Both are 84 inch. The left one has a power cab. Because of very limited shop space the stainless steel top gets used as a work bench a lot. Were it not for that, both would have the bed liner tops. Love the built in LED lights in the power tops.

A Texas twister. Waited over a year to get my hands on this thing because for the first year it was out it was exclusive to Mac and we don’t have a Mac dealer in this area. Had it for three or four years now an it has never worked for anything.

I was super excited when I found this thread. I am pretty sure I can save enough space in my metric wrench drawer to maybe move my SAE wrenches back into the same drawer. So, I sat down and figured up an order. WOW, much less interested now. For the stuff to do just the metric wrenches in this...

So, just found out that my brother burned up my 10 year old Craftsman 7 1/4 circular saw. Not something I use every day or even all that often but when I do it is usually for a pretty extensive project, so I guess it is time to replace it. With that being said, I was really interested in a...

Just bought the one on the right a couple months ago. 86 inch no power cab with stainless power top. No trade in. It was about 11K after rebates.

As a shop owner and tech I can tell you this much. My Garage Keeper policy will pay the amount I selected when I bought the policy for tools that belong to my guys and are damaged through fire or thefts. Acts of God are specifically NOT covered. I tell all my guys that they should carry their...

As the owner and lead tech of a small general service shop that will take on almost any job, I have to say thanks for the heads up. Could have happens to me or one of my guys on any given day. Then I would have been fixing it after hours to keep from killing the schedule. Sent from my iPhone...

"Not to be political" my a$$. This ^^^^^^^ person need only look in the mirror to see that ***** to which he refers. The course of human history is changed most often by charismatic leadership. Read some history. Will Trump provide that leadership? Only time will tell, but if so he will be the...

Used an old rusty one I found one time to short a starter across. Was kinda ashamed about it later. My claw hammers do not even live in the same building as my automotive tools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually called Hanson yesterday about the three row idea. Was told that those 3 row trays will be showing up on the SO truck next month and will be exclusive to SO for 8-11 months after. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
