Great review! One question, do the drawers just have detents to keep them closed or do they have any kind of positive latches? How strong are they, especially with that loaded top drawer?

Hello all, I have been thinking about picking up one of these for a while now so I stopped by my local Costco today and they were out of stock except for the floor model. I asked if they are going to get more in and they said they are no longer going to carrying the Arcan XL325R item. He...

That's why I love this site. An answer in minutes! Thanks much reptilezs! Omer

Hello fellow wrenchers! I am hoping While reading one of my favorite sites online, http://www.motoiq.com, I came across a really cool low clearance manual impact driver. If you are a gearhead definetely check out MotoIQ, they have some great projects on there as well as some excellent write...

I took advantage of the recent sales and picked up the 3 piece 60 tooth thin profile ratchet set. The set was on sale for 89 but the Craftsman Club sale price was 49. I used a $10 off of $50 coupon on top of that and got the set of three for $39! I picked up a small $2 spark plug gapper to...

Great job working with a small space! We recently moved up north and I went from a 2 car garage to a 1 car and it has been a battle handling storage and workshop needs from the space. The fold down bench is a great idea, I may borrow that just to keep a laptop on. Omer

You can never have too many hex keys!

Sadly my stable is currently empty but this was one of my favorite builds. It is a 1990 Yamaha FZR400 with an FZR600 engine. It was a track bike before so I made it into a streetfighter and it has many custom bits. Here are a few pics and a link to my webpage with more shots of the build...

I use a racheting adapter on my breaker bar occasionally. They come in handy when you are working under a car that is on jackstands and need the extra leverage of the breaker bar but only have limited room to swing it up and down. If there is room I use the ratchet adapter on the bar and it...

Third on the Volvo 2.3 SOHC. Only 100hp on a good day but very reliable. My dad has an 87 240 wagon. The original engine had 340k miles when we replaced it with a junkyard engine which had 80k. That second engine has over 450k or so now. Also on the timing belt note, it is a non...

I have a deep socket 1/2" Metric set from Northern Tool. It goes from 10mm to 24mm but does leave out some sizes (15, 18, 23). I've had good luck with them and they were only about $30. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_36447_36447 Omer

That is an awesome box! I would also leave it as is as many other's have mentioned. My father has a box very similar to that one but it is blue. I am fairly certain it is also a GeDore but a newer vintage, probably early to mid 1990's. The coolest feature is of course the way the box folds...

These are awesome! I have the black handled Snap-On version and it's one of my favorite and most frequently used tools. I use it with a 1/4" socket adapter and small sockets up to 12mm more than my 1/4" ratchets. I've had this at least 10 years and you can hardly read the white lettering on...

We have three vehicles which are all older. Two daily drivers and one project that seems to never end (93 Range Rover). The way I justify keeping my older cars is that they are costing me less in maintenance per year/month than a new(er) car's payment would be. Of course my time is involved...

It is a good deal and I'm glad to see some other's have found them in their area as well. Here is the description and SKU from the box. It comes in two seperate boxes labeled 1/2 and 2/2 btw. 41 IN BLACK 13-DRAWER TOOL CHEST & CABINET SET SKU 635 958 For the drawer liners I took a tip from...
