l'm building a shop and want to expand my tool storage. l will likely just set the box(es) in place and leave them there. l'm considering just going with US General from HF, as they are a lot of box for the money, from what l hear. Please tell me what you like about yours and don't like. l...

The post says it all. I am going back to school and I want to get the best cheap tools I can...tools that will do a decent job but won't break the bank if they "disappear." I was looking at Tekton ratcheting wrenches. I also see decent deals on GearWrench. Any other suggestions?

So I am putting my Honda XR650L back together and discover that all of my torque wrenches are too big for the oil filter cover. It calls for 106 in/lb. A perfect opportunity to buy a new tool!!! What is the best small torque wrench for the money? Looking to stay under $100. I'm seeing a lot of...

A guy at work was telling me that some tool companies would send you a ratchet repair kit free if you need one. I had never heard this before. Anyone know about this? If one of my Snap On ratchets were to wear out would they send me a rebuild kit?

I really like a lot of the old American tools but most of them never made metric, because everything was standard back then. Does anyone know when US tool manufacturers started making metric tools, and who the first companies to do it were? Bonus if you have some and can show them off :)

I am looking for front cloth manual seats for a Toyota Landcruiser 80 series, preferably gray. I really just need the driver seat, but I would take the pair if you are unwilling to separate. My other three are from a '94, which would be ideal. Send PM

The door from the house to the garage is original from 1948 and solid. There is a spot that rubs too closely and when you open the door it makes this loud "CHIRP" sound that really bothers my wife (she has a very rare nerve condition). I want to sand it down so that it doesn't rub anymore, but...

I am considering getting a drill press for my garage. I don't have a huge shop but I do have a spot where I could put a smaller free standing press, or I could get a benchtop model. What are the pros and cons of each? Also, does anyone have recommendations for good ones that won't break the...

I have been looking at getting a new tool box for my garage. I currently have a Mac box but it is really more of a big service cart; I want more drawers to be able to be more organized. I found this Snap On box on Craigslist and it looks to be in good shape. I just wanted to learn a bit more...

Okay, here's what I have...I have a Snap On utility cart and some 18" tool magnets. I want to glue the magnets to the inside of the lid. I tried using epoxy and one bang and it fell off. I did it fairly hastily thinking it would be a no-brainer. Should I have scuffed the metal first? What type...

Snap On utility cart. Found it on Craigslist for $300.

Recently my gas hot water tank has started making noise, and it is getting louder, beyond just being an annoyance now. It seems to make the noise after we take showers or run the dishes or laundry, so I believe it is happening during the reheat cycle. Forgive me if I sound ignorant, I have never...

I have read some of the threads you Canadian guys have shared on Gray tools, and it sounds like they are pretty darn good quality for the money. I was wondering about the tool boxes? If they are decent this could be a good deal for only about $650 USD...

I have always wondered what this U-shaped wrench is called, and what is it used for?

I am selling my utility cart so I can buy a rollaway with more drawers. Price says $850, I would accept $700 http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/tls/5486120442.html

I am looking to get a roll away to replace my utility cart at work. I found this Snap On box on Craigslist. Can anyone tell me what it is, how old it might be, and if it has modern roller bearing drawers? Thanks http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/tls/5478574631.html

I am thinking that I would like to get a tabletop blasting cabinet. After watching a video where a guy used one to clean up a rusty vice, I was amazed. Is there a good one that will be dependable for years to come? Also, are the table top cabs all the same size? Exactly how big are they...

I bought this cart used a year and a half ago. The man l bought it from bought it new several years prior, and a back injury had pushed him out of work. He told me that Mac had put a recall on the drawer guides and had completely rebuilt them for free shortly before his injury, and that the box...

I received this little vise a few weeks ago in a tool lot. I have never seen one before. It looks like it bolts onto another piece of equipment. The only markings are "Made in USA." Can anyone tell me what it mounts to? It is kind of cool. Looks to be vintage.
