Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, I just found at sears a 6, 8, and 10" Gearwrench adjustable crescent wrench set for $15.97, regularly $49.99. I also got a 75 piece tap and die set for $86.97, reg 199. Happy hunting!

Like the title says, what have you guys found to be the best way? I want to stretch it end to end and just use the trim at the front edge, but was wondering about it. Otherwise if I do use the trim all the way around there's going to be a 2" gap all the way around.

I just looked over my original post after wondering about all the troll posts, and pic posts, wondering WTF, then finally realizing I never explained about the to other squadrons in the post. Definetely my mistake on that one.

Very true, however that was not the case here. These were transferred to two squadrons for use in their support section (tool cribs). If no unit on base would have taken them, they would have gone to DRMO, and would have been eligible to be auctioned off to the public through a site such as...

The owner of the company is the us tax payers, the CEO is Obama, (USAF). The point of the thread was that I was surprised that the second guy didn't even say thanks for calling him. Considering it was a 130 squadron I probably should not have been.

No April fools.

So I guess I shouldn't tell you that the 10 road boxes and a kra2007? Will either be going to Drmo or the scrap metal bin when their replacement FOD boxes come in?

Not a joke. We got them for area boxes, and we're told after the fact they only wanted 2 boxes. The flightline boxes that we have are road boxes so they are bigger, and even those are getting replaced, hence these were of no use. Sorry boss, not a joke!

At work we had 10 kra2055, and kra4059 snap on boxes on a shelf in our back room. We are cleaning out the room and was told they had to go. If I had to do it again, would definetely be first come first serve. Called the first squadron over to see if they could use them. Free boxes, snap on...

Guys I realize the cost of steel and other metals have gone up in the last few years, however I was simply stating how surprised I was that there was that much cost cutting to the point where a $460 box felt cheaper than a 6 year old $170 box by the same company. I'm not a professional in that...

Re: Man sears is really cutting costs If I keep it, it will be just light duty, but almost forgot that was the other thing, they switched from metal handles to plastic on the chests, and no longer have a handle on the side of the cabinet. When I bought the original one, I was under the...

I purchased a chest and cabinet combo about 6 years ago which was the quiet glide set, I think I paid about $169 for it. I just picked up a basic ball bearing setup (cabinet, chest, and intermediate) for 229, which was 50% off for their sale. I set the new one up in the garage next to my old...

I've got a respectable tool collection and was just shamed into having to borrow electrical tape from my neighbor. Arrgh! Off I go to home depot.

I didn't get issued one, but I did find one in the pilots seat bay on a H-60 that I was doing a phase inspection on that had just come back from the desert. No etching means finders keepers.

Two other things to consider is the convenience of have a work area right where your tools are (like a traditional with a stainless top for easy clean up), as well as the possibility of people putting junk on top of your box lid. The rubber covers on the tool boxes are a pain to clean up when...
