Why not buy used stuff that doesn't need any work? I've bought all my Lawn equipment used on Craigslist/Facebook sites. Save yourself the trouble and just get used stuff that works fine. People sell their old stuff when they upgrade or when they don't have a use for it anymore. It will save you...
I think a used Snap on KRA 4107 is the right answer here. I'm a professional dealer tech and have worked out of mine for 9 years everyday with no issues. It's not as nice as a KRL but it's definitely a league above the homeowner boxes you'll find in a big box store. I've considered getting one...

So I was drilling some holes in the frame of my '54 Ford the other day, and my ancient, cheapo drill crapped out on me. So I'm looking for a replacement and my buddy recommended this...

This a great thread! I need to get back up to Richmond sometime and check things out. Have you ever done any exploring in the Hampton Roads area or Gloucester county?
