I seriously doubt it but if they do, I have a good one for them... My first cordless drill. Bought it new in the early 90's back when tools still came in metal boxes. Makita 7.2v is was an awesome drill, hence why I've never been able to bring myself to get rid of it even though its long...

Depends on your purpose and needs? I have a need for the exact cabinet for a specific spot and purpose in my wood shop so considering the price vs new (even with the dent on the back), I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Would I buy it to be my one and only mechanics tool box or for a tool...

TVs in the garage seem to be the new fad? A bunch of my neihbors have them (hell the guy who owned my house before me had one) but I have no interest in that. If I want to watch TV, I'll go into the house. If I'm in the garage its to get something done or because I'm going somewhere. If I want...

Yes, I have them but my prefered drive is the SnapOn ratching drivers... The problem with the bits is trying to use them with most other non-chapman drivers is the nub on the end of them. It does not allow them to be fulling inserted into most other drivers... This is as far in as they can...

Thanks I'm getting some Milwaukee packout wall components for Christmas so I'll be able to play around with it some and see how much I like it before investing more money into the system. Looks like I will probably have to find a different solution for the rocket light which isn't a big deal...

Cool deal - thanks for the info. Direct link... TMR Customs SMALL Stand Storage Rack - PAIR

What are you using to hold the jack stands in the corner there?

So nobody here has the Milwaukee wall system?

I love my Snap-On ratcheting screwdrivers and have ever since I got my first over 30 years ago. I finally worn out that first one so I called SO and they sent me a brand new one no questions asked. I love them so much that I won't use anything else and even my first wife who wasn't into tools...

Anybody here using the Milwaukee Packout wall system? If so, what's your general thoughts on it? Well made, sturdy, etc.? For those of you who might be using it, have a figured out a good mount to hang their Rocket Light tower off of it? I know that have the "Long Handle Tool Rack" that...

I went with the 10" because 1. I almost never run into a situation that the 10" can't handle and 2. I figured smaller blade should equal longer battery life (even if only slightly). I've had it for a few years now and have been very satisfied and love the cord free life.

I tried some Wiha and some Wera bits. They weren't bad but not as good IMO as the Chapman bits. I agree wholeheartedly with this. I love Chapman bits but I also love Snap Ratcheting drivers so the idea that I could have the best of both worlds (standard 1/4" hex bits made by Chapman that work...

I've been pretty happy with stuff I've gotten that was made in Taiwan. Kind of hate to say it but often its as good if not better then some US made tools I've had. I will look into the Vega and Zephyr brand bits as well. Thanks

That's just not the way I roll. I'm not cutting up nice tools to try and make them work in a way they weren't designed to work. Not when I can just buy some new bits that will work for my other drivers. I actually really like the Chapman stuff and they have some unique features too. For...

Their flat blade drivers are reportedly very nice (they're hollow ground which is a good thing). I was thinking about getting some actually but I think may just stick with my Chapmans for flat head screws. I don't trust Brownell's hex and torx bits though. Too many reports of them being soft and...
