Afternoon everyone. Not too many plans today, with the Z or otherwise. Lots of relaxing and waiting for the week to start so all of my goodies can be delivered

Esco jacks are definitely not from HF. There is only a few things at HF worth buying. If a one off job ill never use the tool for again, HF all the way. If I plan on using it twice, ill buy something good. That said, there is a good thread on garagejournal about pass/fail items from HF. Their Daytona floor jacks are awesome. In fact snap on sued them because they are identical.

You can get a decent fan at that place

Esco stands are top notch

HF is hit or miss. Some things like the Daytona floor jack is the best deal on a quality jack you can find. They have a ton of throw away tools but they have some stuff that is fairly decent. The Icon line is pretty good if they have a coupon going. They are as good as Tekton or any other middle of the road wrench or socket. It's priced about the same as Tekton but they have 20% coupons every now and then.

One thing I do not like about the icon wrenches I have is they mar the heck out of a fastener.

It should be ok as long as I just do nothing but my daily reports. I can breeze though those in a few minutes. The little man in the hard drive doesn't start banging on the door for a good 20 min :lol:
