Nice! I’d love to find one of those intermediate boxes some day.

For sale in Minnesota. Pair of Shure cabinets. Selling together for $600. Each cabinet is 5’ tall, 26” wide and 12” deep. Each comes with two shelves. These are not mine. A good friend of mine recently found these and brought them to my attention. He knows I’m passionate about this stuff and...

I would guarantee those are not friction slides. I have one of these 40” service carts like this at my work. It absolutely has ball bearing slides. I believe they were done with friction slides by the late 90’s? I got mine used a few years ago in very nice condition for $1000 at a local pawn...

I found this one about two years ago. At the time I had a smaller version also. I eagerly began stripping the paint in plans of a full restoration on it. It had been repainted numerous times over the years and the stripping turned into a really time consuming operation. Half way though that...

Those long handles always make me think Shure.

I bought the Impacta after reading numerous glowing reviews of it. The main thing I was intending to use it for was removing the “screws” that hold brake rotors in place. I have NEVER been successful with it for that purpose. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed. Perhaps that application isn’t...

Wow! Almost a year?!? That went by fast. Very impressive results with an uncompromising eye for detail. I’m sure many people will be inspired by this build.

Seems pretty steep for a fairly common set-up.

Lincoln service merchandiser work bench. Bench only. Sat outside for a number of years but still fairly solid. I used to see Lincoln workstations missing the original bench pretty frequently so I kept it assuming one might eventually fall into my lap. No such luck for me but maybe for you? I...

This was an unexpected surprise. Last night I was going to bed just after midnight. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this in my Facebook Marketplace listings. It had been listed just two hours earlier. Before I even had time to think I responded saying I would take it and could come get...

I feel like I see these at swaps pretty frequently. They are definitely cool looking but I’ve yet to be sold on a good practical use for one.

I’m happy to see the end of the factory installed drawer dividers. I’ve drilled out the spot welds and removed those on several older boxes just to get what I need into them.

I have been professionally working on cars for over 25 years. About half my sockets are Snap-on, most of which were included in a starter set I bought from them in Vo-tech. At the time I was just starting out and didn’t have money to buy ALL Snap-on so I rounded out my sets with mostly Craftsman...

I looked into getting the 46” version of this a couple years ago. Unfortunately “supply chain issues” kept any from ever being on the show floor at my local Home Depot. I didn’t want to buy without seeing one in person first. So I waited and found a used S.O. Having mostly auto mechanic tools...

I flipped one of those about 5 years ago. A co-worker was leaving the field and was desperate to sell so I bought it from him. It was too much box for me to bring home so I sold it. It was blue in color with a stainless top. IIRC I got $4250 for it and was happy to make a really quick sale.
