Used Snap On -936 ratchets... 1/4 long non-flex, 3/8 long flex, 1/2 long non-flex. Should be able to get them all for well under $150 on Ebay.

(quote trimmed) I just got a used Milwaukee as a 'throw in' to a compound mitre saw deal on CL and have been looking at the SWAG tables. I'll be trying this before throwing any money at the SWAG stuff. Thanks for the suggestion.

In! Awesome!

That thing is sort of cool... no longer an adjustable wrench, but a cool wall hanger.

Niiice. I'll be buying a set of these for sure.

Wow! Love the tool box holding the anvils up. The embossed drop cover is spectacular.

If you're speaking of mechanic type tools, I think I can be of some help. Over the last few months I think I've finally come up with a 'road tools' set that is both complete and easily transported. I've previously struggled with proper (rust free) storage that is quiet enough to have in the...

I remember Sol's well from my time in Omaha. Lots of good deals had there. They also had a few locations that were used music gear stores - D-Rocks Music. I spent many hours in both.

I'm definitely in the 'clean it when you need it' camp, but the vinegar method seems like the lowest risk, simplest, and maybe cheapest. Jay - is the vinegar really stout enough to remove automotive paint?

Awesome. Thanks for the history lesson. I had my road box stolen when in high school, and with it went a great set of old (I always assumed 70s) USA-made Husky combo wrenches. I've never seen another set like them. Use your dad's tools with pride!

Very cool. Was Husky actually a manufacturer back then, or were they rebranding?

There is also a file set with hard handles in a roll, and a bunch of Snap On screwdrivers. Sill, nothing close to $1200 or even $500 dollars.

I see $200 of stuff there I think... a couple SO wrenches, two ratcheting screwdrivers, Snap On ratchet, Snap On pry bars. At $200, any hidden gems are just a bonus. No on will even take the time to email at $1200.

That makes it easy. A dab of blue loctite shouldn't hurt.

Freshened up the carb on my little roto tiller, helicoiled two engine mounting holes that were boogered from years of use without checking fastners, and 'cold-welded' a broken off mounting ear. All back together, ready to finish prepping the garden for fall.
