Rusty, that's the one. Got an extra?

Another thing that's interesting is that truck tools don't seem to be any more expensive than they were way back when. If anything, they have probably come down. Look at this link: http://www.collectingsnapon.com/catalogs/catalogs.php?loggedin=0&catalogPage=1291 How many working mechanics (I...

I'm not a professional mechanic, I expect to lose money on projects and tools, but to me it's worth buying extravagant tools because it turns a chore into playing with toys. Ergo... I end up doing stuff that I would have put off (chores.) Inspiration. I also suspect that having a spouse or...

Thanks guys, I bet the one he had was the Stanley. that Facom looks nice though. Strangely, and I know it's my fault for asking, but I think I liked it better when I didn't know. There's a lesson in here somewhere for me.

+1 for clear plastic, my vote would be for Lexan though.

Re: Tips & Tricks The coolest one I've seen lately is my buddy's trick of using the bottom shelf of a NOT STOLEN shopping cart, just above head high, for hanging hammers, mallets, etc. Wish I could claim that one.

Hi everyone, been lurking this board for years and figured I'd make an account. I wanted to revive this thread just to ask if I can put BB slides in a Matco box from '82? I just got a SO KRL722, and while it's a fantastic box I kinda prefer having lots of smaller drawers over a few huge ones...
