I came to this thread hoping to see an honest review and comparison of the three brands mentioned in the title. I've been looking to do the same lately, as the OP, replacing my sockets with a single matching brand and SK is/was my first choice. American made and the SK wrenches that I have are...

I did something like this one summer at my old house. I didn't have a garage so I grabbed a table like this... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lifetime-4-ft-Adjustable-Height-Fold-in-Half-Table-in-Almond-80455/205825880 and used it to rebuild a 750 cc motorcycle engine over the course of several...

Greg, tried all of your suggestions too. The video is tough. It makes it seem like there is just enough space. Now i was never good at puzzles growing up and I've been called a dummy more than once, but I gave it my best shot. No matter the arrangement,I can't get the 12 trays to fit. What...

Hey Lightning, Before I posted that video I screwed around with the placement for a little while. I removed all the tabs that the trays come with trying to eek out every little square inch. After reading your post, I ran back out to the garage to try that, and they still won't fit. The...

I'm a total *****. My apologizes everyone. Earlier in this very thread I mentioned a video I recently made showcasing the toolbox the OP is looking into. In that video I stated that it is impossible to fit 6 of the harborfreight socket trays in the top box...boy was I wrong. I completely...

Never tried it myself so I can't really attest to its effectiveness and durability, but what about something like plastidip. Using the spray can, you could tape it off like you would for normal paint, and peel it off later if you want to change the color. Like I said I have ZERO experience...

Hey! Thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that the trays were that much different in size. I might have to look into that.

No matter how I arrange them, I can't get all 6 to fit. I know I could switch to socket rails or something else, but I have those trays, and I like them. I'll see about getting a short video or some pictures later tonight to better explain what I mean.

I had the same discussion in my head for a while before pulling the trigger on the HF box. It's a great box, and I figure that I could always expand it with a top box or side cabinets if necessary in the future. Made a short video. <iframe width="560" height="315"...

I noticed the same type of learning curve. Once you get how the saw behaves, it goes right through. The variable speed also can be adjusted as need for different materials.

Fabbing a stand isn't something I came up with. It's been done plenty of times, which is how I got the idea. Swag Off Road is a company that I know for sure makes these stands that are pretty much a directly bolt on and I haven't heard anything negative about them. The only thing I am...

thanks for all the replies everyone. As far as it's usage? I wanted to get something that was portable and flexible in the types of material it can cut. This saw so far has fit the bill. I have very limited experience in fabricating and wanted to get something that would expand my...

It wasn't that long ago that Harbor Freight's Deep Cut Portable Band Saw was revamped. The previous design was a different color and had a 6 amp motor. The new one has a stronger 10 amp motor. I have never used a portable band saw before, but for the price, I decided it was worth a shot...

I recently built a small work bench have 2 sections of pegboard on the back of it. They are on a some hinges so they can swing up and use the space behind for additional storage. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vZw9ut1O92Y" frameborder="0"...

very cool idea. I like seeing things re-purposed like that.

What about a couple of long magnets. I have them for my ratchets on a pegboard and love them.

I made a short video using vinegar on one of my grandfather's rusty pliers. Worked good.

It depends on your application. I've used the harbor freight kit a few times without any problems and was able to diagnose the problem successfully. Having said that it did not have an adapter for my personal vehicle so be careful, knowing that it doesn't not fit every vehicle. I have a 92...

Rebuilt a few engines, done a few timing chains. But my comfort levels lies with what I know the most about, the OBDI ford 302. Voted high, only because of the description of each option, but I have a lot to learn about diagnosis. My weak point would have to engine management systems. Nice...

I agree with getting the free ones from harbor freight. This is all I ever use. They work perfect and slide on grass and pavement just fine.
