Here are pictures of the Craftsman Truck Box Mat installed on the shelf. I tried to get pictures showing the thickness. It’s meant for abuse, it has a fabric core. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I was looking for a sturdy, yet thin mat for the side shelf. I don’t know if someone else mentioned it or if I just got lucky and found it, but I bought a roll of the Craftsman Truck Box Mat from Lowe’s, cut it down and used a light coating of spray adhesive to affix it to the shelf. I still...

The short 8" Hyper-Tough striking cap prybar is also on clearance for $5. Regular price is $6.98. I picked one up to go along with my Craftsman/Wilde Prybar set. They also had Stanley, Black & Decker, Irwin-Vice Grips on clearance. Looked to be about a 20%-25% savings from their retail. I...

I can’t say I’m a die-hard, but I do have quite a bit of Craftsman tools. I turned 16 in 83 and my dad gave me my first tools which was all USA Craftsman. The big multipack of acetate screwdrivers, SAE/Metric BOE wrenches, 1/4 & 3/8 drive socket set with chrome plated round head/round handle...

I would assume you could buy the blue swivel casters, (swap wheels if color difference concerns you) and mount them up. I know that works for the 5 drawer carts. I plan to give it a try before I get it too loaded. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

They did refund the difference and I ended up spending it and a few dollars more. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Going to try, I’ll just end up spending the difference on a couple of additional things I want to help organize my garage. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Glad to hear you had no damage. I’m picking up a 44” tomorrow morning. I’ve got a utility trailer, so hopefully I won’t have any trouble getting it unloaded. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

This is just a shout out to the Customer Service department at Wright Tool. I sent an inquiry about a rebuild kit for an older 3400 3/8 ratchet that I inherited from my father that didn’t work very well. I was hoping they would be able to tell me if the kit would fit or not and if so, I would...

Here’s a Craftsman 51871 vise I found at my father’s barn. It was stashed in the corner. The adjustment screw was frozen up and the arm was bent. I sprayed it with PB Blaster and left it to soak for a couple of hours. Used a pipe for leverage and it broke loose. I disassembled it, cleaned...

While not a tool box, how about a homemade tool bag. Plywood floor, leather sides & handle with copper and aluminum frame. My dad worked in the textile mills as a loom mechanic for years in the 50’s. When I pulled it out, it had a lot of dirty, greasy cotton lint. I’ve cleaned it up and put...

Does mine qualify? It’s a 1/3 hp that belonged to my father. I have limited room in my 2-car garage so I’ve mounted it on a 3/4” plywood plate that I can mount on my Workmate. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Unfortunately, it looks like I missed it. I really have my heart set on an old Craftsman gray and red. Maybe one will pop up cheap. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

My dad carried a 84 Mercury Cougar in for a persistent EGR valve problem that he and his brother couldn’t figure out. They were old school, the limited computer on that car was above their pay grade. Dad came in bitching about spending $400 to get it fixed. He popped the hood and there laid a...

There was (is) a lady my mother worked with years ago whose name was Mary Christmas... As for losing sockets, I try to keep one of those magnetic tool/bolt trays handy just for that reason. In 35 years, I still have my original Craftsman socket set complete. Granted, I’m not a daily...
