    Service truck/mobile/truck tool boxes thread!

    Here is our truck, before the new box. Now the box actually matches the truck. It's a 97 F-250 with a 7.3. We use it for everything, installs, service, hauling scrap, daily driver, etc. We put in garage doors, in case you didn't figure it out. It's nothing special by any means, but it gets...

    The Emergency Stop Messed Up My Sensors

    It almost sounds like you have a bad set of safety eyes or an issue with your circuit board. They can go bad over time, so nothing out of the ordinary there. I am curious though, why did you release the door in the first place? Did you have a power failure during a storm? There have been times...

    How do you hide garage door wires?

    That looks nice. We have had to run them like that in certain situations. Just make sure the wires are stapled good and tight, so the door can't rub on them.

    Milwaukee M18 gets my vote.

    Looking for an EDC knife

    I like my Leek so far, though I have only had it for like a week. I really like the one handed opening, it is convenient and also has the cool factor to me. One of the biggest reasons I bought it was because the blade is straight, so sharpening it on a stone should be real easy. I can't think of...

    Penetrating oil

    This is my go to- https://www.bgprod.com/catalog/specialty/bg-in-force/ It seems to work way better than PB Blaster IMO. I also think it works better than the ATF/acetone mixture.

    Which light? Milwaukee Fuel M18 2.0 battery?

    Very good light. From time to time we end up working in a dark garage/storage unit, and it really lights it up. They are also supposedly very tough, when we bought it they were bragging it up how you could kick it across the room or throw it at the wall or something like that.

    Which Is The Best Grease Gun?

    I have a Lincoln pistol grip and a Kubota(re branded Lincoln?). Both have served me very well. I know I prefer the pistol grip over the other types, I ended up giving those away.

    Corded Hammer Drill Recommendations

    I think this is the one we have(or very similar)- http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/Pages/BoschProductDetail.aspx?pid=11253VSR#benefits We have had it for quite a few years now. I would go buy another one if it messed up and wouldn't even think about it. We don't use it everyday, but it...

    Huge Oil Stain help

    Yes! This stuff works awesome. Our trucks have always left little oil spots in the garage since we built it and it took care of them, or it took care of most of it.

    Aluminum Cleaning

    I have cleaned up some aluminum wheels before and you are on the right track. I used aircraft stripper to take care of the clear coat. That stuff is nasty, use gloves and safety glasses! I found a hose works good to take it off too. It may also take a couple applications. From there I sanded...

    I don't really know how to explain how sharp it is. It is ridiculous, it is like razor blade sharp. This is my first Kershaw. I was eying the Snap On versions, but ordered this instead. I ordered it straight from Kershaw's site and it was $92 to my door. Found out after the fact you can save a...

    See-through Rollfront Garage Doors

    Not trying to start an argument here, as this has nothing to do with the original post, but you are wrong, I do this stuff everyday, it's my job. All of the residential openers we sell are 1/2hp, all of the light commercial openers we sell are 1/2hp, and all but a few of the commercial openers...

    See-through Rollfront Garage Doors

    The hp of the opener has nothing to do with a door's weight. The springs are what actually lift the door, not the opener. The only job the opener has is to raise and lower the door. However, there are different grades of openers- residential, light commercial, and commercial. Just sayin...... I...

    See-through Rollfront Garage Doors

    I can't either, seems like a huge safety hazard any other way. I just looked and there are options for different types of glass- http://www.chiohd.com/garage-doors/commercial-doors/aluminum Not sure what DSB is? Like I said, we have only done two I think. Edit- DSB is double strength glass...

    See-through Rollfront Garage Doors

    We have installed a couple of CHI full view doors and they are very expensive. I would recommend you check them out though, they are a very very strong door. Raynor also makes them, but I don't know if I have ever seen one of theirs. Also, not sure if it is standard or not, but you might...

    Mac wood handle drivers

    They are definitely older, although how old, I have no idea. I inherited some of those from my grandpa. I never knew they were macs, learn something new everyday.

    ID?

    Kind of what I was thinking too. I'm no machinist though, just have seen them in youtube vids.
