I have several Graco hose reels - I started my engineering career there and ended up with a few before I left. Side note: That place was an awesome place to work. 3 shops outfitted with them, and I can say, the best move in my opinion is to locate near an overhead door. If you have multiples...

When I saw 75% of contractors in residential and commercial applications slinging Milwaukee it was an easy call for me. Plus the market saturation of M18 tools allows me to score some craigslist/etc deals and gives me comfort in long term support.

Im looking to pickup the earthquake 1/2" impact. On sale right now for 99.99. Is this as good as it gets? Looks the like the 20% coupons cannot be used on earthquake stuff.

I loan tools to my friends, but they usually come back in better shape.. full of gas, oil change, some surface rust buffed out etc.. I have no problem with tools to friends, but family is a different story.. no dice there. Although, we have a small tradition going for some tools.. goes a...

Spoken for, Pending Pick Up

Sounds good. If I do not get any hits locally I will get in touch to discuss shipping.

An old friend retired and is moving from MN to AZ. He had quite a load of old tools that he couldn't take along and a die filer was one of the left behind tools. I have no use, and cannot think of a future use. I would hate to see another old piece of machinery go to the scrap yard. It works...

Good idea on the ammo box. I need to see if I can find one big enough.

I am in Minnesota. I dont care about the brand. As long as its roughly 30" long and in usable shape. I want a one piece lid to. I figured the guy getting the nice box could pay for shipping :) I really just need a solid box to mount on a tractor and dont want the "Tool Gods" to strike down with...

Yep. Don't they all?

Hey guys, semi-weird post here. I am not a big fan of the carry style tool boxes, they work well, but I prefer tool bags. I ran across a nice old craftsman and knowing that there are people out there that like these things I figured it would be best to share before it was put to use (and...

My beer holders... I have been collecting them for a while. I am finishing up my e-tank setup so I can start the restoration process. There is a 5th little guy in the background..

I have a three stall at home, ~ 35 feet. The real shop is on my farm, 232,320 ft.

I use "Super Clean Foaming Degreaser". Comes in a purple spray bottle. My local O'Reillys carries it. I have used it on several greased up tool boxes, small engines, 2-stroke residue on snowmobile belly pans etc and I am happy with it every time. I even use it in the kitchen when oil or grease...

Not really a coupon, but the HF in Minneapolis has (at least they did yesterday) a side cabinet (#68785) for the 42" box with some damage, all cosmetic. They had a handwritten tag for $99. Clerk told me they would probably deal on the price. I dont have the space, otherwise I would have bought...
