I like Wright tools, but I think there are several disadvantages to that set. Only one size extension, no universal, and the "breaker" bar is too short to be very useful. The deciding item for me would be, "how do you like the ratchet that comes with the set"? I checked the numbers on Amazon for...

They pull off quickly, and I keep them around my neck if they're going back on right away.The only problem is being careful not to bump them on anything (like a wall or a fender).

So auctions are out. Are you interested in trying flea markets and yard sales? I used to find some great deals there. The last few years, not very much. It can take a lot of time for very little result. But if you enjoy the chase, now and then you can find some great deals on used stuff. Do you...

Is there some reason you don't rent a stump grinder and do it yourself to save money?

I also have my doubts about that being done with a hammer. Those holes on the front left drawer don't look like they were done by the factory or with a hammer.

I'd advise that you do as little permanent upgrades as possible. It gives the landlord reason to raise your rent, and causes him to have amnesia as to how the improvements got there.

He probably means this one: Snap On ratchet wrenches

Have you seen this thread? Changing casters

If it worked, why did you quit using it? :headscrat

Maybe they were using it as a really big mixer, and Evinrude would be too hard to clean.
