    Socket Storage. Can I see some ideas?

    I use these grip trays that are similar to the HF ones except they are bigger to actually fit the sockets and dont skip common sizes. Here is a link to where you can get them plus some pics of them in my toolbox. http://www.ruralking.com/tray-1-4-socket-sae.html

    I started looking at the set closer and decided to return them. They wouldn't fit on the socket tray because they weren't even. I tried getting another set thinking I could make one good one and return the bad one but it didnt work. The part that goes on the ratchet fo the 15mm was almost to the...

    I couldnt believe nobody bought it the entire day. The sale was only today as they were moving and didnt want to take any of the stuff with them. They said they only had like four other people come look around and nobody was even interested in the couple of tools they had. I already had enough...

    My neighbor came over this morning and he was cleaning out his garage and gave me a plastic storage container and B&D sander for free. Here are pics. I had a 20% off coupon so I decided to go to HF and look around. I still needed metric impact sockets and saw the set below on clearence for...

    I tried looking on the site again and I now dont see any of the trays listed. They must have sold out or something. I did see some on this site though, but its not where I ordered from so I dont know anything about the company. http://www.ruralking.com/tray-3-8-socket-sae.html another thing...

    np. I had the same feeling about the screwdriver rack when I first got the box, but decided it was better for me to just downsize in screwdrivers. I had like 3 or 4 of each size and type so I decided to go with the husky set and then keep a few other old ones to abuse. If I ever get to the point...

    I also decided to organize the drawer for ratchets, extensions, etc. I bought an aluminum cake pan for 1/4 stuff (1.00), 2 small pans [1 for the 3/8 and the other as an extra] (2.00 for both), and a metal tray organizer for the 1/2 stuff (3.97). I had some more drawer liner so I cut pieces and...

    Thought I had a live one

    yeah pictures can be deceiving. When I was looking at buying a car on craigslist I found one at a good price that listed it in good condition with no flaws and the pics looked great. I got there and the side that was photographed was all dented and only the outside was painted to "freshen it up".

    Tool Box Dilemma

    If I was the owner of the tool box, I think Id be happy with the 9500 considering the tow truck driver did a favor by going through insurance. If the job was simply done with some random persons trailer and this happened he never would have gotten anything so he should be happy with the 9500 and...

    thats just where I started cleaning out the drawers of my old box. I still have a big box of sockets to go through. But I do agree that if there are any empty slots, I will fill them even if its unlikely I will ever use that size

    np. I started putting sockets on and they fit very well. The only two problems I had was with the 10mm on the 3/8 tray, the socket was hard to pull off at first but I cleaned the socket and it now seems to be better. I also had a little problem on the 1/4 tray with the 9/16 being closer to the...

    I will post pics as soon as I get it filled. I have class all day tomorrow so it will probably be sometime friday. I was originally going to use this tray for the husky screwdriver set I got, but it didnt work as well so I decided to use it with my torx and nut drivers. I just have to do some...
