I never get anything from them. Im a card carrying member of the Craftsman Club and can't even get the Craftsman club sales sent to me. If you don't use your card twice per year on the sale items, it gets cancelled. Yet they won't send you the sale flyer. If you go in the store and ask about the...

Did you get something in the mail, or are you going by their website? The items on the website that are on sale are through today only. I've tried 4 times to get a set of regular Gear wrenches on sale and every damn time I go in they're out of them. I'm going through the town where my nearest...

Lowe's carries these for about the same price. I looked at them. Don't think I would like it as an add on. I use a miter saw more than any other tool in my woodshop. I can see where these would help with accuracy and lining up the blade to make a cut. My older saw had the blade guard covering...

I too am a weekend warrior, so tool trucks are off limits for me. I do keep a list in my pocket of what I need. If I don't, I buy duplicates instead of what I need by priority. My top 5 needs (alway subject to change :thumbup: ): 1. Gear Wrenches (Sears out every time I go to get a set while on...

What do you recommend - Light Days or the Maxi pad variety? :lol_hitti

Yeah - baby food jars!!! I built a shallow wall cabinet to hold 60 jars and put it on the wall of my wood shop for storing little stuff. Can't beat 'em. (My kids are long grown. Got them from someone I know).

I got a new catalog in the mail the other day. I have some Channel Lock stuff, but really been considering their adjustable wrench. Thanks for sharing the info!!!

Used to have a tool truck next door. Neighbor drove a Mac tool truck for a long time. I used to go over and drool all over his truck but could never afford to buy from him. If a tool truck pulled up in front of my house, my wife would gun me down before I made it across the front yard:shoot5:

Been there, done that and these are a trick!! Go for it!!:thumbup:

My old chest wasn't deep enough to keep sockets upright, so I kept hammer, tape measures, flashlight, and anything I used often on top. Too often it became a catch all as well. My newer chest I use now is plenty deep enough to keep my sockets upright on metal rails. I mounted the rails to 3/4...

I have a 10" drill press and it too is very top heavy. I don't have it bolted down, and never have. Its on a roll around table I built which has a larger surface than the tool chest you have pictured. I would think if you bolted it to a piece of 3/4 plywood that would replace the hard board on...

I'm not a professional and I don't buy off a tool truck, but, I buy a lot of used tools. I buy fill in sizes and extras from flea markets. Usually Craftsman. If they break they're replaced under warranty. I always make sure they aren't rusted or abused, because I buy them to use, not return...

I overlooked that Coats tire changer first time I viewed your post. Man that brings back memories. I used one identical to that a few times in the mid 70's as service manager for a Western Auto store!!!!

What eschoendorff said!! I wanna come over and play too!!! :bounce:

I don't care for the clip rails either but, same as you guys, they are space savers. I ripped stips of 3/4 thick wood an inch or so wide and screwed the rails to them. Painted the wood grey for metric and red for sae and stand them upright as you have yours in the top tray of my chest. Works and...

Agreed!!!!

I've got several pieces of Wizard sockets and wrenches ( I posted this in the another thread). I don't know when the Husky brand evolved from New Britain, but I have a 1/2" drive Husky set I bought years ago. I'm thinking the early 80's but could be wrong on that. Also have a few odd pieces of...

My Dad worked for Western Auto for years. I worked for them for about 3 years out of high school. I have several odd pieces of Wizard sockets and wrenches that Dad had, as well as a few I bought back then. Western Auto was originally based in Kansas City if I remember right. It was sold to...
