    Shop Vac Wall box

    Don't wanna add a lid as it will make it that much more work to remove from the box. With the extension hose, I'll be able to get to my wife's car and mine while both are parked inside. But, there are still many times that I'd like to remove it from the box to blow dust off of the back porch...

    Shop Vac Wall box

    I ended up with the day off of school and kinda ugly to do much outside. I had built this to pass some time away. Not the neatest, but 100% functional. The screws go into wall studs of course and now my shop vac is always ready to go. I can clean out my car from where it's at, and I'll be...

    New from craftsman.....

    And...can't beleive that no one mentioned the blue and titanium covered wrenches, sockets, and ratchets. They are also re-introducing the engraving that was offered during the Christmas season to a year long "thing" Also, being in the aviation maintainance industry, I see that they are finally...

    So what do you do with your tools?

    I've got a 40" Craftsman roller cabinet at work that's pretty stuffed and I use the contents for repairing/maintaining our airplanes. In case anyone cares, it's the Canadair Regional Jet 200. (see my avatar) My work actually takes place at the airport on the "line" and I keep my most used...

    Tool Boxes, Plain Or Stickered

    Not stickers, but the inside of my lid has magnets. [/IMG]

    These look just like the Craftsman socket racks....

    You're correct, they DO look like the Craftsman rails, and in all probability, probably are. What I mean by that is without doing any research, there is one manufacturer of those that simply brands some of their products (in this case socket rails) as Craftsman, and another batch as the ones...

    Those black craftsman chests everyone has

    yes, Walterloo as nearly all the domestic made toolboxes are. Craftsman's are the only ones I'm aware of that "indent" for lack of a better word the sides, but still a Waterloo box.

    Recommendation: Gear Wrenches

    Still browsing the tool threads.... In my occupation as a aircraft mechanic, gear/ratchet wrenches make my life so much easier. Many times we are called to fix/repair something that has to be correctly, safely and quickly. Also while I carry a toolbag with quite a bit of variety within, I use...

    How do you store your screwdrivers?

    Good question, and the best answer I can give to that is to only do this when your particular drawer is as "complete" as you think it will reasonably be, and then I still arrange my stuff for more tools. The space on the right side of my wrench drawers is for my stubby wrenches that I've yet to...

    How do you store your screwdrivers?

    I had seen your set-up while browsing in here before and yes you certainly can. Sears sells it for about $8.00 a sheet, but you've got to buy two sheets for $16.00 and it's only good for two drawers as that's the way its packaged. In fact, there are a few drawers left in my work box that have...

    "Made in Japan" Craftsman wrenches, anyone have some??

    I had thse in my collection for many years before I had realized that they were made in Japan. Upon further reserach I learned that during the late 80's - mid 90's that indeed some select wrenches were made over there. The look and feel is indistinguishable from my regular "Made in America"...
