I haven't tried to fire it up yet, I wanted to make sure there is nothing pre-startup I could do to insure nothing bad will happen to this borrowed machine.

I guess I should have said that as well, that was one of the ones that was on par in my mind with swapping the 2 year old gas. But thanks for looking out for me.

I have a pressure washer that a buddy left with me when he moved up north and couldn't store it anymore. He told me to feel free to use it, but it has sat for about 2 years unused. Other than swapping out the fuel, is there anything I should do before I fire it up, or things I should look for...

The flip side of this is what gets me. I see it on Craigslist all the time, someone will put "I'm trying to sale my toolbox." You are trying to "sell" your toolbox, you have a toolbox for "sale" argh. This^^^ And this^^^

Sorry I thought you were talking about tools in general. I know there has been some talk about their quality going down recently, but I have a full set of Klein screwdrives that I love. They've stayed quite sharp for going on 8 years now, and while they don't get the use they once did, they have...

If you keep a good eye on eBay you can find some great deals on full craftsman sets for a good deal. A few years back I picked up a 300 piece professional tool set for $250 on eBay, still in box, that kit retails for around $700. If your patient there are some killer deals out there.

I've just got the old Bosch box, bought back in '04 and put it through hell when I was doing construction, now it's got a nice little retirement hanging on the wall, still sounds great.

Try here, and don't forget to search or just look around a bit.

When you post a new thread there is a drop down box at the bottom of he screen that allows you to subscribe to the thread, and should notify you every time someone reply's to that thread. I don't know how to do it retroactively on this forum, but that's how to do it on new ones.

That is awesome, I wish I had the skill set and equipment to machine stuff like that. Great job!

Sweet shop man, I just went threw all 54 pages, jealous for sure. The vintage craftsman stuff is killer, I wish I could find stuff like that around here, I scour Craigslist and never see anything that nice. Good work!

Almost every firefighter I work with carries at least 2 either streamlights or pelican lights. That should tell you something about their ruggedness. I've had mine in more structures fires than I can count and it hasn't melted and still works great. Plus they both have EXCELLENT customer...

You guys that fix lawn equipment, where do you find the busted stuff? Just driving around and find it? CL? This is something I'd like to try, but am having a hard time finding the broke stuff lol.

^^^ Seems legit.

I have red, but only because it was a hand-me-down, personally I really like the look of the white with black trim, I've seen a few of those on here, and man they look sharp, IMO. If I had the money to buy a new big box that's what I'd get, sure it's harder to keep clean, but its like a black...
