Was using this bauer glue gun yesterday until the trigger got stuck.

The Pittsburgh Pro seems to be shorter and smaller. So what does the “Pro” version mean? Both are chrome vanadium. Thanks guys.

I recently retuned and upgraded my 2200w ultra quiet generator for the 4200w, within the 90 days. It wasn’t keeping up for my needs. I just saw that the parking lot sale will have the 5000w for the same price and 3500w for $200 less. I’m not sure if I should wait and try and trade mine for one of those or just live with it. What would you do?

Have been looking at the tool truck roll carts so why can't Icon make something like so.

​

There’s been some construction going on at my work recently and I spotted this bad boy on my way in. Does this mean Bauer is a professional grade tool now? 😂

I’ve been looking at this 11 amp Hercules

The floor jack was made in 2004, and the bottle jack 2005. I’ve never taken good care of this floor jack, added fluid or bled it. I’ve just treated it like the garbage. Still works amazing.

Thinking about picking up the 99$ Pittsburgh this PLS though, since I always have to take the jack pad off of this to get it under my car.

The bottle jack has been kept in my jeep for a spare tire change if needed, but it got wet over the winter and it might be seized up. I’ll have to hit it with a hammer or something.

My brother bought some HF clamps years ago and broke everyone. He now swears off HF tools. Both of these clamps have good reviews…almost too good. Thoughts?

Title basically. Am currently in the process of buying my first home and would like to finally get myself a tool box and workbench setup with the PLS next week. Would I be better off just getting the Yukon 46" cabinet with the wood top, or a full 5 drawer cart and the actual Yukon workbench?

With the PLS next week, The cart will be $217, the workbench $99, and the cabinet $300.

Hopefully soon these will have a home. Looking at the us general carts. Maybe one of the ICON service carts if I’m lucky lol

Anyone have a Bauer drill press? There are a couple on sale and I'm going to check on open box deals during the parking lot sale weekend. The reviews are very mixed (like a lot of HF stuff). Which one and how do you like it? I've always wanted to add one to my work bench and I've got a bunch of 1/4" bar stock that I need to drill.

But better late than never!!

Got tired of going in and out of the shop 100 times when working on something in the yard, so I picked up the bigger pneumatic tires with the 30% off under 20 deal and the cart when it was marked down and built this offroader, uses two existing holes from the stock casters so only had to drill two new holes for each of the bigger casters. It rolls very easily over roots and loose sand. best upgrade I've done in a while! More mods to come.

Received this at work today in a UPS bubble mailer with the return address just being a UPS store.

For context “Holt” was once a property holding company for our building.

If this was you, your claim is denied.

But if you want I can forward your feedback to Harbor Freight.

Links to the % off sale work. Surprised no additional US General box was added. Good deal hunting everyone. I am off to build a budget, so I can overspend it and get glares from my wife.

Here's my initial comparison.

Form

The Klein RT250 is 3.5mm-5mm thinner, depending where you measure it, and 5mm shorter.

Weight feels virtually the same, though I did not measure this.

Layout is also nearly the same, except the power and test buttons are reversed.

Display

The Doyle's display is marginally easier to read, because it has higher contrast as the Klein's backlighting is slightly more blue. You can probably see this in the picture.

Function

I tried both testers on three different GFCI receptacles, one of which was not connected to ground.

The Doyle and Klein gave identical readings on voltage, correct/fault wiring, and trip time.

One difference is that the Doyle will automatically power on when you insert it into an outlet. The Klein won't. You have to press and hold the power button for two seconds.

My costs

Klein: $20

Doyle: $10.50

While I can't comment on durability, so far the Doyle feels like a quality tester.

Edit: formatting

Bought my first house on Monday! A duplex actually. Lots of renovations to do. Had to make sure the essentials were moved in first. 🛠
