    Paint close to Lista AND Miller blue?

    Keep in mind that Lista "Classic Blue" and "Bright Blue" are two different colors. Classic blue has more of a grey tint to it. I too would love if someone could recommend a color that is available off the shelf for Classic Blue. I have tried many and none are close enough.

    Swing Out Carriage Door Openers - Any Experience?

    I was thinking that too but what I am finding is the problem with "gate" openers is that most are designed to be swing in applications whereas I need the doors to swing out. I found some that swing out as well but it looks like the operator for those are intended to be mounted on the exterior...

    Swing Out Carriage Door Openers - Any Experience?

    Buying a new U.S. General Series 3 or Icon from Harbor Freight vs. a used Snap-On or Matco toolbox

    A Rosseau's comp is an Epic, not a Classic. And in most regards it blows that Epic out of the water.

    Buying a new U.S. General Series 3 or Icon from Harbor Freight vs. a used Snap-On or Matco toolbox

    I'd put my money on a 15 year old Lista with the older style roller bearings over a SO Epic dollar for dollar all day long (looks aside). Like I mentioned above, this is why they can be picked up cheap on the used market- most people don't know about them. There is a reason why industrial...

    Buying a new U.S. General Series 3 or Icon from Harbor Freight vs. a used Snap-On or Matco toolbox

    This is the best advise on this thread imo. These boxes are built better than any tool truck brand. Not flashy, your friends won't care (unless they know), and you'll have more trouble with support from the manufacture- BUT, You could spec a Lista or a Rousseau for less than the prices of new...

    Koken Z-series 3756z vs Nepros NBE38 Which do you guys prefer for a 3/8 drive quick spinner? These would pair with Koken z-series ratchets. What do ya think? Keep it all in the family with the Koken or is the Nepros nicer (looks nicer in photos at least)

    Zoro Deals Thread

    Does anyone have a 20% code they could pm me? Either these aren't transferable or people aren't posting when they are used. Could also be that the items in my cart are ineligible too I guess? Thanks in advance!
