Snap on boxes Peoria Illinois $800. No idea if its a good deal or not but the lowest price I have seen on a snap on box around here. http://peoria.craigslist.org/tls/3558015649.html

07Forester, I hope you start feeling better. I have spent the day ill and not far from the facilities myself. Hope it clears up for bothof us by tommorrow! This is one of the most generous things I have ever seen and certianly this is one of the best boards I have ever joined. Im rooting...

yeah they were talking about that one at the local lowes. One deal was a bathroom vanity too. And a fridge.

Not quite you have to set and hit refresh and wait for them to post a coupon deal on a specific item...and then you have to be one of the 25 to 150 first people to follow the link and give them your email...and then it will show up in your email 4 to 48 hours later if you are one of the first...

Well If I would have ordered it without knowing that it was wrong I probably would have been more stubborn. The girls helping me were nice about it and the mananger would not even come over to deal with it himself....plus there is that other store to try:) And if all else fails...I will send...

They wouldn't do the 3/8 drive set for me. He did offer it for 25% off...I declined. There is another Lowes a comparable distance away. I might try that store and see if there manager has a different take on it. Though they claimed they were going to get the website fixed. They would have...

They did but they were so covered in rust I was not to worried about it. The wire wheel was taking it off too. They are a little less black after being cleaned up but after oiling them a little they don't look bad...except for the pits!

Yeah I had no idea about the older brands before joining here. I knew Mac, Snap-on, Craftsman, Cornwell and thats about it. The electolosis will be soemthing I will have to put together. I hope I can get the ratchets going and find the innards for the one.

Thanks. If I would have truly known how special it would be I would have pushed harder over the years...or if I would have know they were being so damaged. I thought they were relatively safe in the toolbox in the garage... I mainly work on my bronco that I have had since new in 95. 209,000...

It really is. My dad died at 28 years old(kind of wierd to think I am 14 years older than he was when he died) and he was in Ford mechanic school when I was born so he used them for about 9 years. I know they were well used during that time.

Funnily enough she does not have a much of my brothers and I's stuff around. She became the hoarder slowly overtime and had sold most of our toys or we had taken it when we moved out. Thats my plan I will continue to add to the little kit I gave her...tools that she can actually find and use if...

I did show her as she was hemmming and hawing and hovering while I was loading things up...she knew there were some problems but not as bad as it was...I'm sure she had no idea anything had been spilt in the box. I plan on letting her know how it made me feel while cleaning them up and how...

I will take it out to Sears and ask if they can rebuild it...or give me the rebuild kit. Thanks. Yeah it was and I know it was hard for her. If I can get her to let go of his old box I will try to just clean it up and stop the rust...it has stickers he put on it and with the cork drawer...

Thats the thing I am pretty much the only one that has/or will use these tools and she knows it but she still can't let go. It really was uncanny and very emotional...and I'm not emotional guy.

Yeah I think that will be the plan. I will find something to "trade" her for the toolbox. She hoards her money too so she likes to think she is getting something...though mind you if I offered her money for it she would think I was offering her to little...all the way she thinks to hold onto...
