I don't think the OP said anything about using drywall screws, he used the included screws & anchors. You could try the stripped screw hole technique... remove the screw and put a wooden toothpick or a short length of stranded copper wire in the hole and try tightening the screw.

I've used this for 20+ yrs after seeing somebody else use one...

Some might find this style useful as a roll around or wall mount (build one side of it) The wedge holds handles quite firmly into the cups. Amazing for fishing rods

I've been eyeing the IWISS 8g - 1/0 for $30 on scamazon, it looks okay for my needs a few crimps a year but I haven't purchased it yet.

I'm not a big fan of your layout but I don't have to live with it! As much as I love garage space, I wouldn't want this one either. When they were building it, I was thinking ohhh, that's an impressive garage... can't wait to see the house. Turns out, that IS the house.

Good job! Now go apologize to your neighbours for that blood curdling noise!

I bought the Astro Weatherpack Kit shown above and it exceeded my expectations. As a DIYer, I'm willing to fuss a little bit using a budget specialty tool but this crimper performed! I can't say that it would stand up to making harnesses on a daily basis a dream come true but for the couple...

Is the Icon 72 overpriced or is the USG 72 underpriced? I haven't seen either in person but if the USG 72 is on par with the smaller cabs and carts in terms of build quality, I'd say it's priced low, if not a loss leader. Factoring in materials and landed costs, I can't see much if any profit.

That's what I enjoy about AvE's videos. This fellow Canuck rips into the tools before trying them, examines the construction and fact checks manufacturer's performance claims.

AvE on youtube has the best unboxing videos by far! Just Google or YouTube search for BOLTR (Bored Of Lame Tool Reviews)

I wondered if that may have been the case because those totes don't do well upside down for small parts (washers/pins etc). More about having some OCD fun...see, I would have labelled them "EMPTY' and, that's completely my problem lol.

Glad you found some benefit from that post. Storage solutions aren't cheap but if you already have a cart, you're off to the races. I love those Plano tackle trays for sorting and they come in various configurations and sizes. Another option might be to use a 2 shelf cart and create...

Sure thing...hope it works

Can you please flip the bottom 7 HD totes over and repost the picture? :willy_nil

My 5 drawer US General cart has become a great storage center for specialized stuff. The deep bottom drawer holds 4 Plano 3700 tackle trays stuffed with insulated, non-insulated, weather pack connectors, heat shrink assortment. There's enough room between the trays for jumper wires, small...
