Went to Harbor Freight to check out the last of the Black Friday deals. Walked away with more than I’d planned lol. I did get my coworker a Christmas present though he is just starting out and always takes me to lunch and is saving for a new car so I got him a nice sturdy tool bag/tote type thing. A set of chrome metric deep Pittsburgh Pro sockets and a magnetic tray and small knife like I have here. Forgot to take a picture before I put it in my car though lol. The rest of this is for me with the exception of the gift card which is for my secret Santa recipient on another forum that we do secret Santa on. These new green gloves that are 5 mil are supposed to be better than the cheap blue ones they have. The blue were good until a few years ago when they cheapened them. These green ones are supposed to be better at least according to what it says and what the reviews say. The blue gloves I have to admit I paid the $2 for because they look awesome lol. Needed a new set of work gloves and who can pass up a .97 cent bottle opener? Not me I need a fancy bottle opener lol. They completely redone my Harbor Freight location. Now they have a code for the bathroom too and moved everything around inside lol. It was fine how it was.
 
Who can pass up a (fill in the blank with anything)? Anyone who doesn't spend money just for the chance to spend money on things they don't really need and usually don't really want other than the devil on their shoulder can convince them it's smart to throw away money on it.

Will you be using the green gloves at work? Or does your employer provide disposable gloves for the shop employees?
 
Looks like the new, improved 9" long swivel Impacts in 3/8" drive may soon be available from AP. They were briefly shown on Amazon for $132 for a set of 10pc, ranging from 10-19mm.

$60 for 8 pliers, with a "hassle free" lifetime warranty, is an attractive deal.

There were some reports in '21 of the tips being poorly formed. Granted, it was a small sample and could have been a production glitch that's been corrected

I'm not arguing for or against.....
