    A few thoughts on socket rail

    Napa swivel sockets don't work with the MTS or Torin or craftsman lock a socket. I still like them better than the ernst rails. just my opinion.

    Homak RS-Pro 72" Tool Box

    I wouldnt bother with a 21". a lot of socket rails you'd only be able to fit in one way. The tool vaults have the same problem. get a 24" deep.

    Just browsing - HF vs Sears toolbox

    HF is much better than crapsman, esp for the money. I've had both. (Currently have a 56 toolvault/montesuma with side locker, and if i was to do over, i'd just do HF)

    Tool Vault 72" detents opinions

    I own a tool vault. I can give you my opinion. same box i believe as montezuma, well sort of. I like the 2" drawers but the problem is almost all of them are 2", there are a lotof tools that could use bigger...the side black part of the drawers come out constantly. the detents that come w/ the...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Let us know if this works. A review of sorts. I havent installed one yet, but am considering. My logic is the attic air temperature is higher than the outside, so I want to vent the entire attic air by pulling/pushing it out with a fan like this. I am hoping this would keep the upstairs rooms...

    Quality Pocket Knife

    I bought a nice Kershaw knife recently. Tip broke off very quickly just testing it out cutting pine. I talked to Kershaw: I can mail it back to them and pay for a new blade that they would install. They would not return/refund/replace it. ****** customer service. I said bag it, I'll go buy a...

    What do you think of this Viper 72" cabinet/hutch combo @ $2600

    The tool vault/montezuma tool boxes with the detents - same story. The detents that come with the box are very week. Keep the box front wheels up on top of 1/2 plywood to keep the drawers always rolling back in.

    Why are American's tool boxes so big?

    What everyone has said, plus sometimes I need one thing, and it's just a little more to buy an entire set. Set purchased and stored. Sometimes when I've done this i rarely use the other items in the set.

    Tooltopia, did they just raise all their prices?

    Ya that is right. they are all dropped shipped (they have a small warehouse w/ some stuff in it, but anything big is all dropped shipped). I would NOT BUY FROM TOOLTOPIA. I've had a real bad experience with them, and if you do some searching around here, there's a bunch of others as well. You...

    HF or Craftsman tool chest?

    I'll chime in on this one. HF is better than craftsman, no question. I had a craftsman at home for a few years...just to store stuff like paint brushes, odds and ends, etc...nothing heavy. The drawers have failed, and the wheels are terrible. I like the HF much better. The only downside is I...

    Table saw conundrum....

    I went through the same issue, I had a craftsman contractor saw that I sold and bought a ridged portable. The one thing don't like is the topmis plastic, so no magnets stick, but overall I love it and am glad that it folds up nice and small.

    Tooltopia pass/fail

    Ok here is the end of the story... I mailed the Jack back. Tooltopisgave me credit. I had to use the credit within a short time frame, and I had to use it all at once, or what wasn't used I would forfeit. I placed my final order with them. I will only use them as a reference for price...

    Mechanics On Their Feet all Day

    Re: Mechanic's On Their Feet all Day I've had cat boots-heavy and not most comfortable. Now I have a pair of dewalt boots. I swear it's the same boot. Next round for me I may try the redwings...a lot more coin though, but I only have one back!
