Tekton Combination Wrench Sets

Quality tools and the rolls are really tough and store well without things coming out. I have both the SAE and Metric sets and keep them in the vehicle in case i need them. Perfect for that for sure. They are both a no skip set meaning you get all the sizes. Much quality than any box store brands or modern Craftsman garbage.  They have a forever warranty as well....no matter where you got it or what you did to it, they will send you a new one if it breaks. Highly recommended sets. Link:  https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-Combination-Wrench-Roll-up-Storage/dp/B0199R9QR2/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=tekton+wrench+roll&qid=1586019386&sr=8-1

Harbor Freight Pittsburgh Composite Digital Calipers

Most people cant stand Harbor Freight. Truth is, it's the new Sears Craftsman. The quality is really damn good on a lot of things and the return policy is fantastic if you have issues. Some of their stuff is still kind of cheap junk but most is very good. These digital calipers are cheap, accurate and very very handy down to the tenth of a mm. I have several pairs and use them constantly. They come in blue and black. I have both. Verdict: Highly Recommended. Not dumb garbage.

KASA Blutooth Smart Outlet Switches

These work great. They are Blutooth and connect to your smart phone. They can be controlled from anywhere via the app and the app has a great scheduling feature. They work well for lamps or anything a remote controlled outlet would be handy for. I have used mine for turning on lights at night or to control my stereo so that when i walk into the shop the lights and music are already on. I have used it to control fans etc . Great item Verdict: Recommended. Not dumb garbage LINK:   https://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-HS103P2-Required-Google-Assistant/dp/B07B8W2KHZ/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=kasa+smart+plug&qid=1577663555&sr=8-4

Harbor Freight Drummond 110v Transfer Pump

This little pump is the best investment i have made in a long time. Harbor Freight sells these little 120v transfer pumps for about $65. They can be had for less than $50 using a coupon. I think tehy claim they can move 300+ GPH. They claim they are not for dirty water but seems to do just fine with leaves and grass clippings etc.. The come complete with a short length of standard garden hose for the inlet side and also has a nice surface fitting to suck water off the surface of something like a concrete floor. Very handy and in my experience will suck water down to ~1/8 deep. I picked mine up on a whim from HF more than a year ago as i was having some flooding issues in the yard in the spring. The low spots filled with water and with the ground still frozen there was no place for the water to go. Fearing it would continue to fill up and i would have issues with water getting into the house i grabbed this. I have used mine nonstop for hours and hours. I have run it in freezing c...
