Watkins degreaser works great. Unfortunately it is no longer available in Canada thanks to the guy who owns Watkins not having a good divorce lawyer - long story. If it is still available in the US, give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Also works exceptional to remove stains from clothes.

I'm beginning to wonder if some of you ever use your benches, or whether they are just a shrine to Ed Iskenderian...😁. Here's my mess....might not look like much but it serves me well. I also have an old metal desk that I use.

Not a bad score. It says Union Tool Co.

My $60 garage sale purchase. No struts but I plan on just putting aluminum ******** it to hold it open anyway.

And my $60 Cdn garage sale purchase. That works out to about $11.37 American.

Well, this was a pre-garage sale score. Helped my brother-in-law's ex price stuff for an estate sale a while ago and got this for free. Not bad, I guess...the standard sockets aren't S/O, but so what for the price. Different sale I scored a Mastercraft 5 drawer cart, same as the US General one...

Older Beech box, with a few tools. A few Craftsman wrenches and sockets. This is the third of these boxes I've bought. Love them as they're not too big,not too small. Not bad for $10

Just picked a Thorsen 12mm 3/8 drive 6 pointoff the sidewalk...

Thank you! The Snap On part number doesn't come up. I will check with our local rep and see if they are still available. Those Amazon struts are more $$ than I paid for the box...

Does anyone have a current part number for the Snap-On locking hinges? The cart I have is missing the struts. I can't find the number on the SO website. Or is there another alternative??

If you can't buy a complete set of older Gray wrenches at a farm auction, FB marketplace or a garage sale for $50 or less you aren't trying hard enough..I bought 2 sets 1/4-1 1/4, a prybar and a couple tire irons for less than $70. Garage sales especially....

I was once told you don't need to be concerned about the guy who owns 20 guns, you should be worried about the fellow who only owns one.. . I don't think that applies here.....

With one of my last paycheques before I got married (30 yrs) I bought a Snap On 3/8 flexhead speeder ratchet. Between that and the bent handle flex head, they are the ones that get used the most. I recently retired and made what probably will be my last new Snap On purchase - the 1/4" drive...

Beautiful downtown Melville! Lol
