Super helpful, thanks guys. Yes @cannuck it's tough to find info up here. I get a giggle when they talk about furnaces in Arizona. Thanks @billconner yes frost gets about 6-8 feet here depending on the year. Thankfully no permafrost like a little further north. Trying to avoid digging down that...

Will be building a shop here in Manitoba, Canada. A few Q's about the slab: -What is the required R value under the slab (heated or unheated). I always see "inches" of insulation, but not R value. -Is GPS (graphite board) suitable? -What footing depth/protection is required to avoid frost...

PS I just came across another great 12pt master set offerer on Amazon. You guys have inspired me to dig deeper. Zenith. Chinese, but a nice cheap option. I think I'm personally going to grab a 3/8" drive metric Zenith set (6mm-24mm) to patch me through until the Tektons come in. The Tekton's...

Yes exactly. Master set being a "complete set" namely no skips and a comprehensive size array. For example 3/8 to 1.5" on each increment. Not 3/8 to 3/4 like these piddly sets often have. And no skips is important. For example many metric sets skip 16mm. If you've ever worked on a Volkswagen...

Wow! Tekton you beauties! Thanks for finding that Chevy, their site was down earlier today and I hadn't checked their stuff in the last 4-6mths. Wonderful!

I'm working on the last few missing pieces to fill my new tool chest, and having a hell of a time finding a master set of 12 point sockets. I'm looking for 1/4, and 3/8 drive to match your standard Hansen socket rails. Both SAE and Metric. For 1/2" drive I'm looking for 3/8 - 1.5" in 1/16...

Milton Shaw trust me that's 100% on the list of things to do. I still need to figure out how those regulators work (I know they build ready buy auto-tire fillers too). A bit confusing to me (still apprentice!). Good idea with the welding crimps.

Got a link Duckface? NM I see it now. Ya that's like the one in my original pic. But I want like 5 feet of hose out the air out so I can keep my distance while filling. Also should have 2 feet of hose from the screw on stem adapter to any additional fittings for obstruction free weaving...

Cobbler that's a great idea! Do the threads match? Wonder how well it would attach to an air hose. The ones I'm seeing have varying other ends. Will have to look deeper on this. Duckface think you're missing the point. I'm just looking for the adapters/chucks/screw on bit, not extensions. I...

I'm looking for the screw on adapter/chucks that are on the bottom right of this picture. The one that's crimped onto the air line, that screws onto your valve stem. I work in a heavy truck shop and am trying to build screw on adapters at varying angles (straight, 45*, 90*, 135, straight...

Thanks so much NUTTSGT. The more I dig the more I get that impression. Order once for the year and sell out. I asked the Home Depot and they have NOT discontinued the Husky box, just sold out. So they say there will be some more in stock sometime. Phew. I'm not in a rush so I can wait.

I've been looking for the widest single bank tool chest for a full tool buy I'm planning. The Husky 66" looks the closest to my needs. Trouble is, it seems sold out everywhere. HD, Amazon, Ebay, etc. Can't find any available. I dug deeper and it seems this exact same box design is also sold by...

Angry_Beaver some good questions for me to answer, appreciate the feedback. The reason for a fewer--but larger--drawer design is simple: organization. I agree with Adam Savage when he says "Drawers are where tools go to die". The more drawers, the more dead tools. If I need to punch...

thecj3man Give you $200 for it so you can double your money! :lol: That's a very similar socket drawer layout I'm planning. Metric one side, Imperial the other. 12pt back of drawer, 6pt in front. All on color coordinated Olsa/Hansen socket trays. Ratchets, extensions, adaptors, swivels in...

Thanks PNWguy. Doesn't need to be that heavy duty for my application. Just hand tools. Agree, it's sounding like a unicorn, but getting closer!
