I've searched several dozen GJ threads over almost as many pages for this info and come up empty handed. On the Beach tool box website they list a road chest as a new product. I've contacted the company and not heard back as to how to obtain one and what it might cost. Anyone know if these...

About a month ago I finally connected with a Fuel bandsaw. Brand new, new from an electrical parts retailer who does really good Milwaukee trade in sales twice a year. The saw is about what I envisioned. I have lots of M18 batteries and the run time on the saw is pretty good with a 4.0. I...

I have an older made in Canada UT22 that I keep my tig welding supplies in and I'd like to find another just like it. I've seen several threads about these boxes but I can't find who the original maker in Canada was. Does anyone know if these boxes can still be had from a Canadian manufacturer...

Last time I was on a Snappy truck I looked over their new battery grinder. Looks nice and somehow familiar. It hit me today where I've seen the low profile grinder head. I might be mistaken but they look to have the same angle drive on them. Kudos for going with Metabo parts of that is...

I'm in the market for a couple M28 batteries. A local retailer has them for $150 each new. I checked ebay and there are new M28, not V28, batteries listed anywhere from $95 with free shipping all the way to $180 or so with shipping. Anyone know why there are such discrepancies? Are the cheap...

I have aquired some early Li-Ion batteries that are no good. The tools still work fine. The local battery rebuilder does NiCad all day long but can't legally or safely do LiIon. If there was a way to safely and legally dispose of the lithium contents of my battery cases, could they be rebuilt...

I've been reading the threads on cordless tools and absorbing the stories and then I see the post about the battery powered welder and that is intriguing to me. Today, like a bolt, it hit me what the ultimate expression of liberation from cords would be. A light, semi-affordable, battery...

I have a rash of Milwaukee M18 tools accumulated over the last year or so and they have been perfectly adequate. Some of them are even really good, the Bluetooth radio and Fuel grinder are my personal favorites. I have the option now to buy a new V28 porta band for an agreeable price. I use my...

This site has been a huge eye opener for me in the last few years. I came here first because of the repository of knowledge of all tools new and antique. Good reviews and comparisons of new tools and history lessons on forgotten makes. I joined because I really like tools and using them but a...

Not talking software relevance here, just longevity of the hardware. I bought a lightly used Modis current through 11.8(?) with lots of adapters and Euro software last year because it was more than adequate for my needs on the cars I work on and was affordable. Now I'm wondering if the unit...

I don't know if this is a common topic but I'd like to build a manifold for the shop that would let me plug my torch into two or three spots and keep my bottles out of the way. The tech school I went to had a room full of bottles away from the work area and piped the gasses to quick connects...

My independent tool dealer is getting a Cornwell cart on trade. He says it's one with drawers top to bottom. I'm looking for a cheaper cart and his price sounds good. Are all Cornwell carts of the same build quality or are some cheaper? Are they just rebrands or are they made by Cornwell? I...

I hit up an estate sale yesterday as it was about over. The guy running it was desperate to get rid of stuff so he didn't have to move it back to storage. I showed a little too much interest in this old tool box full of antique engine rebuilding tools and he made me take it home for $15. There...

This is a small, 110v shear that I literally had to cut out of a tree that it had grown into. There are no punches with it and no shear blades. After cleaning and lubing it, it runs and turns alright. Could someone identify it for me or point me to parts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw this tonight. It's the first I've seen of Peterbilt branded tools. Are there any more? http://missoula.craigslist.org/tls/4454578103.html

We have an annual community auction tomorrow, a benifit for our local volunteer fire department. It going to be the 48th eddition. It's been billed as a country fair now for the last decade or so. We took our auction eve tour of the items to go for bid earlier today. The stuff is brought in by...

I was talking to a friend today about the tools we remember from growing up and how they shaped our tool buying today. Until I started my first job off the farm I didn't know drill presses didn't need pipe wrenches to open and close like our Taiwanese one did. I knew chuck keys existed but...

I've been after an OTC Genysis Evo in one shape or another, used. I've missed a few on eBay in the $500-600 range with a few attachments. I figure if I spend the money for a new mid-level scan tool on a better used one a few years old, I'm money ahead. I only do my own stuff and friends so I...

Kind of vague, I know. I remember seeing pics on GJ of a long SO box, blue, with all tools set in foam liners FOD style. Crows foot wrenches up to like 3", lots of tools and just nice to look at. I can't seem to find the thread and the Google hasn't been helpful. Any one know what I'm remembering?

On the Snap On boxes with the barcode sticker instead of stamped ID, is there a date of manufacture hidden in it? I don't have a picture of one right now. I'll try to find one.
