Have been thinking of replacing my worn Husky t-handle set. I had my eyes on Park till looking at this thread. How do the park P-handle ones compare to the Bondhus, has anyone used both? I do want the small wrench sticking out the side of the T, I find that very useful sometimes and Bondhus...

I have an old neon green 25ft leverlock that has lasted forever. Also had a newer yellow and black one... Hated the feel compared to the old, AND it slipped after awhile. Am now on komelons.. So far so good. Have a couple selflocks but not long enough to give an opinion on longevity.

Hey thanks for the pointer, those SK NOS ones came today look to be great quality. I also got a couple pro-american plier types from the same guy to test out. They aren't as super, but still a step up from the HF / husky / delcast mini pliers I have been wanting to replace...

After seeing the re-purposed server rack and a few others here and on youtube (thanks all for the inspiration!) - made my own version of a rack for the HF containers this weekend with wood I had around. Can hold 20 of the little ones or 10 of the big ones, mix and match. Gonna get more bins...

Re: Organizing 1/4\" Bits I had been searching the net for a solution and had coincidentally ordered one of these a couple days before it was posted just to try it out. So far ok. a bit hard to pull the bits out, maybe its needs some break in. Hey at least every kind of darn 1/4" bit in one...

dykes... measuring tape... or is it utilty knife? one of those 3

Let us know what you end up at.. I have the HF set and the rubber just disintegrates after a couple years. bah.

The two drivers at the back are a couple of them was easy and just hammering the bit extension into slightly heated old drilled out handles seem plenty secure.

Took some old screwdrivers with beat up tips, a 1/4" drill, a few magnetic bit holder extensions, and made myself a couple stubby and short bit-holding drivers. Used my tools to make some tools...

Unless you are set on HF, I would go to etrailer.com and read user reviews on the many many models they have. After looking at many I got one from there and it helped me move across town...

Are you meaning cases that come with sets, or drawer organizers? The gearwrench set cases are **** (the actual tools are fine) and the thing depresses and the bits fall all around. So annoying. I filled the innards of mine with spray-can foam so it sort of works ok now. I have an old 80's...

Now that's one of the first things I've seen made on a 3d printer that didn't seem useless or gimmicky. Good one! Anyway - I use the dewalt cases but am getting tired of it... can't see inside em, and the silly plastic holders are too hard to put things in and out of. Want some racks like...

Yes, this is the one: http://www.bostitch.com/default.asp?CATEGORY=BOS_SPECIALTY_CONST_STAPLER&TYPE=PRODUCT&PARTNUMBER=BTFP71875&SDesc=Heavy+Duty+3%2F8%22+Crown+Stapler

After making some chicken runs with my T50 hand stapler and screwing up my hands for days, got the Bostitch combo stapler/brad air gun. BTFP71875 I think? From Lowes. Works great so far. Built another run and got the wire on it in no time. Have used different length T50 staples on other...

Yes Channellock, can't go wrong there period. HD doesn't carry as much selection these days but amazon will have it all. Or the irwin german made / nws rebrand pliers - the compound cutters cut through anything. And I am really liking the needle nose and linesmans I recently got as well.
