Im not familiar with the air hoses, but Ill have to check them out too. I have a bunch of goodyear air hose that I picked up for free when I worked at good year.

Morris, I dont really buy lots of tools from there either. I do buy things like crowbars, hammers, axe's, stuff like that.

Im a little weary of the ratchets and sockets and whatnot. I am starting to buy more and more tools from canadian tire, with the warranty, and the price, they are the perfect fit for a guy like me!

I don't buy any tools from there usually either. But I got some nice heavy duty rubber wheel blocks and a spare tire mount for the boat trailer this spring. For stuff like that there are really good.

That's the mallet you lend to the neighbor. He breaks it then replaces it with the 15 dollar one.

That`s the very first thing I ever learned and it was real quick too...never lend a vehicle out that you really like!
I did that with a 68 red and white F100 Ranger I fixed up nicely exactly to my liking years back. It ended up with a phone call saying that I should sell it to him. That seemed ok at the time but then I couldn`t find a good replacement, nice F100`s where scarce for a while back then.

In all seriousness i know what ya mean. I will lend my vehicle out to someone if they are in need, or if they wanna do a vehicle swap with a vehicle of the same caliber. But an old resto car or truck, I could maybe let someone else drive it, but not lend it out!

I hate to borrow or lend, though very seldom sometimes it just has to happen.
