I got two of these from Harbor Freight (one for SAE, one for Metric) for $10 each, and they're the best solution I've found so far. They slide right into the drawer of your toolbox - just put some drawer liner down first, and it will stay put. They're not listed on HF's website for some...

What's even worse on those old Studebakers is you need a left handed screwdriver to take out the plug for the headlight oil. And if you don't spring for the Halogen oil, man, you're gonna be sorry down the road.:bounce:

+1 for the GripLatch. I've got a stainless ball bearing top box with the GripLatch slides and I've never had any problems with it. There's really no additional "effort" needed to open a drawer, and it is definitely effective in preventing unwanted drawer opening. For me, it's now pretty much...

FYI - I was just at Sears, and ALL Gearwrench stuff is 50% off (through today only). The stubbies are $29.99 through Tuesday.

Sweet - just sent in for mine. Also, FYI - I was in Sears yesterday, and they're giving away t-shirts with the same image on it if you spend $25 or more on Valentine's Day-type stuff (clothes, jewelry, fragrances, etc)...so if you need a last minute gift for the lady, might as well get yourself...

It's nearly impossible to hold a mirror and a flashlight without putting your beer down. And, as most of us know, that simply is not an option:beer:

Lots of good ideas in this thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11126&highlight=socket+organization

I've always been more than happy with my Stanley PowerLock tape measure. For me, less is usually more in this department - its a simple, straightforward tape that doesn't bind and always retracts smoothly. I've never been a big fan of the rubberized grips, auto lockers, etc - i don't need...

I've got the HF US General box, and as a weekend wrencher, it's great. I understand that it's not of the same quality as Snap-On, etc, but it's got a ton of storage space and is more than adequate for the non-professional. The box has gone on sale for $299 before (with coupon - that's what I...

I was thinking the same thing...:headscrat

I love the guy stomping on the screwdriver. You could do that with a cheap Chinesium screwdriver and achieve the same result. I don't care how strong you are, stomping on a screwdriver sitting on the ground while wearing rubber soled boots is not going to bend even the cheapest grade of...

Sometimes I'll throw a short extension on even when I don't really need it, just for additional clearance - the more you can do to keep your knuckles intact, the better. :pimpflash

Always seemed a little gimmicky to me, although I guess they might be useful in the right situation. I think I'd invest in a Knife Wrench before I'd pick up a pair of compound pliers:beer:

That's what I'm thinking...the guys that work the evening shift there know me very well and are usually pretty gracious about honoring discounts, coupons, etc. I'm looking for a cheap roll away to use as a mobile base for my mitre saw (as well as to house some smaller power tools and...

Is this the ratchet you're talking about? http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100068824&N=10000003+90034+527299&marketID=34&locStoreNum=4106
