    Interesting German(?) Toolbox on NJ CL

    This is an interesting box. Priced a little high for my taste but looks to be well made. Anyone know anything about this thing? http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/tls/4382600871.html Pictures for when it's gone:

    Stubby opinion

    There's probably a Lowe's close by too. I have the SAE set. It doesn't go as high as the Cman set, but for the $$$, I'm happy. Looks like you could 12 wrenches for $17 out the door. http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=338608-25428-85555...

    Your Heirloom Tools

    This screwdriver and hammer were given to me by my grandfather about a year before he passed away. He told me that he made them as a project while in machinist's school. The screwdriver is engraved "1940". He was a machinist all his life and ran "Art's Fix-It Shop" in Onalaska, TX until age 81...

    Do you shy away from recondition tools? If so, why?

    I'll put in another vote for recon tools. I have a Milwaukee angle grinder, a dewalt router (corded) and several dewalt 18V tools that I bought as recon bare tools (purchased from CPOMilwaukee, ToolKing and CPODewalt). All the tools appeared to be in new condition. I don't use them everyday, so...

    Newbie needs advice - Tools for Vette

    I got a 72 Chevy truck a few years ago. The tool requirements are probably not too different from your Vette. I already had a pretty complete set of craftsman sockets and combo wrenches, basic set of pliers & cutters, screwdrivers, and hammers. Here's a list of things that I bought afterward...

    Is this a Walker jack?

    This jack is for sale, but seller doesn't know the make or model. Says it's blue and yellow so I thought it may be a Walker. Also, says it works fine. Can anyone ID it and give me an idea of value? I want it to use, not restore/collect. Thanks in advance.

    I need a quality reasonably priced multimeter.

    I've used an Amprobe 15XP-B meter at work (not automotive). It's just a basic multimeter but it's well built and has nice features including long leads and a magnetic hanger. They have an automotive model Amprobe AU92 that looks decent: http://content.amprobe.com/DataSheets/AU92.pdf

    Lining tool box drawers

    This is the liner I've used. It's the same as the harbor freight 18" stuff, but the ebay guy sells 24" rolls (depth of my roll cab drawers). It's kind of tacky to the touch, which means it sticks to the bottom of the drawer and to the tools. It also claims to have some rust inhibitor in it...

    Long screwdriver set?

    I'm looking for options for a long reach screwdriver set. My MIL always asks for a couple of Xmas present ideas and I thought this would be a good one. The only one I've found so far is SK: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007PBBDE4/?tag=atomicindus08-20 There is a similar 4-piece set by CMan Pro but...

    Pry Bar Storage

    I stick mine on the side of my roll cab with some rare earth magnets. I salvaged mine from some old computer hard drives, but you can buy them online. Works great. I twist the pry bar to pull it off and the magnets stay stuck to the tool box. Be careful pulling these out of hard drives. The...

    Long Pattern SAE Combo Wrench Set for ~$50?

    Thanks for the pictures John. I decided on the Cman Industrials from your Ebay link. I also found the Craftsman Industrial Digital Catalog and it had measurements for all the wrenches in that line (plus RPs and Professional). It should be a good reference for anyone else thinking about...

    Long Pattern SAE Combo Wrench Set for ~$50?

    Hi all, I'd like to pay about $50 all in on a decent long pattern wrench set. I've currently got 2 sets of standard CMan RPs. I'd like to migrate one to my truck and replace it with a set of significantly longer wrenches. I'm thinking about 7 wrenches from 3/8 to 3/4. Could do more or less for...
