    Dense wrench storage

    I personally wouldn't want to keep having to pull the top ones off to get to one in the middle, but this really isn't about me. �� That could easily be resolved by flipping the wrenches over, docking the open end onto the rod. Then all you'd have to do is lift the group an inch or...

    ToolUp.com good to order from?

    I’ve only dealt through them via their eBay store (99.5% positive feedback with over 82k ratings). They were quick to ship and items were as described, didn’t have any issues. Strange that their website has no address, but last package I received from them had: Fasteners Inc 4170 West Harmon...

    Magnetic tool panel accessories?

    Can you use regular pegboard/slotted wall accessories? The Husky/Craftsman/Snap On smaller add-on panels seem to be rebranded Mechanic Time Saver ‘magna panels’, but no accessories on their site other than the ones you mentioned. Wall Control (no affiliation) seems to have what you may need...

    Going to Tech School, Need Tool Storage

    Homak 7 drawer cart is also another option to consider. Gives you enough room to store sockets/impacts in tbe top, prybars on the side, plus more storage room than a HF cart for a lot less than a Snappy cart.

    Storing Non-Prybars in Tool Cart Pry Bar Storage Area?

    I used to have a problem with the screwdrivers wobbling, but a little bit of duct tape took care of the problem. Makes it hard to pull them out of the holes being taped to the side of the box, but no more wobbling! :lol_hitti Left side are prybars and flathead/slotted screwdrivers; right side...

    Hook & Pick Set Storage Options in Tool Cart Drawer?

    I don’t have the Ernst screwwdriver rack, but from the pics on the interwebz it looks like they just lay on a groove and don’t need to be slid in. Maybe there are different types. How about a magnetic bar? Some folks put a few on the lid of their tool cart to hold stuff, could use one to keep...

    Intermixing Metric and SAE Sizes in Tool Storage

    Posts about asking what is the best of the best of the best, name-dropping Knipex, Wiha, money is no object, then posts like this. lol, OK... Dunno, the biggest downside to me would be using the wrong sized wrench and rounding off a fastener. Some sizes between systems are only a short and...

    Good entrenching tool?

    The tri-folds can loosen up a little while you are digging, just takes a twist on the nut to retighten but that gets old. If you've got the room, I'd go with a non-folding one such as the Cold Steel. I have one, don't really like the sharpened edges so I ended up getting the sheath for it while...
