I have a pair of Wolverine boots. They are US made right here in Michigan. Their DuraShock inserts are very comfortable and mine have the Vibram soles as well. They slip on and off really easily too which I like. Before that I had a pair of RedWing boots again made here in the US and I hated...

The few times I had been in HF I've always looked at the 56" one as well and always though "why is this locked", but it turns out it has a little sliding switch under the right side of every handle for the corresponding drawer. So I'm not trying to say "you just don't know how to open it", so...

NC-Fordguy pretty much hit the nail right on the head. In a way it's funny how some people are all "It has to be USA made" when it comes to their tools. Yet when it comes to an automobile they buy an American brand that is assembled in either Canada or Mexico. Yet they won't consider...

I'll have to take a few pictures of it on Monday as the few I have on my phone don't do it any justice and aren't current with what is in it now. It was a fun project to do, and the only cost to me was the door and lights for the inside.

I made my own locker at work recently for my toolbox. I work in a fabrication shop so I had access to a laser to cut the pieces, and a large press brake to form it. I went with 16 gauge for the steel (that was as light as we had) which worked pretty well. I did go a little overkill for the...

I have a pair of them that I use at work and absolutely love them. They replaced a pair of China made ones that our Lincoln Welding rep gave me when I bought a new hood from him.

I was just thinking about posting this thread. I am curious as well as to what everyone uses to label their tools.

Wow lots of good information in here. I currently have all the Hansen ones and like using them as they are simple to use. Just drop the socket in there and it's good. What I don't like is like others have mentioned, they take up a lot of room, especially the 1/2" one. I work in a fabrication...

We all use and love the Hansen socket organizers. I was wondering though if anyone has used the Ernst socket organizers? I love their 40 piece wrench rail organizer, and I use the screwdriver organizer as well for both screwdrivers and nut drivers. What I like about the Hansen socket...

Most of the guys I work with have boxes that look like that. But this is also a fabrication shop where we don't wrench that often. I'm the only one with an organized box (Craftsman 40" bottom, middle, and top, nothing fancy).

I got a pair recently to replace the China made Lincoln Electric branded ones I have. I use them daily and love them. The spring provides the perfect amount of tension when squeezing them.

I'm currently starting to replace some tools with GearWrench ones. I'm working on my SAE wrenches larger than an inch (I have inch and lower), and I just picked up one of the pass through systems. If I were to win a ratchet it save me from buying one (I would still need to get a 1/2" drive...

I have a Lincoln 3350 welding hood that I really like. I work in a fab shop and Mig weld pretty much everyday.

Thanks for the input everyone, I'll shop around a bit.

I work for a fabrication shop that makes and sells industrial (like Ford and GM sized) paint/wash systems and other equipment. The spud wrench is handy when we are lining up some of the stainless panels (12' to 20' tall) for the wash system as you can jab it into one of the holes until both...
