    Kennedy Still Good for Reasonably Priced US Tool Box?

    I've personally never been that impressed with Kennedy boxes. I find their quality is rather disappointing considering their premium price tag. I've worked out of Homak chests, and their portable handheld boxes, and I've found them to better quality, and a much better value.

    Milwaukee needs to make a M18 version of their right angle impact. The 12 volt batteries don't last.

    Unknown Machinists Devise. Never Seen Anything Like It.

    I'm willing to bet it's a custom piece made by a tool & die maker. People in that trade come up will all kinds of ingenious devices.

    What to do with tools that just don't sell?

    I wouldn't throw them away. At the very least, donate them to thrift stores. Even better, see if any local Jr High/High School vocational programs would take them.

    You could get a cheap sewing machine and a roll of canvas and just make your own bags.

    Amazon Warehouse Deals

    I'm contemplating not even using it anymore. Seems like a 50/50 chance they even send you the correct item these days. Not worth the hassle to save a few bucks.

    Icon bit ratchet/socket set

    Not sure why anyone would want to use the bit ratchet with sockets like that. Seems like a great way to break the tiny mechanism. Just use an actual 1/4 ratchet.

    Brand new USA made drill press

    "Made in the US" is basically meaningless these days. Finally assembly might have been in the US, but I can guarantee at least half the components were imported.

    The lowly drip pan...

    This Lisle 4.5 gallon one is my favorite, but it's been discontinued. The new ones don't have the splash/overflow guards.

    Show your new tool arrivals

    Those are my favorite picks. I've tried the more expensive "professional" brands, but always end up going back to these cheap HF ones.
