    The No-Spill brand cans are actually a lot thicker and HD compared to the usual junk on the shelf at HD and Lowes.

    I'm thrilled they are starting to show up on TSC shelves now too.

    I wanted to buy one bit I see the price and stop every time cause I still have some good serviceable gas cans. Maybe when those are gone.

    The video sells the can. If I pay attention I rarely spill anything so thats not really a selling point but is an awesome feature

    This is so cool! Thank you Unicorn1!!
    It's got to be hard to let these go all made in USA AND a Williams ratchet those are like gold these days...... Not a clue where the tin is from but it's sweet too! Thanks a lot! From a tool guy I can appreciate this gift for sure........


    Is there a backstory to these tools? I'd love to hear it if there is. :D

    I search high and low for made in usa tools too..... Ive got a reseller store near me that I regularly go and raid. My USA craftsman ratchets are 30+ years old and indestructible... They actually say sears and roebuck on the case. They came with a metal case! Love the old tools...

    I got some older wrenches that say sears on them. Someone told me though that in that era they had both names on them in like two lines. The craftsman ones were the better lifetime ones and the ones that said sears, which were not lifetime gaurentee. I am no tool snob or expert so I dont know if this is true or not?

    I got a bag or ratchets and wrenches from an estate sale for a heck of a deal. I picked through and got all the craftman and sears stuff. It looks brand new also!!

    On a side note I had to go to HF. I exchanged a reducer that I wringed off and a ratchet that was hard to switch from forward to reverse. No questions they gave me new ones. They dont hold up to use but at least they warenty their junk!

    Have always had great luck with my S&K stuff. Some of the best sockets that I have had for over 20 years are some deepwell SAE and Metric that I bought at K-Mart for 8.00 a set, I think they were Allen brand. Never broke any and my buddy never broke any and he was always breaking his Snap-On stuff.

    What was it? Did the post mark give it away?:rofl: :lol: Yeah, we were up to the trading post and I was looking for something for you and was unsure of your needs and wants. So the wife said ,a gift card, one size fits all!. I figured, if you are like me there, it's old kid in the candy store time. You're welcome Jon.

    I loved that store when I was there. Dont they either have the upstairs full of guns in a gun room or a room on the front side of the downstairs thats all guns? Been 10 years since I was up there.

    I received my present in plenty of time and I'd like to thank Ralphie Boy, Am I right?. I think so, Sorry it took a few days to chime in, I was tied up with family and, can you believe it? Getting more wood! But that's for another thread.:yes: Anyways, thanks for the gifts, the shirt fits perfect and has been worn several times. Still looking forward to the DVD viewing sipping that fine Bourbon! DSCN1006.JPG DSCN1008.JPG DSCN1010.JPG

    The post mark did it. I'll use it for sure and there is so much to choose from. I keep thinking Yakima towers for my truck to move the jon boat or canoe around. It will be a nice little road trip in a couple of weeks. Thanks again. Have a good New Year!
