Same idea here, although trying to streamline as I expand my collection. I have a 44" box and 26" top loaded with mechanical stuff, metal drill bits, files, anything I would use on a car or other mechanical job. I have a big 18" bag that lives in my truck with the basics for common "handyman"...

Jawco usa spinners on eBay for around $10. My proto with 1/4 drive female in the handle is indeed invaluable to me as well, just happened to be in a kit I scored. I keep meaning to buy the 3/8 jawco. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Best way to do it, holds up to marine abuse: My local hardware store has a few drawers of electrical parts similar to their selection of huts/bolts. You know the cardboard drawers of stuff....mine carries large **** connectors but they're unreliable on a vehicle in my opinion, if you do use...

Been using these for years, nice and lightweight, even will wear a nitrile glove underneath if digging into something really oily etc. Cheap enough to toss when done, but I rotate beatup pairs for the dirty work, newer pairs for more dangerous stuff. I only trust welding gloves when using a...

Hey guys, first post, but have been a reader for quite some time, some excellent stuff here from your expertise. I'm cleaning out my stash of oddball stuff in an attempt to get my garage in efficient order and have had these hanging out for quite a while. Anyone know anything about the brand...
