    Best way to buy bulk USA made bolt kits?

    You can take Rockford off that list. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170123/business/170129629/ I heard a few local places just moved some machinery across town. Hopefully some day they will pump out some more USA hardware.

    Bunch of ratchets, but what do you grab first?

    Depends. 1/4" stuff i normally grab my hf flex . Smaller 3/8" stuff i grab hf composite. When it gets tough I like my long handled wright 3425 or sk. For 1/2" I like my black Armstrong or other USA stuff.

    Show off your Menards Masterforce tool boxes.

    I'll add, I love mine. My side cabinet has the newer drawer design--which I really prefer. These are really built well and heavy, I may add the side locker eventually.

    Menards Masterforce/Side Locker

    On a side note, if anyone is on the fence about the Masterforce boxes I'd go for it. IMO they are sturdier than harbor freight and the drawer action is nicer than Husky. Of course you do pay a premium for it tho.

    Menards Masterforce/Side Locker

    That's what I figure. I'd have to have a ton in the locker to tip to that side.

    Menards Masterforce/Side Locker

    Has anyone on here mounted a side locker on a tool cabinet smaller than the recommended 41"? I called the 800 number and surprisingly got ahold of someone immediately who told me not to mate it up with my 36" base cabinet. I was thinking it may be fine because I do have a 16" side cabinet...

    My shop vacs NEVER last. Any recommendations on a shop vac that will last?

    Love my ridgid. I'm still using a larger one from a garage sale from like 5 years ago. Still going strong.

    What Particular Hand Tools Do You Own In Excess?

    Its hard not to buy a USA built ratchet at (pawn shops,garage sales,kmart) when I see 'em. So i got quite a few of those.

    Fair price for this SK 3/4 set?

    Where'd you find that at PawnDaddy? I'd offer 50. BTW, Dan's tool crib has an older 3/4 SK set for 150 if your friend wanted to go that high.
