This guy lives near my local HF. He buys a couple of the 4 drawer carts when they are on super sale, takes them home and assembles them. He then removes the original logos and slaps on some home made inkjet labels. More of a scammer but definitely a dreamer as the same ads have been up for...

I use the Wera version. Quite nice for when I need to destroy an acr bit.

I have the complete set of the universal ratchet/spline socket line: all 3 ratchets and the metric/sae socket sets for each size, plus the 3/8 metric/sae deep socket set and 3" extension. They really do feel solid, also a bit heavier than I was expecting. The ground finish is e-coated quite...

Harbor Freight appears to have a clone of the Arcan XL2T, but with a different handle and release mechanism: http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/floor-jacks/2-ton-low-profilelong-reach-steel-heavy-duty-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-60678.html

Had to rearrange my Williams set to accommodate my new Wera lasertips:

The places I use them in are usually long cramped quarters where I can't snake through a regular wrench and stubby wrenches are too fat to provide any free space dexterity. The 10mm at least should be in everyone's toolbox.

So I picked up a standard and metric set of craftsman ignition wrenches. Says made in USA, but these things make harbor freight tools look like snap-on. They are not drop forged, simply stamped out and then chromed. Look at those lobster claws. They didn't even grind down the edges. Wasted about...

Since duplex stainless steel, about 25% chromium content. My magnet rails and magnetic parts tray/bowl slaps right on there. My fridge uses the same stuff and magnets stick just as good. Much stronger than usual stainless as well.

I know Kobalt has a 53" top/bottom for about $1900, Craftsman has a 52" bottom for $1500, and there is a Husky 40" top/bottom for $700, and a 46" halfsie for $400.

You can pull out the first couple drawers and get to the backside of the logo, I believe it's held in by screws or nuts. Main box and handles: 16ga Bottom channel: 14ga Caster plate: 6ga Drawers: 19ga

I would suggest whittling down your choices of screwdriver sets you want, and then buying a single screwdriver from each set, all the same size. Some people love hard handles or a specific shape, but I wouldn't go dumping a load on a set of screwdrivers that you may not like in the end. I did...

It's a Trinity 48" SS workbench: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=281844

I spent a little bit of money filling up some of my drawers: -Complete Craftsman universal socket set -Extensions, breaker bar, and composite HF ratchets -Some pliers. The crescent compound action pliers are great -Some Gearwrenches. Hated the wrench racks. -I liked the handles, so I just...

Aquamoose, I am not in this group buy or anything, but I may have a solution for you based on Square as another member has mentioned. You do not have to take credit card numbers from anyone, since I am sure many people would be uneasy about this. Instead, use Square's invoice tool. You create...

The box is exceeding my expectations. I have most of the drawers loaded, and the heavier the drawers get, the better they feel. The bottom drawer is a bit of a wash. Doesn't hold any tools, but I have stuck odd things like my stock of oil filters, air filters, and other boxy stuff. I may find a...
