Just ordered my 17 drawer elite yesterday. I feel like a kid a week before christmas. Guys, if you ever have the need for a new toolbox, Shannon is the man to deal with!!!! He made everything easy (except for handing over almost 3k), but what a pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to opening...

Thanks guys. As far as collecting, I sure as hell hope The douche bag pays. But I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there

Sorry guys, been pretty busy here. Good news, The Judge awarded me $6200 and for the ******** to pay my lawyers fees. The pinhead has 90 days to make good on the judgment, so of course I'm still waiting. Going to use the money to pay off my Snap-on account and pay off some other bills from...

RUNS4NOW.........sorry, had to say it

Bars..............Kinda reminds me of my bedroom........I need to stop opening up so much to strangers

Good news, I got a court date concerning the tool dealer. Since the amount is over 5K, it's a civil suit. I think I got it in the bag though. I'll update after court. (jan. 19th)

Looks like a Torin box, but pretty nice for the money

Not sure how true it is, but i have heard that the matco ratchets have the same guts as the craftsman.

Good to see there are alot of honest people left in the world. Us mechanics get a bad rap for being dishonest, but it just isn't the case. Sure there are dishonest ones, but the honest will out number them every time. Kudos to you Olds, like eveyone else here I would have turned it in as well.

I've done lots of honda timing belt replacements, always used a torch and my 1/2 impact. Heat around the bolt on the pully face, but get it hot fast before anything else gets too hot. I've never had a problem doing it this way

I asked Shannon about that last week. He told me that the differances where, one more drawer, the casters, stainless steel top, and a heavy duty handle. And any drawer that is 3" deep or more has double roller slides.

Gearwrench make a pretty good extra-long set. Picked up a set through my Snap-on guy for $218. 8mm-19mm, boxed in on both ends (of course one side is ratcheting). I use them constantly every day, so they stand up pretty well

I work on everything from Fords to BMW's, so pretty much whatever rolls into my shop. I need an all around GOOD scanner. If I bought a Tech2, Ford WDS, and all the others, I'd be in the poor house. But I do see your point

Does anyone have a problem with lean codes on flex fuel GM's? Ran across one today, ended up being the fuel sending unit. There is a sensor on the fuel level sender that goes bad. just a note if anyone comes across one. Took me a while to figure it out, hopefully this helps someone.....

Matco, ok guys stop laughing
