I've had good luck with all the tool I've bought. Most of my stuff is around the house repairs etc. Name brand tools usually are not required.
I've got a small air compressor that has served well for tires, inflatable toys etc. Disposable stuff like bungee cords, rope, zip ties, Ratchet hold down straps, Duck Tape and the like are usually cheap and do the job.

Not any more. If you open the box the tool is in, you now have to get approval to return it.

Never trust your life to ANY jack. That's why they make jack stands.

Also, if you pick up theirs sale paper in the store, there is a coupon for 20% off any one item.

Can save you some $$$ if your buying something more expensive.

do you lay under cars with just the jack supporting it? I do not even work on the wheels or brakes without jack stands. Roommate from college had his Bug fall on his arm. Good thing his dad was close by.

Elliot's may be a little more expensive but if you can't find it anywhere else, they got it. Love that store.

I wish I had bought Earthquake brand instead of SnapOn. The Earthquake always says compare to snapon. I paid over $3000 for the 1/2 12v impact, 3/8 12v impact, the keyless drill, mini impact driver, and the drill/driver, 5 batteries, and a bank charger.

All I do is send them in and PAY to get em fixed. I could have the same [censored] for a fraction of the costs with Earthquake.
