    What is so special about ChannelLock?

    I would expect this to be a very complicated undertaking to answer that question. You really need to be looking at company's financial statements as well as operational, marketing information et al. https://channellock.com/ At the bottom of this Web page. A fairly wide open statement that...

    Imagine not having tools.

    I lived in a one bedroom apartment for 12-13 years prior to buying my current house in AZ. I kept my tools neatly arranged in a storage closet that housed the water heater for my unit. There was a CM five drawer rollaway with a three drawer CM box on top. Milk crates held other tools that I used...

    Which grinder and which ratchet to keep

    - No idea on the grinder. - For me personally. I see little reason not to keep all the ratchets as they take up very little storage space.

It took less than five minutes to get everything ready and put the equipment away. Much of that time was spent blowing...

    So many people on GJ who have found some really nice vintage drill indexes. This person was probably not able to ... LOL So he made his own (well vintage style). I thought some might find it interesting even though he'll have to wait a few years before it is truly vintage.
