    Basement garage build

    Do not try this at home! - Tool Chest Tipped Over

    Just curious. Are those floor squares made out of soft material? If so, as soon as you opened a few drawers, more weight might have gone on the front wheels, making the front droop down a bit, causing the drawers to open even more, and then *********** from that point. Just a thought.

    What's this tool called (or am I just dreaming it up?)

    Hmmm. That reminds me. Where -IS- my 36" extension? (Yes, I do own one) For that matter, where are my old distributor wrenches? I don't remember seeing any of that stuff for awhile. Time to search the garage.....:confused:

    What's this tool called (or am I just dreaming it up?)

    Thanks for all the responses. Honestly I was just trying to figure out what a wrench like that was called, and I swear I saw a set somewhere. However my memory being what it is (isn't) , I couldn't remember the name of them when I needed to. Per the task at hand, I needed to remove a couple...

    What's this tool called (or am I just dreaming it up?)

    Yeah.... a curved version of that. Preferably 3/8" drive and a 13mm box end. I could've sworn I saw a set of something like what I'm talking about. But I cannot remember where.

    What's this tool called (or am I just dreaming it up?)

    Tell me I'm not just dreaming this up in my head.... Is there a tool that's a cross between a torque adapter (box end at one end, hole for breaker bar or torque wrench at the other) and an obstruction wrench (normally box end at both ends and curved handle between) Or termed differently, an...

    King Tony M-7 problem?

    Just received a King Tony 1/2" mini M-7 with sockets (kit) Did my usual for first time use and added an air fitting, about 10-12 drops of air tool oil, and fired it up. Nice and quiet but..... I noticed the oil coming out of the air exhaust is a dark grey/black color. I repeated the process...

    NAPA 3/8" impact - Matco / Cornwell

    I just purchased the NAPA 3/8" version shown in the OP (NAPA # 6-1122) and have high hopes based on all the positive reviews of these NAPA, Cornwell, Matco guns. Agreed it looks better with the Matco boot.:thumbup: Interesting about the King Tony wrenches. I'd never heard of those and the...

    Older Mac tool box - Price check on aisle #13...

    Re: Older Mac tool box - Drawer 7 In that last picture, those two pieces in the box with the ratchet and sockets, those two are for turning tie rod end sleeves. They mount on a breaker bar or ratchet, and the little sharp end fits into the gap in the sleeve.
