    Tool Box Delemma - more drawers or wider/deeper drawers

    Ok, so I did my homework and took a look at the tools that would be stored in the new box(es). Keep in mind my old box has 6 deep drawers and 1 12" deep drawer which is used as a junk drawer (basically useless) Almost everything including wrenches sockets and screwdrivers fit well in the shallow...

    Tool Box Delemma - more drawers or wider/deeper drawers

    It looks like more draws is what most people are recommending. M6Z - I don't think ill get much for my box so ill keep it even if it winds up in the basement as a storage box for my wood shop. As far as the upper box goes, i need the counter space. Dave- It's only me myself and I in my shop :)...

    Tool Box Delemma - more drawers or wider/deeper drawers

    Hi All, I have outgrown my current 41" Rollcab and top box combo, and after spending too much of my free time on this site and others, I have narrowed it down to the HF US General offerings. I did look into other brands such as Husky and used tool truck boxes, but HF offers the best bang for...

    What is the most accurate (BEST) air fill hose/gauge

    I use the Joe's Racing inflator. Similar pricing/quality to Longacre. I am happy with it, wish I had bought it sooner. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZ9BKGK/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Help with a miter saw

    If you are looking for a do it all saw - 12" compound slider. If you are only doing a certain type of job then a 10" saw or a non slider may work, but my opinion is that if you want a general purpose saw get the one that is the most flexible. Biggest issue with the 12" compound slider is the...

    Harbor Freight 72" Roll Cab under box dimensions

    Hi All, I am thinking about getting a HF 72" Roller Cabinet and would like to store the Quickjack BL7000SLX under it. I would need clearance between the wheels to be 70"X25"X3.5". Can someone tell me if the Quickjacks will fit?

    Looking to round out my sockets

    The Proto sockets arrived today. They are really nice, better than i expected. I haven't gotten to use them yet, I will this weekend! I decided on a ratchet as well. Picked up a new Snap on FLF80 from a forum member at a pretty reasonable price. I should get it next week. Thank you all for...

    Looking to round out my sockets

    Curious as to why you feel that 1/2" Chrome sockets are rarely useful. I tend to use them all the time, especially for brakes and suspension work. In fact I just used them last weekend to replace the brakes & end links on my SUV. It is is what got me looking at a set to augment my tools. I find...

    flex head ratchet wrenches vs non flex

    I have both flex and non flex Gearwrench. I bought a set of non-flex years ago when they came out and liked them enough that when the flex heads came out i bought them as well. Like Ike, I always reach for the flex heads. One thing to remember on the Gearwrench (at least the ones i have) is...
