    Using a Top Toolchest without the bottom component?

    Agreed, MillerMav. I'm considering a wooden lateral file cabinet; some are 41" wide or so and have two full-length drawers. Seems perfect for storing large, boxed power tools, etc. Although, the allure of building a frame to support keg fridge/freezer underneath the top box (so the...

    Using a Top Toolchest without the bottom component?

    I just lucked into a stainless finish Craftsman 40" Griplatch 5-drawer top cabinet. My existing tower consists of the 26" (black) ball-bearing top- and bottom-halves, also from Craftsman. Short of spending $736 on the matching bottom cabinet, does anyone have any clever ideas for utilizing...

    Craftsman 53 Piece $50

    Apparently, I don't get it--the configuration of this tool isn't for me, but I can see how some might find it useful. Is this a bad price on the item? Looks alright to me.

    Solvent dispenser?

    Looks like the Sure Shot A 1000 is up to $60 from some sources. Here's an alternative (found after digging through old threads) for about half that: Vaper Spot Sprayer Wonder if the rebuild kits are interchangeable?

    Solvent dispenser?

    I asked a professional mechanic to come help with my mower troubles a season or two ago--long story short, he had a really neat gadget. It looked like an old-time plumbing torch, but had a nozzle that would allow a stream of whatever fluid was inside the can to stream out (he used gasoline)...

    Dewalt Safety Glasses-6 for $6.90 at Sears

    Did site-to-store pickup for 1 ea. item (described as 6 pcs). Received 1 pc. Immediately returned and the CS rep seemed totally uninterested in helping. Sent an email to website CS to see what they'll do. At least I got a refund (and the bolt-outs deal).

    As a new member, I appreciate this search cloud.

    Roger that. I do my best to not be dumb. I was just pointing out something that, honestly, caught me by surprise.

    WOOT: Wen Electric Engraver/Rotary Kit $10/$15 plus Shipping

    Neat tools, looks like HD's brand with a 2-year warranty. I picked up just the rotary tool and, after shipping and tax, it was $20--which is half off HD's price. http://tools.woot.com/?ref=gh_tg_4
