    Moving a Toolbox?

    I wouldn't store it outside. Especially under a deck where it will be attacked by moisture and critters that want a new home. A classic 96 would be like an apartment building for mice.

    new dual 80 SO Hard Handle ratchets

    Saw the Dark blue ones on the truck last week, It looked so sweet! I don't need a another 3/8'' ratchet though so I was having trouble justifying buying it.

    Angle grinder suggestions

    Love my 4" Makita. Goin on 12 years old now. still runs like new. I never so much as cleaned the thing.It was pretty inexpensive too ,cant remember what I payed for it.I have a 4.5'' Dewalt as well that's pretty good. The Makita just seems lighter and more maneuverable.

    3/4" drive sockets ???

    I'm in the market for a 3/4'' set as well and was gonna go with an SK set because all the sockets and ratchets i have are either SK or Snap On but then I saw the price!I expected to see the SK set for a lot less than the Snap On set . Needless to say I don't want to spend anywhere near a...

    Snap on model and length??

    Looks to be the older version of what is now the KRA-4813.The KRA-4813 is around $2k new.You can prob find the 4813 for the same price as that one and you would gain a full length top drawer.That price is decent providing its in near mint condition.

    DIYer needs input on socket purchase(s)

    You can get a 3/8'' drive set from SK that contains both shorts and deeps to 7/8'' in SAE and 19mm in Metric including a ratchet and 2 extensions for around 200 bucks. A set comparable to that in snappy would be over $500.I have tools from both manufactures and am very happy with both. They have...

    Good triple square sockets to own

    I've seen the triple square bolts mostly used on VW and some BMW's in various areas-axles ,headbolts,manifold bolts etc. I have a set of triple squares from Lisle, I don't remember them costing and arm and leg and they're fine. For me that's a once in a blue moon tool so I don't see the need for...

    Ordered New Snappy Top chest

    I've owned my KRA4107 (40"single bank) for about 11 years now and have packed it to the gills to the point that I have to take tools out to get to tools so yea it was time to expand. My dealer offered me a really good trade in value to step up to a larger roll cab but I couldn't do it. I like to...

    Good set of pliers?

    I pretty much stick with Channel lock for all my pliers except for diagonal cutters which are Klein, IMO Klein makes the best diag cutter. No need to drop a ton of dough on truck brand pliers. As far as specialty pliers like retaining ring pliers and such I stick with Martin. Martin is often...

    What was your best tool purchase this year?

    Snap On CT661 3/8'' cordless and CTS661 1/4" cordless.I love these two tools. They really increased my speed at work and I didn't expect them to be as powerful as they are. They feel great in my hand too,super comfortable.
