Unfortunately, I don't. I only have a third of an acre and most of it is off limits due to road setback and the shape of the road. I'm currently trying carve out enough space for a 10x12 shed for my lawn tractor and it's not looking promising.

I have zero interest in becoming a landlord, especially with someone I don't know living right next to the things I'm trying to keep safe and secure. I appreciate the suggestion, but it's not for me.

I have a Milwaukee M18 vacuum I bought because I was tired of dragging the shop vacuum out for small jobs. It works well for those things, but it's not as convenient as a stick vac would be. You have to carry it around like a suitcase in one hand and use the hose with the other. I got the big...

The cost is one of my reasons for looking at buying vs. renting. Rent is about $2k a month which is expensive in my opinion. And when I leave, I would get nothing. Buying is super expensive (more than my house), but I would get it back when I sell in a few years. That also doesn't put a clock on...

I've read the few threads on this subject, but haven't found what I'm looking for. I have a small 2 car garage and it barely fits the 2 cars I have to keep inside. There's certainly no room to work. I don't have enough land to build a shop, so I'm looking for solutions. The ideal solution would...

Good call. I took a closer look and I had missed the zero. It is indeed a krl7022.

After transferring my tools from my old makeshift storage solution (vintage bank cabinets), I realized 2 things: 1) several of the drawers are very shallow and only appropriate for thin hand tools laid flat, and 2) I severely underestimated my storage needs. 2 tends to be a universal problem...

Thanks, Boogerman. This box won't move unless I move houses, so I'm not worried about needing to keep the drawers latched shut. As long as they stay closed on their own on a flat surface, that's all I need. Thanks for the chart. It looks like mine was built in early 2017.

I'll leave them for a little while, mainly because I'm lazy. But I did find a YouTube video showing how to remove. It's really easy so I can pull them at any time. One other question for the GJ experts: is there anyway I can determine the manufacture date from the label on the back?

He dropped down to 2k and I took it.

Edit: Correction, it is a KRL7022. So it was a KRL722 and it was practically perfect; barely even used. He had the keys, owner's portfolio, the un-installed side handle, and even the plastic cover it was shipped with. We agreed on a price and I came home with it. It's deeper than suggested...

Hi all, I need to upgrade my tool storage to match a lot of newly acquired tools. I'm considering several new options from big box store products to Tekton and several in between. However, I ran across this used Snap-On box for sale down the road from me. The ad doesn't give any details on it...

Does Tekton stock their boxes anywhere? The 48 and 60" tool boxes are very tempting, but I'm not willing to order something that expensive without having seen it first. I'm in Central Alabama, but I travel around the country several times a year for work. It'd be nice if there was somewhere...

Steevo and those of you who have been inspired by his design: how does this set up work for you in terms of drawer access while working at the bench? Does accessing the drawers in front of you cause constant shuffling about as you work, or is the immediate access natural and helpful? I'm...

So I was able to spend enough time in the garage at one time to let it get to a full charge. At that point, the amber light turned off. Not an unexpected result, but I'm glad to have confirmation. I haven't been able to use it long enough to run it down, but I imagine the red light either...
