Any ideas where one can find an affordable steel toolbox/tool case? Something like these: http://www.armstrongtools.com/tool-storage/armstrong-16-657-steel-case-27-1-2-in-x-11-1-2-in.html http://www.armstrongtools.com/tool-storage/armstrong-16-641-steel-case-31-1-4-in-x-8-in.html I'm looking...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-CRAFTSMAN-9-16-VA-47855-COMBINATION-WRENCH-V-SERIES-MADE-IN-USA-/400630747377 I get the idea that the open end works one way, and slips backward the other way, but I was wondering what they called them, and when they were sold?

I broke this screwdriver http://www.lowes.com/pd_239374-16878-60223_0__?productId=1067893&Ntt=6+in+1+screwdriver&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3D6%2Bin%2B1%2Bscrewdriver&facetInfo= I needed to go to Lowe's for other things last night, so I took it with me. I thought I'd be able to simply exchange it...

I've been cleaning the garage lately, and I'm finding myself with what, by the time I'm done, will be a decent size pile of "junk" tools. For example, cheap, junky sockets, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. Stuff I bought cheap (31 pc SAE/Metric wrench set, $15) when I was in college and didn't...

Can anyone recommend a 1/4" hex impact driver bit set that comes with the bits in a good plastic case? This is what I've been using for a few years...

I just got a Snap On MG325 3/8" impact. I have a question or two. A big reason I chose this one was the anvil stop feature. I'm tired of chasing slung nuts. How quickly should it stop? I put a heavy socket on it, and let it zing full speed, and it coasts to a stop in about a second. I put...

I've got a new impact wrench coming, and I'm curious to compare it's strength to the old one. I'll leave brands out, as it's not relevant to the discussion. I was perfectly happy with the old one, but needed two anyway (one for the shop toolbox, one for the service truck toolbox), so I though...

Within the last week, I found the Craftsman 309 piece mechanics toolset on sale at $199.99. I bought one online, for store pickup, at that price. I opened it up, and all was good. Everything USA but for the ratchet wrenches (this was expected). I showed the set to my dad, when I was using it...

http://www.sears.com/craftsman-309-pc-mechanic-s-tool-set/p-00941309000P?autoRedirect=true&sLevel=0&redirectType=SKIP_LEVEL This sale comes and goes, but it's on right now. I was waiting a while for this one, and got it this morning. Mine was still USA made, except for the ratcheting...

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00959602000P On clearance, $259, from regular $370. I've been watching this one for a little while (last one I needed to complete the set). Last night it disappeared from the website entirely. Today it showed back listed as clearance. Anyone who has...

I've had decent luck finding and fixing AC leaks without one thus far, but I've seen enough instances where it would have saved me time, that I think it's time to consider one. This seems to me like a good way to instantly confirm suspected leaks at condenser, evaporator, and shaft seals. I'm...

What should the open and box ends of a wrench measure at? What are typical tolerances for these measurements? For example, a 1/2" hex cannot be precisely 0.500" across the flats and a box end wrench also 0.500 across flats, and there be any expectation of usable fit. What are typical...

Who last made Craftsman Professional wrenches when they were still USA made? I've got a set that is a year or two old. I'm not interested in a debate on the quality, or the recent coo change on these, I just want to fill in a gap or two in a metric set (32mm, and maybe one other) with one that...

I recently purchased another impact wrench the other day (2135QTimax). As I assessed my toolbox, and began again anticipating future needs, and considering the next tool to move to the top of my shopping list. I have no 3/8" impact wrench or sockets. I see them recommended here quite...

I have a 60 gallon, single stage, craftsman air compressor. It has a devilbiss pump on it. It has given me a fantastic service life, until yesterday. It starts, and runs, ok, but within about 15 seconds of starting up, begins to emit smoke from the motor. Opening up the motor found several...

I need a suggestion for where to begin searching. I do not even know what a tool like this is called. I am looking for something that can help me find a point, inside a harness, where a wire is broken. I am an ag implement mechanic, primarily working on planters. I know all the common pinch...

What do you think is a fair price for a used Snap On PH3050 air hammer? Normally I'd try to find the lowest price the seller's willing to let it go for, but this one is a coworker. He's let me borrow the gun to try it out, and I know he takes care of his stuff. It works fine, and appears to...

I have an application that could strongly benefit from a 1-1/8" ratcheting wrench. I know I can get a standard one from Gearwrench. I have their set up to 1". If I can find nothing better, that is what I'm going to end up getting. What I would like, and cannot find, is a reversible one, with...

We have a 14" Dewalt metal cutoff saw with a carbide blade at work for cutting our steel stock at the welding table. We use it in place of a chop saw (faster cuts, steel doesn't heat up, and not continuously replacing blades). We have a few special homemade tools (who doesn't). One of them is...
