    2020 Garage Sale Thread

    I was in the market for a new Gen2 US general tool chest but found this Gen1 44" top and bottom for $500 on Offer Up. I much prefer it since it matches up with my current 44" gen 1.

    HF US General Tool Chest upgrade

    I am pretty OCD about stuff and I am trying to imagine this scenario of having 4" of a chest sticking out. 4" is quite a bit and very noticeable.

    HF US General Tool Chest upgrade

    This is a good idea. I have not thought about this. However I am still SOL for the upper chest because the Gen2s will not fit without sticking out 4".

    HF US General Tool Chest upgrade

    Hey everyone. After many years, I have finally outgrown my Gen1 HF 44" tool chest. However, as you all know, HF is no longer selling Gen1 boxes. I could simply purchase a Gen2 box to meet my needs, but I am worried about the extra 4" depth when I place the 2 boxes next to each other. Does...

    FUEL Ratchet

    This is similar to what I ended up doing. I purchased a Fuel 1/2 ratchet with a 1/2 to 3/8 step down if needed. And then I picked up a 1/4 non-fuel ratchet for smaller jobs. One thing I noticed was that I much prefer the use of the 2.0Ah batteries instead of the 4.0Ah extended base batteries...

    Heated gear/battery system compatibility reference

    Bumping this for an update on my quest for an alternate power source solution for my M12 jacket. I have found a solution that works great for me. I wanted something with a much higher runtime and with less bulk than the M12 batteries. In summary, I purchased a 20,000mAh Anker portable...

    Heated gear/battery system compatibility reference

    Sorry to bump this somewhat older thread...I searching online and was looking at other options to power up my M12 heated jacket because I don't care for the bump caused by the size of the M12 batteries. Has anyone tried to power their jackets with a portable battery pack? I have a couple of...

    When did miniature car battery jump starters become a thing?

    Mechanic Light Suggestion

    I also had the stick light and while it was nice, it was not worth the money. Especially considering you have to purchase the magnet separately. At the end of the day, I sold the M12 stick light for $40 and bought 2x Braun harbor freight lights instead. I cannot post a link but theres a...

    M12 cordless ratchet?

    I picked up a Fuel 1/2" ratchet over the holidays and that thing is a beast. I chose the 1/2" over the 3/8's because I figured they were similar in size and I could simply step down the 1/2" to a 3/8" if needed. Why in the world are those protective boots so expensive?? For the price of the...
