I'd put the 18' Oliver on your list as well. Sturdier and better clearance than the Basecamp. Don't know what the wait times are right now, but occasionally you can luck up on a used one.

lol, true. The Air Head does look like a nice alternative though - I wasn't aware of them when we got ours. I should say also that I was never able to get the right mix with coco coir and it always seemed too wet and made the handle hard to turn. We ended up switching to peat, which is much...

We have a nature's head in a wet bath and have had no issues.

Bears carry can openers on their paws, so, no. It's interesting that only two specific zarges boxes are certified. I wonder if that's all they submitted, or all that passed. I wish the IGBC would publish a list of boxes/coolers that failed the bear test. I know a bear would have a hard...

Cool - hope you enjoy it. I have both the ½ and ⅜ and have never had any trouble on either recognizing the click. Super easy to set, reliable and sturdy. It's an especially good choice if you only use torque wrenches sporadically because you don't have to worry when you pull it out of a...

Well, I don't think you know what you want. First you want the best digital you can find for your budget, then you buy a cheapy clicker, then you pretend you just bought that on a lark, and that you need something super accurate, then you say you don't care about accuracy and only care about...

Here's the salient point that you missed: you've been given good advice that you won't take.

Is there a missing part of that article? I don't see where they actually compare the different wrenches.

Gotta love a thread that begins with asking for an equivalent to a $600 digital Snap On, and ends with 'Thanks all, but I got a sweet $9.95 deal in the parking lot of a Harbor Freight'.

In campgrounds, it's mostly little stuff that will get stolen. Too many eyes and too much of a chance that you'll be driving in any minute for someone to try to steal something big like a tent. On the contrary, I've known people with rooftop tents who would completely dismantle their campsite...

No, but Snap On rebrands those same wrenches and charges $400 for them. In your price range, those are the best torque wrenches you can buy.

I haven't seen much in the way of reviews for the iKamper, other than the initial gee-whiz press reviews. They don't get a ton of activity on their forum, and we don't see much mention of them here either, so I wonder exactly how many there are out there. One thing that turned me off about...

Call Partner Steel. They're really good about making up custom bits. Will likely cost more than having something made locally but it will save you a lot of effort and you'll know it will be done right.

LOL, if you're serious, I'll do it. I've been putting off a fridge purchase for a couple months hoping for a deal.

Throw a 60L fridge in the pile while your at it. With a cover and mounting plate, if you don't mind.
