    Follow up- Bought an Icon Box and consolidating tools

    I had the winch for 2 years before I got the Bronco.. Its a 70th anniversary one as well.. It was a "just because" thing, I knew no one else would be that insane to try.

    Follow up- Bought an Icon Box and consolidating tools

    Went to go look at a used Tool Yruck Tool box. Guy met me out in his driveway and we walked into his garage which had about 6 people huddled around a propane heater smoking Fentanyl. I decided then that buying a used tool truck tool box was not in the cards for me. More money than the Icon...

    The Milwaukee cordless is the greatest invention of mankind. I have had carpal tunnel and trigger finger surgery on both hands. I did a lot of two way radio/in car computing systems on my second career after being a chef for 15 years. I have a variety of 12v batteries and just choose what's...

    I am going to sell my 25yo Craftsman/Kobalt 30" tool box combo with the the tools I don't want or need. Probably just going to throw in the old craftsman stuff. I have almost a full set of mixed sockets plus the ratchets. Probably just buy the Tekton ratchets. I might spring for the Wright...

    I bought an Icon 56" when it was 20% off a few weeks ago. Should be delivered on Saturday. I really wanted the power drawer and I didn't want to have to make one.

    Help identifying Matco box

    Geezus MF, I saw an older Cornwell box on offer up and went go look at it. Guy was texting that his garage was a mess, box was a mess, yada yada. I wasn't too worried. It wasn't new, it was buried enough that I knew that it was in that garage for awhile. It was priced right. It didn't...

    Help identifying Matco box

    Sorry- I couldn't get the seller to respond quick enough. I just hate being a jerk/lowballer. It's not exactly what I was looking for (too long) and it's definitely an odd ball with the docking station. I would buy it at $2k, but not more than that. Hate driving out there and trying under...

    10yo US made or new US general/Icon/Husy?

    I don't want to spend more than $3k. Not locked into form factor too much, but I don't want anything too long. First new box in 25 years. My 28" Crafstman/Kobalt runeth over. At my age I have accumulated a good amount of high quality tools. I really like the idea of Snap on/Matco/Mac box...
