    When the tool trucks stop by your place of work...

    The most disorganized Garage (Warning to people with OCD)

    ridiculous amount of tool storage in there, wonder what the owner does for a living or just collects. It wouldn't take a long time to clean that place up and organize it all. I'd sell what isn't needed and make more room for other things. I see a few compressors and duplicate items as well.

    Road Tools In My Pickup

    Although it may be handy in some cases but I don't see myself needing a torque wrench for roadside repairs. If I need my torque wrenches I'll bring it with me but It's not something I use all that much. Can't bring myself to get a cheap TQ wrench either. I don't buy cheap brake parts for the car...

    Tool finish preference

    I like chrome, easy to clean and I usually wipe the tools i'm using down after with a rag and some degreaser and put them back in the box. I find the matte finishes seem to absorb the grease and dirt and make it harder to clean. My impact sockets and other black matte things I usually clean...

    Who's the professional here with only one brand of tools? Anyone close?

    I don't believe in one brand makes a professional. In fact tools don't mean SFA to me it's the experience that matters As long as the work gets done with the tools you have at hand. In my case i look at value, cost, availability, and quality I've got Snap On, Craftsman, Mastercraft...

    How to Organize a Toolbox

    I'm all for videotaping and itemizing tools for insurance purposes but just for the act of showing them off to millions on youtube that you have thousands of dollars in tools and for bragging rights is a good way to get ripped off or cleaned out seeing as how information is so easy to get on the...
