    Picked this up at the pawn shop..

    http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200304199_200304199 Nothing *too* exciting, but it seems pretty nice none the less. I picked a set up for $30 after tax, and only one socket appears to have any use at all. It seems like a pretty solid set, much better quality...

    How to keep cats out?

    Seriously, two times in the past week stray cats have managed to get locked in the garage, and its honestly not even like we're leaving the doors opened for long periods of time. They get in and pee and poop all over the place. Is there a way to keep them from getting into the garage? some kind...

    Anyone mix boxes?

    I have been considering buying two 26in wide craftsman boxes to put on top of my 54in wide snap on box. I am considering this for several reasons..for one the craftsman boxes would be much cheaper, and the other is I have noticed that I use the top of my box for a work surface fairly often. My...

    What to do about bad wheel on my Snappy box?

    I have a snap on KRL series box, with those wheels with fancy springs on them and everything. The other day I moved it somewhere and noticed that one of the wheels is broken, its popping and moving from side to side, I assume that the bearings are bad. However, I no longer work at a shop where...

    Thought somebody might appreciate this (chinese tool content)

    Well, I've had one of those little carry around tool kits that someone gave me a looong while back that I keep in one of my cars. Today while I was somewhere I got them out to fiddle with something and I struck the wrench with my palm..and this is what happened. :lol_hitti

    Sears return policy?

    Before I make a trip out to my local sears, I was wondering if they would take back tools I bought a while back. I have a set of those gawd aweful craftsman brand gear wrenches, that feel like they have rocks for the ratcheting mechanism. I do have all original packaging and a receipt for them...

    Garage sale/ flea market/ pawn shop finds

    Sorry, I just wanted to share my presents to myself with everyone. While out of town this past weekend I dropped by some places since we really don't have any good flea markets or anything around here. I picked up the smallest of the Williams wrenches at a yardsale for $2, and found the...

    I can't wait to move in!

    Sorry, I was too excited about my new box to wait to unload it from the truck. KRL-1022 I think is the model number, its pretty massive IMO. I am slowly moving up, I know a lot of you guys have a lot bigger boxes, but for me this is pretty big. I traded a guy I know an engine + some cash for...

    Can anyone identify this butterfly ratchet?

    I ran around to a few yard sales, and a pawn shop or two today and picked up some stuff. I can't seem to identify this butterfly gun though? I figured since it worked and was marked $5 it couldnt hurt. While i have a post, I might as well show off what else I bought.. I picked up two seperate...

    Ingersoll Rand rebuild kits?

    I've got a 1/4in air ratchet model 103 that was in a bag of stuff I picked up, but its all sorts of broken. I can hook air up to it and it makes noise, but its everything else that is broken. Just wondering if I could possibly get a rebuild kit for it. Thanks!

    Dunno if they are any good or not, but I went to kmart today and just went through the tool isle..I saw they had stanley indexing ratchets on clearance for $15 for the the 3/8 and $12 on the 1/4. I didn't buy one yet...I didn't have enough cash on me but I might go back in a couple of days and...

    Whos got a matco torque wrench?

    I'm just wondering what everyone thinks of their torque wrenches? I want a snap on...but really unsure of whether I want to deal with my snap on guy or not. I was just hoping someone could tell me how good or bad they are. Thanks.

    Figured I'd re-intro myself

    As with all the new guys, and my intro was a good while back. Anyways, I post here and there, have been on HAMB since 2004, but hardly ever post..just listen. Pretty much what I will do here too. My name is Harry, and my screen name is long and difficult to spell. I'm currently in a vocational...

    Digital snap on torque wrenches?

    I read a post or two on them from the search, but was wondering what they used for the mechanism in them? My snap on guy says that they don't use a spring like a conventional clicker type torque wrench, and that they use a different type of mechanism for measuring torque, however he could not...

    Thought I'd throw some pics of the project up (dial up warning)

    I have been lurking for a while but finally made a post in the flooring section, and thought I'd introduce myself a little better. Here are some pics of various stages of the garage that me and my father have been building, its 32x50 with a 12ft ceiling. Anyways, enjoy :thumbup: Soon...
