Home Hardware Tools

Post by Troubleshot »

After being subjected to about a thousand Home Hardware commercials while watching Hockey Night In Canada I have to ask the question....Is there one fucking tool these guys make that is useful !! I laugh every week when they put out a new "gem" , like this weeks self tensioning vise grips...please...and not only that!! you see them in the commercial using them on a perfectly good bolt head or nut, when any self-respecting person would use a goddam wrench or socket that is the perfect size .....what a concept !!

At least there cheap enough you don't mind butchering the tools to make your homemade jobbies!

Actually I think Canadian Tire has a lot more gadgets that are useless than anywhere else. :P

I bought those Home Hardware self tensioning vise grips. It works good as a hammer.

Canadian Tire is good for air freshners and floor mats.

If you ever are looking at a car for sale and you see a CDN Tire oil filter on it just walk away.
