Thanks guys, the rails are not marked on the rear, but I did pick up some from Cripe, thanks for the help. Good to know that VIM may be an option.

Some P traps used in industrial sinks also have a cleanout with that head on it.

I will check out Cripe, thanks guys. I will also look at the ones I currently have and see if theres any identification. If there is I will post back.

I use Champion or Hanson/Irwin tap and dies at work, they typically do not let me down, even when threading stainless.

Hello guys, Anyone know who made the old Kobalt plastic US made socket rails from circa 2009/10? I have a few and they have held up very well, they are a high quality black plastic with a ball retention system. I want to get more and would like to get the same ones if possible, just have no...

In regards to AVE, he does make mistakes and the biggest one that bothered me is the CE fiasco. I saw that and said wtf. However, I do enjoy his videos and I think he is not biased. A good example is when he took apart a kitchen aid stand mixer. He bashed the device at first and then...

All I work on is stainless at the plant. A good cobalt bit with oil and slow speed will work well. I get the good USA made ones from the bolt supply, not sure what brand they are but they last.

I set my millers sensitivity low and it worked well.

Got the box today will mount it tommorow. Seems solid took a little bit of a beating in transit nothing compared to a month will do to it. Made in taiwan 67lb drawer capacity and decent gauge steel. Probably last longer than the last box.

Wont do it. Plus the box stays with the company if i leave.

If the Westward does not work out, I just found this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002FSM5I/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I can return the box to grainger. That Kennedy is within my budget.

Thanks for all the recommendations, my budget from my boss was 300 bucks. I wish I could get that SO or Kennedy. Ended up picking up this from Grainger https://www.grainger.com/product/WESTWARD-Red-Standard-Duty-Top-Chest-32H868?breadcrumbCatId=1000201 Did modify the cart now giving me wider...

No, I will now, thought. :thumbup:

Those Westward boxes are actually really good, the other mechanics have JD gators and have Westward boxes, you should see the abuse they handle.

Can only be about 20'' high mounted on a ezgo electric cart. Gonna take a look at that wright. So you guys say the friction slides outlast the ball? If that is the case, I can go with friction slides. A comparable box to that blue point is probably going to be a Williams, I can get Williams...
