Love these, but could never pull the trigger on one.

I just built my shop with a cordless 6 1/2 blade left. Love that thing.

Made a huge difference in the few drawers I tried. All dividers are Stanley branded, with one or two with the Stanley-Vidmar logo.

Heres my find from Kijiji today. 200cad (~155usd!) Bearings all roll but have some surface rust, cleaned up and greased up three top drawers and a major improvement. Drawer pull trim pieces are all busted up, but I can live with that. The only info I have on branding is the dividers are all...

Thanks - I haven't dug into it yet, but it has a tag on it that says "cylinder scored" and was left on the bench to die. I think the MS270 was the replacement for it.

Two years ago my dad gave me his 1989 Husky Special 50. He bought it used in 1992 or 1993. I think the special 50 was the saw that became the Rancher 50. He told me how to choke it, pull it, and it started right up with old gas. He and I have never had an issue with that thing so far. I've...

I've been looking for these at all the usual spots (home depot, canadian tire, princess auto) but I can only find the red, 80 grit versions. Im looking for some of the finer grit blue ones - has anyone seen them? A store that ships to Canada...

How do you like that sidebox? I've been looking online a lot of places trying to find one for my box. Ive seen some international ball bearing slide ones at Princess Auto in Ontario, but they've all been a few inches too tall to fit on my box. That friction slide one would be a perfect fit, but...

ahh, just bolt it on. I couldn't get any of the holes on mine to line up well, so I drilled 4 holes in it and bolted it on. I tried to use the original mounting holes on my box so it wouldn't look too bad if I removed it. The only thing I should have done is used a bigger washer on the two top...

I had a set of Bahco double box end ratcheting wrenches and they felt identical to the Gearwrench ones I picked up afterwards. The only major difference I found was my Bahco set started with a 1/4 X 5/16 wrench, whereas the Gearwrench set started with a 5/16 X 3/8 wrench. I used both sets...

Nope. I was working in the Middle East with a bunch of guys from the EASA world and we all had supplied, shadowed boxes. For them it was pretty standard... I moved back to Canada and was blown away with the lack of care from the companies about tool control. Takes me a bit longer for a tool...

My box is starting to fill up quite a bit, but its not that bad right now. I keep thinking about getting a 41" box or a side cabinet for this thing, but I'm not sure if I even really need it. I just want more working space on top, really.

Heres a deal you might like http://store.harryepstein.com/cp/Sktools/8661240.html I picked up this set because I was in the same boat as you. It comes with a 9/16 Martin which is my most used size, and it is muuch nicer than the rest of the set. Ive used the sunex ones other guys in my shop...

Adam.C thanks for posting the link to your thread > I bookmarked it a while back but couldn't find it when I needed it. I know what you mean about the ratcheting portion of a speed handle having to be on the bit side - I use a ratchet adapter on my 3/8 speed handle all the time. The tool guy...
