I have been getting the 'fatal error' message when I click the lets see your toolbox thread. Thought maybe the thread was too big??? Also dont see the pages listed in the thread listing. 1 2 3 4 LAST isnt there anymore.

Exactly. We've all made do with our little tool kits, figuring out what we really need and why along the way. Then we add the correct tool as needed. You may have never needed a 12 point in your life, but when you do, you'll know.

12 points will fit the square end of a tap to chase threads in tight places.

A ball pien hammer. Most people say "Well I have tools." but when I show up to give them a hand, their tools consist of a rusty, chinese, sae only, socket set w half the sockets missing. The ratchet works fantastic in one direction only. By the time I say do you have a hammer and chisel, I am...

Now that'll get the lid off the pickle jar!!! NIIIICCCEEE!

Thanks Kapster. The model number I see these go by is KR7100-c, but mine says KR7100-b. It's stamped with a 1991 or 92 date. I saw these for the first time about 12 yrs ago and decided I had to have one. Found this one on C-L last year for a thousand bucks but the link was screwed up. By the...

That looks like it. But mine came in black and looked and felt like the factory S/O ones. I paid about $35 for a roll at a discount flooring store. Even at $62, it would have been worth it to me as I had 14 large drawers and 5 shelves to line. The small C/man box beside it, I had lined with the...

Ive had the same problem and tried everything from wd40 to spray on waxes. The best oil ive found is Marvel Mystery Oil in a spray bottle. I had my old snap on top chest in my service truck for about 4 winters and it probably had less rust on it when I took it out. When I bought it, it was used...

Scored this box today for free. Its been sitting under a workbench since I was hired 6 yrs ago and who knows how long before that. No emblem on it and I never wanted to seem too interested but it turns out its a 1959 kr-58b. All parts are there and in great shape. I would leave the patina if...

WOW! Ur gonna need a labeler!

After searching for years, I finally found THE ONE. Repainted the drawer fronts and in the process of all new slides. My S/O guy didnt believe it was a S/O box. Room hasnt been an issue, just an excuse to buy more tools!

Never trust any lifting device. That is the key to keeping safe. Have a plan to lift and get it to the ground, stand, or cribbing asap w/out getting under it. OSHA says a lifting device must have a safety rating 1.5x its load capacity. Meaning your chain fall should be built to withstand one and...

I may be preachin to an empty room here, but what ive found to work the best on my tools is Marvel Mystery Oil in a spray bottle. Tried a bunch of different oils [kroil, wd, pb] and they all seemed to leave a strong chemical odor. This stuff doesnt smell bad, is part solvent, contains lube for...

I use mine daily to remove/run in bolts on heavy rotating equip. Useful when you have hundreds of sockets, and only one 3/8 air ratchet.

Hi. Long time lurker, first time poster. Sounds like alot of you are having the same issues I did when I picked up my s/o box off CL. Its a 14 drawer 5 shelf "Coke Machine" that the prev owner lined with cardboard. All of the liner mats or rolls I looked at werent big enough or way too...
