    What do you guys & gals do to save money?

    When you want a new toy, sell your other toys to buy the new one. It baffles me that people are so willing to hold on to their stuff they pay a monthly fee to have it stored to never ever use it again.

    well I got my marine mechanics Apprenticeship

    Most of my work I can get accomplished with a tool bag. Everything else that gets used ever so often is on the tool wall/box. Always have a dedicated 1/2" socket wrench with a 1 1/16" socket. That will be your prop nut wrench. Makita compact drill is a very nice tool as well...

    Craftsman Backpack

    Craftsman Backpack

    I had been thinking about purchasing a tool backpack for sometime now. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choices out there, but I found this one at Sears for $44.99 that seemed to be pretty solid(even though made in China). There was one at Lowe's, not sure what brand, but the reviews...

    I don't think anyone here has mentioned Kobalt. I don't have much experience with them, but they look really nice and most are made in the US. The prices are fair enough to not break the bank as well.

    Help identifying tool/use

    My father in law gave me a box of random tools that were his dads and I found this. Im guessing its used to clean something but I've never seen anything like it, so I have no idea what its used for exactly. It has no markings other than "Japan". Anyone know what it is?
