. But impact technology has improved, and the dewalt I bought yesterday is 2/3’s the size of this one with similar specs.

    Thinking about streamlining my tools.

    I’ve got a sawzall that’s been used maybe three times, a circular saw that I used just to build a chicken coop, a 1/2” impact set with battery and charger, and a drill/driver set with charger and 2 batteries that I think I used the drill out of twice. All 24v. You can message me for prices.

    Thinking about streamlining my tools.

    After some wheeling and dealing, I have acquired a circular saw and mid tourqe impact wrench. After the rest of my kobalt stuff sells, I’ll pick up a couple 5 Ah batteries and I’ll be set. I know I’ve mentioned longevity and store support for kobalt as some of my concerns. I found out earlier...

    Spotlight acquired….. again. Been researching their impacts, and even though there is a new in box compact one near me for a good price, think I’ll hold out for the mid sized one. It has similar specs to the one I have now. Probably gonna pick up one or two more work lights also. I have...

    Thinking about streamlining my tools.

    I blame a Milwaukee set for getting the wheels turning on this. I saw a set on marketplace (probably stolen, lost receipt and all) for $500 still in box. It retails locally for over $800. But after looking closer, I noticed everything was brushed motors. That made me start crunching numbers, and...

    Thinking about streamlining my tools.

    I picked up a sawzall today, and Lowe’s had a 2 pack of 4 Ah batteries on sale for $80 so I grabbed one. Home Depot has the spotlight on sale for $80, down from $120. Got my eye on that one next. Jeez I sound like an addict.

    Thinking about streamlining my tools.

    (Sigh) my name is James, and I have a problem. So, I sold a pistol a week or so ago, and as one does with a bit of extra money, I set to trying to decide how to spend it. Because saving is for suckers. Anyway, I’ve decided to replace my perfectly good Kobalt stuff with Dewalt. Why? Absolutely no...

    Any experience with acme tools?

    I haven’t opened them yet, I’ll give them until the weekend to request that I send it back. After that they’re getting added to my collection.

    I should have known better than to order from acme lol

    Any experience with acme tools?

    I’m just wondering if anyone has any experience with ordering from acme tools? I was just wasting some time when I found out about a sale they were having. Buy a set of SAE Wiha 3/8’s impact sockets, and get the Metric set for free. I had seen the sets at Lowe’s, and they are $20 each. The sale...
