    Snap On 30 ft Retractable Extension Cord w/ 13W Light

    Not that great of a deal if you have Costco near by. I bought 2 on sale for $28 bucks Last I checked, regular price is $39 bucks. Might be made in China, but been using mine for the last year and still has plenty of retracting power.

    Gladiator Cabinets and Benches worth buying?

    Sears has the welded units on sale from time to time. Bought 4 welded 30" wall cabs on sale for $99 each. I think they weigh about 30-40 lbs each IIRC. I didn't buy any of the wall track as I just used 4 lag bolts with doubled up fender washers and attached to the studs.

    Best cordless screw driver?

    Impact drivers is night and day difference than a drill. If all you have is a drill, try some impact driver bits. Last way longer than regular drive bits. Also if the bit keeps skipping in the screw head, swap the bit. Even though the bit is harder than the screw, it still wears the bit down...

    How to Paint Stripes

    Pull the tape back over itself. Like touching non sticky side to non sticky side. I used the same exact approach, only I pulled the tape after I finished painting, so the paint was still damp.

The tool cab is to store tools and keep them safe. Start of shift, they load the tool cart with the tools they will need for the day, and wheel the...
