I'm going to sell my 40" Craftsman Grip Latch toolbox because I'm getting rid of and/or relocating the leftover tools to smaller toolboxes that are more feasible to move around (and don't require a garage). However, I have no idea how to price is thing? There are a few nicks and scratches on it...

Thanks for the replies. I'm leaning toward the SK set right now because they're pretty much identical to what I'm used to but I'm going to look in to everyone's recommendations further before buying.

Hey guys, I've been out of the game for a while but I'm looking to build up a small toolbox for taking to the race track. I don't want to pillage my regular box so I'm ordering new sets of tools for the smaller toolbox. Mostly I've been sticking with things like Craftsman sockets, etc. because...

It might not be 14 gauge then since it didn't feel too thick. Maybe I'm thinking of the bar stock stuff I bought. I'll have to try and dig up the receipt. I'm going to be using it for mounting gauges and switches.

This may be a really basic question or I might be missing something but I'm pretty new to fabrication (just bought a drill press about a week ago). I bought a bunch of stock and sheet metal from Menard's to play around with and I'm curious as to how I should go about cutting thicker sheet metal...

This is completely false. I've seen some strength of materials class notes from the 1930s and the stuff they did back then was very similar although much more basic than what I did during my strength of materials class. Also, I can't find it now but I remember seeing an old entrance exam for...
