Since snooping around, I’m thinking the same thing, Also going to look into the office chair idea from Skin.

Holy cow! Well I wasn’t expecting that. I think up and down is about all I need but thats a hell of a design. Thanks for posting it.

Hi all, Does anybody know of an adjustable creeper seat that has about a 16 in low height to about a 30 in high height? I’d like it to go high enough so I can sit up at my toolbox. Thanks

OK thanks. It will be a few weeks before I get started but will try to post pics.

I have a KRA 59A top and a KRA 433 bottom with a side cabinet that I bought new off the truck in the 1970 - 71 time frame. In the 80s I bought a new box and retired the old set to my garage. I'm thinking of quitting full time work and bring the newer boxes home. In order to make space and have a...

Let me start this over. Here's the link. Has anybody ever used one of these custom tops? I'm interested in the polymar plastic. I have a new KRL 722 that desparately needs a top. I've always used wood but think this might not show scratches and gunk as much. Thanks...

I'm just looking for suggestions and ideas. I have a house that I want to rent out part time. It's in a area that vacation renters would use it. I have a two car garage and want to keep a car and some personal items on one side, then let the renter use the other side. It has one door for both...

I use a KRA but I'm not a tall guy. The height of the KRL is six inches more and just at the wrong height for a bench for me.

Quote: "I have a stupid question. Which jaw moves on that vise, the front one or the back one? If its the front one, what protects the spindle? " The front jaw moves. The spindle has partial protection when the jaws are close but it is exposed when the jaws are wide. It is used in a pretty...

I've been a pretty good boy this year so I treated myself to a Christmas present. I decided to dress up the top of my box so I bought a new maple top and a Heuer vise. My old vise was just wore out. I've been trying to find one of the Heuers for a long time and just figured "what the hell" so I...

From Wikipedia: "Among slotted screwdrivers, there are a couple of major variations at the blade or bit end involving the profile of the blade as viewed face-on. The more common type is sometimes referred to as keystone, where the blade profile is slightly flared before tapering off at the end...

That's the same set up I bought about 40 years ago and I still have it. The top box I think was sold as "heavy duty". Everybody that worked onsite for repairs had one of those in their pickup bed. They have friction slides so they'll probably need to be at least lubed but probably cleaned and...

I bought a used one in great shape 8 mos ago for $550. I really like it and it's built pretty tough. The blue is kind of ugly but that's OK with me.

I'm in Colorado and just send it to Sypris one of the big test and measurement companies. I send in all of the shop equipment and personal stuff to them because they can do it all. Most of the other companies can only do torque, or only do electronics, or only do measurement or can't do pressure...
