    Let's see your toolbox.

    Sweet box. Do you work on euro bikes or euro cars? Guessing from the motul drums and jugs in the back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Let's see your toolbox.

    It’s an old school USA craftsman set. If I had to guess from the late 90’s. I’ll see if I can find the lid for it with the part number. It’s a pretty good set but my largest metric tap is a m12x1.75. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Got my new toolbox (Snap on KCP 2422) this week and started moving everything over. So far I have the bottom right three drawers empty whereas the old box was packed. Top drawer in the old box was sagging like crazy and got stuck half through opening. So it was time for an upgrade. Insane how...

    Tools of Japan

    I work on stuff with a lot of these small button head screws and when round out it can really screw you over. The vampliers are made in Japan and I bought a smaller spring loaded pair and a larger 7inch pair and they have saved my *** on more than one occasion. Sent from my iPhone using...

    WTB snap on classic 78 in purple

    As the title states, I’m looking for a classic 78 bottom box in the plum radical purple. I’m located in Colorado and while local would be cool I can also deal with shipping. Attached photo of an example from the interwebs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    1/4" torque wrench recommendations

    I work on European two wheel vehicles and while some of the other techs have jumped on the digital train I prefer all things mechanical. So I’ll be sticking with my Snap on QD1RN25 It is actually measured in deciNewton-meters and goes from 50-250dNM Divide by 10 for NM because, you...

    Adding garage overhead door

    It's basically a large detached workshop if you will. It's about 560 sq ft with a 36 inch entry door. The back of the garage opens up to alley so I would like to have concrete poured leading into the garage and a large overhead door installed. Since our driveway is only one car wide in the front...

    Adding garage overhead door

    Who would you call to have a garage door installed in a detached two car garage? It currently does not have an opening for an overhead door and the couple garage door companies I have talked to don't do the actual cutting and framing to make the hole. I'm in north east Dallas, TX.

    My new workshop project

    So I came home from work on Saturday and went to put my bike back in the garage and being the awesome person she is, my girlfriend had surprised me with cleaning and putting all my stuff away in the garage. She also thought it would be funny to spray paint a giant smiley face on the wall since...

    My new workshop project

    The double doors would be awesome but I think long run I would really like to have someone come in and reframe that back wall where the shelves are so that say a 16ft overhead door can be installed with an opener. The alley is on the other side of that wall and It would be great if I could just...

    My new workshop project

    Me and my brother did the floor over the weekend. Cleared everything out of the garage, power washed, degreased, power washed, shop vac wash, rinse, repeat until water in the shop vac is clear. Let dry out overnight. Did a final vacuuming of the surface and applied the base coat. Applied...
