    Liquidators In The MidWest - Lista/Vidmar/Strong Hold

    Does anyone know of a commercial/industrial liquidator in the midwest? I'm looking for some Lista/vidmar/Strong Hold cabinets. I know other on the board have frequented places on the west coast that sell surplus items like this, but I can't seem to find much in the midwest. If anyone knows of...

    What Do You Use to Hold Down Liners?

    I agree with the "bet better liners" comment, but I have the same problem in some of my drawers. I'm in the process of making new ones out of closed cell foam. In any case, I would recommend buying some rare earth magnets at HF. They are $1.99 for a package of 10. Very strong magnets and...

    Ernst Socket Rails & Screw Driver Rails

    Thanks for posting this website. I ordered 12 from them and they arrived very quickly (even with a couple of days delay due to snow). They had great prices on the socket rails. I wish they had a full selection of Ernst's products.

    13 Drawer Roller Tool Chest

    I've had mine for about a year. No problems at all. Drawers are a little shallow I'm finding, but box is a great buy.

    What do you use to clean your tools?

    I don't do it very often, but every once in a while when I'm reorganizing or cleaning, I will spray some Royal Purple Maxfilm on a shop rag and then use that to wipe down my tools. Mostly done with ratchets and wrenches, but I guess I have used it to clean hard plastic handles. Does kind of...

    HF compresssor question

    I've got one of these compressors and I'll say you get what you pay for. I bought it to blow up kids pool toys and bike tires so that I didn't have to turn on the 80 gallon compressor (or worse yet....do it by hand the old fashioned way). It works fine for that stuff and probably works well...

    Matco Series 5 Box Question

    Considering going to look at a special edition Matco series 5 box. I'm not a fan of special edition boxes or wraps. Does anyone know if the special edition stuff can be peeled off (is it a sticker/wrap material) on Matco boxes? I remember reading a thread about Snap-On and the wraps coming...

    New Craftsman Sockets - USA or Not

    I ordered some new craftsman sockets that are supposed to arrive today. Are the new craftsman sockets made in the USA or these like certain other things where some are USA and some are some other country? Are the new sockets made in the USA stamped "USA"? Thanks,

    It looks like HF has changed the 13 drawer box

    It didn't seem that bad. He just cut a small hole in the box and stuck his finger in to feel the drawer. When he found one that was flat, he cut a larger hole and visually verified. Seemed like a smart way to do it.

    It looks like HF has changed the 13 drawer box

    Went to my local harbor freight last night and bought the side cab to match my box. They had both the old and the new styles. Guy was not happy when I asked him to start checking them to see if he could find one of the older style side cabs. Now all of mine match. I did not like the mismatch...
