Last week, I bought a Lie Nielsen medium shoulder plane. [big grin] The only thing wrong with it is that it's not the large shoulder plane. [scared] I will order that next. [big grin] [big grin]

Just went to the website and the free battery shows up in the cart, but it went away after I put the 11% code in. Did you call your order in or do it online?rst said:Bought the new Milwaukee 12v drill, Acme's 11% off with free battery deal just killed me. I already have a lot of 12v tools and batteries but at $203.00 + the 6 amp hr battery sucked me right in.
Which is the right idea, as the thing will work as long as you have enough light to read it - not bail on you every few months (or the shitty ones even lasting only weeks) when the batteries run out...Chris Wong said:I am thoroughly enjoying this 6”/150mm Metric/Imperial dial caliper I recently bought. I do have a soft spot for analog.

I've always wanted to give an open end ratcheting wrench a try.

They can be a bit finicky but once I lock them they don't unlock on mine. I think they're Gearwrench but I'd have to check they may be Craftsman.
[member=65062]DynaGlide[/member] - Years ago I purchased some Craftsman branded wrenches like you describe. I have also seen them branded as Gear Wrench. I really like the way they only take a small angular motion to "click" but wondering if you have the same issue with the adjustable heads that I do. There is a tab to lock/unlock the head - if you disturb the wrench a little bit the lock releases on it's own. Annoying, but, I still love these wrenches.

This is the old school style? Yep, it's 4 sizes per wrench.
