I know... I know.... I think I've already answered my own question. But I think at this point I just want some reassurance. Here goes: Looking at upgrading my tool storage. Actually, I'm making an excuse to buy a new Tool Box! Anyway, I have an Mac Economizer that I've had for years. Box has...

There's alot nicer boxes out there than a Snap On. Please don't misunderstand me. Snap On makes a decent box and if given the opportunity, I' d take one. But, for less money, you could get a REALLY nice Lista that will last you and your kid's lifetimes and still hold 400 lbs per drawer...

I have that same set and LOVE them!! I also have the spinflex in 1/4 drive and really like it. While doing some shopping and comparing, I noticed that MAC sold or sells the same ones for quite a bit more. The only thing that I have found, was that when you first start using them is that they...

My son is a professional mechanic and deals with the tool truck on a weekly basis. Feel does have alot to do with it. We had a very good conversation about it. His main point for buying off the truck and having to pay a little extra is for the level of support that he expects and receives...

Hmm... Spammed again!!! REPORTED 07:37

Man, That confirms it. I get REALLY good pricing from MSC, and free shipping too. I just priced out that bit and it was $.68 a piece. The company I work for has an employee purchase agreement with MSC, plus with most items it's next day delivery too. I did just buy a bunch of nuts and bolts...

If it's cheaper than Tooltopia's , they'll match it and then beat it by 10%. Not a bad deal by any stretch.

Guys, Need some help. Rebuilding my tool set since being ripped off. Anyway, I'm looking for an online source for Pratt-Read nut drivers in SAE and Metric. Thanks in advance.

Karma is something not to be trifled with. I'm sure in her mind he deserves it. But, absolutely no good can come of that. If I were presented with that opportunity, I would pass. Wouldn't want to be involved in anything like that. In my mind, it not too different from buying stolen tools.

URY914, I know exactly what you're talking about. My main bench is an old hospital door. I made it when I lived in Indiana. I've been looking for a contact here in SC to try and find an outlet for those doors, so that I can build a few more. One thing I did differently is that I found a...

Know exactly where you're talking about. I'm actually in Blythewood. I know ALOT of folks that drive from O'burg to Cola everyday. Glad I'm not one of them.

I just bought the Sunex 5 drawer from Tooltopia.com. As far as service from ToolTopia, they're awesome and the prices aren't that bad either. Now, for the cart. Drawer pulls are kind of cheesey. There's no lid prop or gas assist to keep the top open. The two narrower drawers don't lock but the...

Rebuilding my tool collection after some less than desireable elements decided that they needed them more to bater for crack than I needed to work with. Anyway, I'm looking for a VERY SPECIFIC ratchet. It's a 3/8 drive either Proto or MAC. Flex head and it has a comfort grip handle. They were...

In my opinion, no they aren't. Matco, Snappy, Mac, Cornwell et.al. are very good tools. They are no better than SK, Blackhawk, Proto, Armstrong. I have been in the diesel engine business since may of 1984. All of the techs I know started out with the high end stuff, but somewhere in their...
