there are a bunch of "buy it now" snap-on f80 ratchets on ebay right now, with prices like 39.95. did snap-on announce something at the dealer show that would cause the price of those ratchets to soften so much? i know that there is a thread about the soft prices seen for tools on ebay...

ok, so consider these wrench sets: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F512HOU/?tag=atomicindus08-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F512F4M/?tag=atomicindus08-20 both tekton double box flex head wrench sets, one metric, and one SAE. the SAE set is has, as an example, 5/16 x 3/8, and 9/16 x 5/8...

i have some kobold socket rails like this one: http://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-Aluminum-Socket-Rail-SAE-MM/50149618 and i was wondering who made them. it is not that i am looking for a cheaper source, i dont think they are overpriced, rather i am looking for some for 3/4" socket rails. i...

it does not matter if you special built it, repurposed an existing structure, work out of the one car attached garage, or have one of those "instant garages": if you could make one change to the space you work in, what would it be? i would add a bathroom. you never realize how much you use...

i posted about this in the Wanted section, but it has gotten no views, and since it is really not a tool i am looking for, i thought i would take a risk, and post something here, since a lot of toolbox discussions seem to occur here. i find myself in need to two 8-468, listed by mrshaun in a...

i find myself in need to two 8-468, listed by mrshaun in a previous thread as: – 8-468 18 Channel Track, False Side (Drawers 2,3,4) for a kr555 bottom chest (although likely used in other boxes). i also need the right side (as you are facing it) brace that holds the top up on a kr550 top...

i bought a second kr550/555 stack. this one only has 8 drawers in the bottom, as opposed to the 9 my other stack has. aaaannnnnyyyywwwwaaaaayyyyy . . . .. when i got it home today, i removed the drawers to make it easier to get out of the truck. one of the top box drawers had this written...

i have a stick welder i got years ago for, well, i dont really remember why. all i remember is that i hated using it. i never got the hang of it, and my welds always sucked. i remember doing OK in shop class in HS with the torch, but that was always with new stock. now i am restoring a car. i...

ok, i repainted a KR555, and got new slides for it. they went in smoothly, and seem to operate easily. so easily, that the lube stick i bought for lubing them (recommended in another thread) didnt get used. they pull out about half way, hitting the stops correctly. so, i figured out how to the...

there are threads here that reference this web site as one that sells drawer guards for snap on boxes. the web site seems dead now. has it moved elsewhere? does anyone still have contact with them?

so, i was wondering if, when new, these boxes came with a manual or listing sheet showing an "exploded diagram" of the boxes with a list of what the part numbers were for everything that had a part number. if they are around, are there images of them anywhere i could get? thanx.

i bought the five gallon oil drain dolly: http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/lubrication/5-gallon-oil-drain-dolly-90582.html which i have been waiting on for a long time. now that i have it, they can put it on sale for 40$, as they have sporadically in the past.

when did the transition from 9 to 8 drawers in the kr555 happen? did it even happen? i have a 79 that has friction drawer glides, and 9 drawers. i thought roller bearings and 8 drawers appeared in the kr655, but i am noticing other boxes people are identifying as kr555's with 8 drawers. i...

i have been thrashing about getting new tool storage for awhile now. i've made spreadsheets, i've compared harbor freight, home depot, and several levels of craftsman boxes. I've documented the space the tools i have use, how tall the drawers need to be, and how many of each depth drawer i am...

i can't believe i am even considering this, but here you go. i am looking at some snapon cabinets. sometimes, they have letters after the model number. i think today they are paint codes and such, but 30 years ago, i think that they referred to "generations" of the cabinets. one i see often is...

so, i stopped by hd tonight after dropping the youngest at gymnastics. i found a few interesting things: 1) there is a boat load of rolling and top chests there, everything from small, 100$ sets up to their 52 inch top and bottom sets. as an example, they had two unwrapped 41" t/b sets on...

right now, they are spread between the garage group and the tool group. it is a common topic, and there is a considerable amount of rehashing, which might be better controlled if there were a dedicated sub-group for it.
