Having recently inherited an impact wrench, I noticed Harbor Freight has deep well impact sockets on sale. $19.99 for your choice of SAE or Metric. I picked up a set of each this morning.

Are they EVER going to finish remodeling on the Lakewood store? Seems like it's been years.

No idea. Morning all.

Wish I had a garage so I could get an impact wrench.

They just moved it to that location...it used to be in the building next door, which is now that big pile of busted concrete you saw.

We live little less than a half mile from there.

Has it been as long as it seems? Probably not, but every time I go there it looks like no progress.

My estimates of time are not worth much, but I know they were still in the other store the last time FTE sent out a mass (or spam, if you prefer ) email for a free flashlight...so I'm thinking they moved last Fall/Winter.

Neither of those stores have ever been what I'd call organized.

Que bueno que estan practicando espanol, me da oportunidad para usar el mio. Grasias a los dos.

Thanks guys I practice very little, wish I had taken some pictures yesterday. I put my super duty to work on bbq duty. I loaded it up with a nice sized propane grill, 6 ice chests, a lot of chairs and random supplies. I spent about 2 hrs unloading and preping and about 30 minutes loading it back up after I was done. Had an assembly line going when I loaded it back up and well there was a lot less weight after everyone ate and drank everything LOL. Turned out to be a good weekend, hope everyone else had a good one.
