I just posted them in Classified section! https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/aluminum-hex-bit-holder.556020/ Maybe this is how I'll recuperate from this side-quest haha

Hey all, I went on a little bit of a side-quest a while back in my efforts to make more room in my toolbox. I posted it in "Show your new tool arrivals" thread and got some messages from folks who wanted to buy them, so decided to post them here for sale! I made these aluminum hex bit holders...

I started making a few more of these (first for all my bits... then to gift to friends) in the CNC shed, and then I wanted to experiment with getting them sandblasted + anodized. Found a shop that could do that, so I had a batch made... (silly to ano just 1). Really happy with how they came out!

Had somebody help me bid on this yahoo Japanese auction on a whim and won it - older TechAngle from 2019 (and not my favorite color), but hoping it works well! I noticed the part number is different than the US version (this is ATECH2N100, where as the US ones are ATECH2FR100). Anybody know...

Got to a garage sale that advertised some snap-on and proto stuff - picked up this shallow & deep metric socket set: He also had a 3/4 torque wrench, but figured I don't have much use for that (maybe crank bolts axle nut... but it would just take up so much space). Garage sale next door also...

I really wish my local tool truck would have "office hours" where they show up at a parking lot and let the hobbyists shop...

Was going to post a new thread, but found this one! Disassembled an old KR4200 from '89 The biggest issue was the casters kept falling off if it went over a small bump, or if I lifted the cart. Turns out the frame that the casters insert into were bent out of shape. 3D printed a square...

its amazing! Perfect match to the whole set up. SS trim is a great touch

beautiful set up! Can I ask you what kind of overhead light that is? I was thinking of something similar - always liked toolbox hutches but I don't need a locking door for my garage

Rusty, casters fall off, drawer slides sticky, missing lock...probably overpaid ($130) but I like the small size! Fun little weekend project for me to restore. I wonder if SO still stock the slides & casters from a 1989 cart...

Haha. Yeah, side of the truck said Hector. Never met him, I'll probably try to stop by next time I see him at BTM though!

Spotted in Campbell

Put on these $4 Tekton hard handles on an Icon ratchet & Icon breaker bar I like these a lot better than the comfort grips!

Stumbled on a garage sale where the owner said he was clearing out some space, said he used to work on big transport machinery Lots of 3/4 drive stuff I didn't pick up, but snagged this lot for $120 - Snap on hex bit driver is really neat! - Snap on screwdriver set (dark purple?) - Mac VR15...

Made a 2nd hex bit holder... saved a ton of space! Here is the space that the 2 hex bit cases took... And here is all the bits from the 2 sets loaded!
