    Is diesel the best degreaser? and if the answer is no, why do you like being wrong?

    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.

    Lets see your workbench

    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.

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    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.

    2025 Garage Sale Thread (14th Annual)

    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...

    2025 Garage Sale Thread (14th Annual)

    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

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    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....

    How many ratchets do you own?

    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.....

    How many ratchets do you own?

    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...
