    Nice drive in the country this morning to little town called Macungie for a garage sale. Tools were junk, but did manage to pick up a box of old license plates and a USA Craftsman folding knife. I recently bought an old Mustang that came equipped with the latest in sound systems the...

    Do you buy tools for yourself or ...

    I find myself more often than not buying two of something and then giving one to the kid. If/when the grandkids become gearheads it's going to get real expensive for me!

Was greeted by 5 sign & toy guys standing around at the driveway gate along with a "parking attendant". Driveway was 1/2mile long with gate at the 1/4 mile...

    Metal socket rails - is there a trick to these?

    If you can find the old-school Craftsman ones at a garage sale they're the good ones. Every steel clip rail I've seen in thr stores function just as you described; sockets fall off or you have to force them on and then the whole clip comes off when you pull the socket. The plastic rails with non...

    The oscillating multi-tool. Too hard to remember that name every time we need to look for it so we renamed it "Bob". This thing is great for drywall cuts and cleareancing just about anything.

    When Hansen wants you to buy sockets you don’t need 🤣

    My 3/8 impacts wouldn't fit in the metric tray. I bought some Fusion spray paint at Lowes, it bond's really well to plastic. Hosed down an SAE rack in the light gray metric color and used a sharpie to relabel the pegs. SAE rack is the same size with two less pegs and gave enough clearance for...

    US General Series 3

    Fully modular, wonder if that means you can move drawers around to your liking? New latches, probably going to the full drawer width latch? Deeper drawers, is that further back or taller?

    I like to always talk to the Estate sale guys when they show up and ask where the tools are, are they going to open the garage first and where the line up will be.
