Any other thoughts?

I have a couple smaller bags, but I'm looking for some that are around 20" in length for longer items. I do like the tool rolls, and am using them. They are stashed in one of the shorter bags. I like being able to grab a bag with most of the items I will need, rather than going to and from the...

Just a simple tool bag, like this one, to store tools, gloves, recovery gear, most things a person would keep in a truck. I'm pretty open to the bag design, but I can't find one that is near my dimensional needs. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BFHED0/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I have a Truck Vault and I'd like to better organize my tools, camping gear, etc. I'd like to find some tool bags that fit the width of the drawers very well and minimize wasted space. My problem is finding one with the width but still being narrow/short enough to clear the height. The drawers...

I called HF and they could only offer the 5 pack. Since they apparently do not fit on the side lockers, I bought a couple cam locks from McMaster (item 1770A523, $6.32 each). They worked well, but I had to slightly enlarge the mounting hole of the locking bars inside the locker. So now matching...

Thanks guys. I'll probably end up getting or making individual carts for each welder. I already ordered the HF torch cart for $53ish shipped to me. Hereis what I have now, sorta of cramped.

So I purchased a second HF end cabinet to hang off my toolbox. They have different keys. I asked HF if they sell new locks, but they do not. Does anyone know if these are a standard type of lock? If so, where are these available? I see some on amazon and other places, but I'm not sure if they...

Millermatic 211

A question for the guys with multiple welders I guess. When I bought my first welder, I made a decent sized (30"x48"ish), 3 shelf cart where I could place my welder, 80ci tank, oxy/ace torch w 80ci tanks, and a work surface on top. Well, since then I've added a vise and a grinder on top, and...

Forgot to reply, but yeah the switch is stuck closed. I sent an email to HF asking if they sell a new one. There are a couple other items I want to replace, like the shroud around the power switch and wing nut for belt tensioner. The motor does move back and forth, but just not as much as I...

Well, I think they did in the beginning, not necessarily from the backorder. They had Miller gloves listed and they were part of the $100 in accessories I purchased. Turns out the gloves were discontinued and they removed it from my order. After that my total was under $100 and the customer...

Now Zoro says the 211 is back ordered till at least 1/30. I may not of even been able to write down the serial number on the rebate form if Zoro hadn't already screwed up my chances of fulfilling it. Bummer

So I found this old HF standing drill press (model 43389) for cheap and bought it. The power switch to the motor and light do not work, but everything turns on when the power cord is plugged into a socket. Right now I just have it plugged into a foot pedal switch and have been using it that way...

Do you know when they are more likely to offer free shipping? I want a 2nd tank, but don't need it so I'll keep an eye out.

You can get a good idea based on height.
