    Picked up some Craftsman wrenches

    Similiar experience here. They're offset a little bit which doesn't make a ton of sense to me since you can't turn them over. I bought the metric set which doesn't contain the 10-12mm, rediculous. I got on the craftsman website and it doesn't even look like they make one. In the end I told one...

    In the spirit of giving...

    Great idea, I was going through some excess tools I had the other day and almost made a thread seeing if anyone wanted to trade. As mentioned I have this extra and I need this etc. I'm interested in how something like this could be organized?

    large box top

    I've seen some SO boxes that have bolts through the top of the box and into threaded inserts in the work surface.

    toolsdelivered.com??

    Glad I stumbled upon this thread. I may be convinced me to shop with this place considering A: the responsiveness of the retailer and B: the in stock items are only a couple states away. I hate waiting for things from the east coast and havent had much success finding companys with warehouses on...

    Bull's Call: Time to Rally, Folks

    I know I've only been here a short while but I would like to contribute. Who do I PM for more info on where to send some things? I know I have some extra welding stuff and tools that I hope would be useful.

    Wobble extensions - Should I buy a whole set?

    I too took advantage of this weekly deal from my SO man. I ended up going with the regular extensions though. The free ratchet is awesome considering I needed one to match my long handle anyway. I've used the wobble plus extensions before and I liked them. As some commented though there are...

    Exhaust Manifold Gasket Baked On.......

    If you had air I would say surface prep hands down. But since you don't find an abrasive wheel and/or wire wheel for an electric handheld grinder.

    Battery Cell Voltage Tester (wet)

    I've seen one affixed to the battery box on an Oshkosh but all you do is dip it in one cell and a small green LED turns on at the top. I've never seen ones that goes from cell to cell. If you want I could most likely find out some more info on that paticular type.

    KD = Kinda Disappointed

    I used to have a decent set of KD tools in my military shop, I never had any problems with them. Now that 4-5 years have gone by KD seems to be going downhill. This itself is about as much evidence I need not to look any further into buying their stuff.

    Tools for a Heavy Equipment/ OTR Truck Tech

    The power probe will double as a test light, and man are those things awesome. I'd suggest looking into an adapter kit for all the male/female electrical pins you'll run into and need to test along with a quality multimeter as mentioned earlier.

    Tools for a Heavy Equipment/ OTR Truck Tech

    Which trucks will you mainly be working on? I couldn't live without my 3/4" drive set, big pry bars, and cheater pipes. If you're getting into hydraulics the 4-way wrenches are awesome. Strong power tools, brake tools, and big hex keys. That's about all I can think of for now.

    How OCD are you about color?

    The hostility makes me laugh. We all have our opinions, thanks for sharing. I know I've been in situations where I've had to make due with what I had. I've reached a point in my life where I can enjoy a nice set of tools, so I don't see anything wrong with being professional looking. This is...
