    Hand held liquid sprayer

    I have a Sure Shot mainly for Brake Cleaner and it is awesome. I still keep a case of aerosol brake cleaner in the shop because the Sure Shot unit is a little larger and heavier, and sometimes an aerosol is a little easier to use in tight spaces, but for the most part I am a huge fan of the Sure...

    Anyone have any complaints about your HF tool box?

    +1, exact same for me The only thing I can complain about is drawer options. Build quality is over the top good for that price point.

    Harbor Freight 56" Box Height Without Wheels

    I just installed a HF56" in my trailer without wheels. Going from memory I think its 34 1/2" tall without wheels. I'm nowhere near it now to measure it though. There is a pic on my instagram with it sitting next to my 72" tall Sandusky metal cabinet in my trailer if that helps...

    2 44" harborfreight boxes with the side cabinet in between

    That is just perfect. My current assembly of tool boxes along one garage wall would be much better replaced by this exact setup. Thanks to both of you for posting those pics. I think thats a lot of nice looking uniform storage for the $$$

    Husky 52 vs HF 44

    +1, I agree 100% I own both. I have had the 44 for 3 years and just bought a 56" and I think the 56 is a huge upgrade over the 44", even though its double the cost. As nice as the 44 is for its cost, the 56 is just made better.

    56" toolbox shootout - HF vs Menards?

    I just thought I would update this thread. Despite a strong pull at the end by the SPG International after Kyles posts I ended up buying the Harbor Freight 56" today. I actually had set my mind on the SPG International and then did a reversal. The pros of the International was that I could get...

    USA Craftsman... Fail

    I stand corrected,,, I do not own a set of those, but I would maintain that a line wrench would still be the preferred option and engage more points on the bleeder over an open end wrench on a bleeder. If you don't need to get over a bleed line, I personally use a small 6 point box wrench myself.

    USA Craftsman... Fail

    Ummmmm a line wrench "is" the right tool for the job on a brake bleeder. Its exactly what the tool is made for. He could not have used a more right tool for the job. I would never put an open end wrench on a brake bleeder or a brake line.

    Dewalt dc9096 18v batteries repairable?

    There may even be local places that rebuild them. I found a local place in my town on Craigslist that rebuilds them. No shipping involved, I just dropped a box of dead ones off and picked them up a week later. I can't remember what they charged but it was pretty reasonable based on what the...

    56" toolbox shootout - HF vs Menards?

    Wow, that extra depth dwarfs the HF. Thanks for the pics Since you own both, How are the drawer detents on the International vs. the HF44? I wished the HF ones were firmer. Would you mind terribly adding a picture of a drawer open? I'm curious about drawer wall thickness / stiffness...

    Craftsman Premium

    Hey Guys, Has anyone tried the Craftsman Premium Heavy-Duty Floor Cabinets yet? I was in the store recently for a completely different reason and happened to walk through the tool & garage storage area. I've been turned off on the Craftsman storage for a long time so I rarely even look at it...

    56" toolbox shootout - HF vs Menards?

    Hey Kyle, Does your International box have positive latching drawers or detents? Detents may ruin that for me. I am looking for positive locking drawers on this next one. That was the only thing I did not love about my HF44". Iloved the box, but I wished for positive drawer latching. I found...
