I keep my grease and tubes in my service truck, along with funnels, drain hoses, sucky-gun etc. Clean garage, one less thing to store haha.

I just went with the basic ***** MDF slot board from Home Depot. Seems most pieces are made for 3" slot spacing. Only the boutique brand slatwalls seem to change the industry standard size and go to 3.5-4" slot spacing with proprietary hooks that one clip on their brand. I'd go the...

Sweet build man, good to see another Taco fan and also into bikes too. I got an 03 DC Prerunner, vanilla stock right now, collecting parts for 4wd swap, but first need a space to work. I only recently got permission to start doing up our garage space now that the inside is mostly done in our...

Anyone know what the cheapest coupon/sale price is on these? Gonna make a trip over the border and pick one or two up for the home shop and wanna plan accordingly.

You can buy most any colour of Hansen style tray in metric or standard off the truck. I have my metric in green trays, standard in red. Also have a mix of black trays in both MM and SAE for chrome sockets, as I use 99% impact sockets.

All signs point to them being discontinued. No stock anywhere local for the last few months. Since the packout release, they started selling the old style organizers in 2-packs for a smoking deal and now I can't find a set to save my life. I search online and there were a few Home Depot's in...

Too rich for my blood! I miss the original Milwaukee organizers from last year, better bang for the buck. Wish Milwaukee would still offer those as well but I guess they just hold us hostage with a similar version that costs nearly twice the price.

I've had my Hansen trays in my service truck the last year and they've held up fine. Other than the lack of sizing on the larger trays, I'd like to see 1/2" drive trays larger than 1 1/4" and 30mm. It'd be nice to have some 3/4" drive trays as well.

I cracked the old style SO handles in half beating on them. Warrantied my 18" recently and got it replaced with the new style handle and I like them way more. Now I just need to warranty the rest to match! For the price I couldn't find better "big" bars for the money. I have the 36" and used a...

I have the M18 Fuel in the hi-torque 1/2 and the 3/8 impact. I've **** kicked them good over the last year, working in a heavy equipment shop and doing field service work. They hold up great and they kick Snap-On's *** as far as reliability goes. Guy at my work had to send his 3/8 in 2-3 months...

JD2, model 3 or model 32 bender on hydro. For a home shop it's the best bang for the buck. I've had cheap benders and the famous Harbor Freight "kinkers". Skip the **** and get a JD, and buy a decent notcher while you're at it, get the Swag Offroad reach-around for the JD2 notcher and you'll be...

Motherf***er! Told my Snap-On dealer I'd buy a set of cordless impacts when they came in hi-viz, he said they only come in the 3 original colours and the hi-viz thing isn't catching on. Oh well he lost a sale from me, I ended up getting the Milwaukee M18 Fuel set instead.

I remembered and just snapped a pic on coffee break. Here's the PN!

Yep those are off the SO truck, like pulling teeth getting extras like that thrown in haha. Spend $800 on impact sockets and I'm gonna need organizers for them! Gonna probably get the orange set for my SAE. Green and black for Metric stuff, Orange/Red and Black for SAE. I used to care about...

Haven't posted in a while, just took some pics to inventory my tools for insurance, figure I'd share on here as well. First pic is from when I first bought my box. Currently been working out of it for 2.5 years.
