So the other day my wife went to another party. This one was for spices. It seems like every time I turn around she's going to a party for candles, Pampered Chef, or whatever. I _know_ the rest of you have been victimized by this peer marketing ;-) I think it's time we started having tool...

I have to agree with ManCave that for recreational tool buying prices are a major part of the shopping experience. I disagree with finding someone to enter prices - they should be available in a format suitable for importing. Sites like this are usually database driven, and the pricing should be...

Yes, you end up turning the nut on a carriage bolt because they forgot to cut a screw-slot (there's another relic that needs banishment) in the head. I use CB's on my woodworking projects. Another thing I've noticed - my woodworking stuff is inch. I just wish we'd switch, and be done with it...

So I was at sears again today, and saw a 3-drawer. On this one the drawers worked pretty well - it was the $70 on sale for $50. I was pretty close to buying it, and then I picked it up. Yow! I'd end up treating it like a chest.

The real question is: Do you just beat the **** out of something by feel, or do you calculate the proper head weight & stroke velocity for proper **** beatage? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Everyone knows you beat most things by feel, but in critical applications or when specs are given you use a...

So I'm at sears today, and I see they have a wrench set I've been thinking of getting on sale. I know I'm going to get metric, but I evidently have something in my dna that requires I also get inch as well. I know my truck and my wife's van are metric. Along with my bicycle, lawnmower, trimmer...

That's what I'm afraid of. The problem I've found with tool carriers of any kind is that by the time you get enough tools to handle a situation that you didn't specifically load the thing for, it's so heavy you don't want to carry it. I have a small Veto Pro Pac, and if I load that thing up it...

I'm kinda hinky about a 4-drawer. I'm one of those nature-abhors-a-vacuum kinda guys, and if there's space I'll fill it. Heavily. I don't want to end up with something so heavy I never carry it anywhere - I have chests that do that pretty well. Even a three drawer can get a bit unwieldy when...

I've looked at the Sears boxes, and they were not impressive. It seems like everywhere I've been, they have basically the same box with a different sticker on the front, but the same drawers.

I'd like to find a 3-drawer tool box - you know, one of those 20" jobbies you can carry around. I've looked around, and everything has drawers that, well, ****. They feel like there's no way you'll get them open without using both hands, maybe one hand if you're pulling in the exact center. I...
