Howdy, folks! Red Beard here, your friendly neighborhood tool bear. Today, we took a stroll through our local NAPA store, and boy, did we find some interesting things. Join me on this walkthrough of the retail side of NAPA, where tools meet convenience.
As we entered, the place was bustling, but it quickly cleared out. Strange, right? Anyway, NAPA is known for its auto parts, but they also have a retail section up front. Let’s dive in and explore what they offer.
First up, fuel treatments and additives from Pennzoil and Valvoline. Need some Sea Foam? They’ve got it. And check out the variety of adhesives, epoxies, and tapes. Plus, a range of grease guns, backup lights, and trailer couplers.
Batteries galore! NAPA boasts a good selection, though the prices on some lights were a bit steep. Quality, yes, but you might find better deals online.
Now, let’s talk about cleaning. Looking for a pressure washer soap? They’ve got options, but Red Beard seeks recommendations for a low-sudsing soap. Help a bear out!
Moving on to diagnostics equipment, NAPA offers OBD-II readers and more. Air tools, anyone? Their selection, including the budget-friendly NAPA brand, caught our eye. Compact and affordable!
Hand tools are a must. EverCraft, NAPA’s house brand, is budget-friendly. However, the selection seemed a tad sparse. But fear not, Carlisle, their Pro Mechanics brand, steps up the game. Not Snap-On quality, but a solid mid-tier option. Keep an eye out for sales!
Wrapping it up with a glimpse of wipers, wires, and more. NAPA may be your go-to for auto parts, but their retail side packs a punch. Whether you’re a DIYer or a pro, they’ve got tools and essentials to keep you rolling.
That’s it for today’s walkthrough. Stay tuned, as Red Beard might just add some Carlisle tools to the Den of Tools. Until then, shine on, folks!
