Nice buying on the Mac box, old buddy has the same size but in red. It takes a beating from him. Stands up well.

Silly Philly, are you in Canada by chance? You said have a mastercraft tool box, which likely came from Canadian Tire. Also noticed the pictures you posted say Telus, which is phone carrier in British Columbia, Alberta & Ontario. Assuming that price is in Cdn dollars, $3400 is a steal...

The tool peddler that I brought all my SK impact sockets from years ago has gone to gear wrench. I have mailed in 2 broken sockets to SK, its a pain & costs enough $ to send from Alberta. Cant find anyone that is a SK dealer locally, so it my only choice.

For years I love putting Roberston screws into wood crates that came from outside Canada that have back for a core. Typically the crates come phillips or torx, I laugh on what the person on the other ends is thinking. WTF is this, haha.

I had to got with 14ft walls, as my Changeller is 13' 6" tall. My door is 12ft, didn't have a need for any taller.

Tech I used to work with for years has the CP717. Too expensive for me, an independent tool dealer sold me a Rod Craft version for half of the CP. I see Rod Craft doesn't sell it anymore. But it looks just like the Astro, CP, Jet versions I seen. This air hammer has been a fantastic tool...

Love the old Farmall M helping out, hope it get to stay inside now?

Info about the snap on locker with windows, what's that about? Its looks pretty cool, nice garage also.

You have some very serious fab skills, not sure why you were wasting your talents serving food. Good luck to you, hope it turns really well.

Been working with "Varsol" for the past 20 years in all types/sorts of repair business. Use at home in a unheated & heat shop. It doesn't freeze, yes its get down to -40C or -40F once and awhile. It does dry out your hands for sure, I wear rubber gloves for that reason. I never seen Varsol...

I have the 3/8 fuel with the 4.0 battery(18V). I'm happy with it so far. My will undo fasteners that I have torque to 100ftlbs. It won't handle much more than that. Couple guys @ work have SO 14.4, there about the same. I know there less V's, but the price is a lot more. My tools & boxes...

I installed my 2 post hoist couple weeks ago. The instructions said to use a "core hole bit" for chance of hitting rebar. I needed a 3/4" bit for the anchors. I rented the drill & bit from local rental place. The bit kinda looks like a really long hole saw(different teeth), about a foot...

I looked into some metal cabinets made in my province. Just wanted storage type closets. I have a span of 14ft. Went to placed called cabinets by Hayley. They want $9600 for just cabinets with doors/shelves, 6ft tall, 2ft deep. Way too much $ for me, time to start looking for used stuff...

I'm going to ask cause I don't know. What is the issue with clay? Where I'm from, the grass is taken off, then the black dirt/top soil to get to the clay. Then clay is used to get above grade, then either slab or grade beam is poured. Please fill me in, thanks.
