    Icon vs Tekton combination wrenches

    Not a full time wrench user, but the only open end wrench I have ever spread was a Snap On. IIRC it was 1/2 or 9/16. Not hating on Snap On. Got a Snap on basic mechanics SAE set over 50 years ago at a special price through High School auto shop. Cost was about 1/3 of retail. They have...

    Side cabinet ??? Harbor Freight Series 3

    I think at least temporarily I'll use one of the HF dollies. I might even have one around. I forgot that I have a file cabinet on a HF dolly. Thanks again for all the suggestions.

    Side cabinet ??? Harbor Freight Series 3

    Thank you all for some great suggestions. The side cabinet will for the most part be stationary, most likely at the end of a workbench with a narrow space to fill. Would only be moved if layout changed. No welding or heavy metal working equipment, but my first thought was a frame much like...

    Looking for a Source for Butcher Block Bench Top

    The one you referenced from Global appears to be a good product and with the the sale price I doubt you good make one for much less. Boo's has a good reputation and their products look great as well. If I were in need of one, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at that price. One of the workbench...

    Side cabinet ??? Harbor Freight Series 3

    Just ordered a HF US general 15" six drawer side cabinet. Will be here in about a month or so. I plan to use it as a stand alone side cabinet. Is anyone else using a series 3 side cabinet in a stand alone manner? I want to get it off the floor, but don't want to use castors as I link it...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    Thank you for the pricing info on the M12 inflator. And everyone for their input. Will most likely use the M12 as a light duty inflator for topping off car tires, bike tires, and sports balls. I don't have any M18 platform tools or batteries and have been trying to avoid adding that platform...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    I'm considering getting the Milwaukee M12 12-Volt Portable Inflator No. 2475-20. Home Depot has it available for $99.00. Is that a good price, or is it frequently available for less? Thank you.

    First work bench. I’m inexperienced. Looking for suggestions and advice on optimizing this workbench.

    Below is a link to a Seville Classics workbench that has a pegboard back with a shelf and task light for an idea if you want to attach pegboard to your bench. The pegboard on this bench attaches to a couple of uprights that attach to the back of the back legs. If you're rolling the bench...

    TPI for cutting strut channel

    Thank you everyone for the insight. Will have both 18 and 24 TPI hacksaw blades on hand. Good link. I hadn't seen that before. Please don't ban me from GJ. I do have a corded portable band saw, but that would not be helpful in this situation with out power available. I also have a very...

    TPI for cutting strut channel

    Have a situation which will require the use of a hacksaw to make a few field cuts in strut channel. No power or generator on sight to power equipment or a battery powered tool to use. For the few cuts that needed to be made (2-4) I've elected to use a hacksaw. Looking for recommendations for...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Powr-Kraft 5 inch vise. Montgomery Wards brand. Anybody knows who may have manufactured these, and approximate time frame? Needs some work, but it is going to be awhile before I can get at it.

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    About 200 miles from me and round trip would be a full day, but if I had room, and the time I'd make the trip. Have invested more for less in the past. Besides I have far too many unfinished projects. It's Indiana, so my guess is corn.

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    No dog in this hunt, but stumbled on this on EB for anyone that might be interested. MB Century top and roller. Was $195 yesterday and now $185. If I had the time and space for it, I'd probably go for it. Pick up only, about 25 miles west of Indy...
