Here’s a fixed link for the Titanium crowbar for the curious.
Stiletto, I have no idea what I’m going to do with it, but I suspect the racoons who keep waking me up in the middle of the night will be involved.
Firefly, I find pinã coladas better leverage than all the titanium crowbars in the world.
If you use a 150,000 BTU HEAVY DUTY PORTABLE KEROSENE HEATER to warm her up first you won’t need the titanium crowbar, trust me.
Measure twice, cut once, as dad used to say.
I feel kinda guilty that my wife doesn’t take my Harbor Freight catalogues into the bathroom and masturbate. Geez, talk about a one-sided relationship.
“Measure twice, cut once, as dad used to say.”
My Gastroenterologist says the same thing.
Harbor Freight and I are on a first name basis. I have spent literally thousands of dollars there and have been happy. Almost all there hand tools have a lifetime warranty and are replaced no questions asked. And in most cases all it took was a phone call to get the replacement, I didn’t even have to send them the broken tool. I also buy a lot of Craftsman and Snap On stuff too. Yes, I’ll admit it, I’m a tool junky. I have 4 rollaways and could use a couple more.
scout, I know the feeling. I looked through the catalog and instantly thought, “I need a bigger garage.”
As long as I got y’all here, what’s the best saw I can get for precision cutting on aluminum?
…if you must know, I’m building a replica of R2D2.
Tools. I love 'em I love 'em I love 'em. If I could marry the Craftsman heiress, I’d be set. 
I wager you can do some good bashin’ with that thing.
Another Craftsman Story:
After I graduated from college (15 years ago), I was working for myself doing landscape design / build (my BS is in Horticulture). I purchased a round point shovel from Sears, being certain that Craftsman was imprinted on the thing.
Doing landscape work is very hard on shovels . . . I’m on shovel #5 now.
Craftsman tools are a GREAT bargain in the long run!
Us tomboys love power tools. Yum!
Decades ago, I bought a flexy grabber thing from HF. Last week, a friend told me a redwinged blackbird had kamikazed the grill on his Ford pickup. He was preparing to remove the entire front of his ford to retrieve the corpse and the broken grill piece. I lent him the tool, and he bought my lunch and beer. Heck, that was more than the price of the tool.
Give me a Sharper Image catalog anyday!
Tsk tsk RTFirefly…if you have to use a crowbar, you’re definitely doing something wrong.
And what are the racoons waking you up in the middle of the night for!!! You don’t mean…Racoon Porn?!?! :eek:
But I do agree that Pina Coladas are a far cry closer than a crowbar for the right way to do it.
Big Lots = McFrugal’s = Spatula City
Well put. I’ll go to Harbor Freight for a few things like wheels, moving dollys, etc. But for major tools I’ll stick with Proto, Porter Cable, DeWalt, Delta, Makita etc. Might get a sandblast cabinet there but…
I’ll make rare exceptions. I got a Chinese made, Coleman (?!) branded 18v drill but only because it was $40. If it lasts the warranty period it will be a good deal. Everyone needs a few tools that they aren’t afraid to loan out.
Mmmmm…
Restoration Hardware Catalogs…

If you really want tools and stuff, you have to go to McMaster-Carr The catalog is almost four inches thick, andn they have everything but condoms. Well, maybe I just haven’t found the condom page yet.
