    Nothing Fancy.

    My boss and I whipped up a fifth wheel plate stand for one of the flatbeds at work, and I thought you guys might want to check it out. :) They are hauling chemical totes to a muddy location and are using this to keep the landing gear from sinking into the soft ground. I am primarily a diesel...

    For the heavy truck guys:

    Today I finally got to use my Tiger Tool 10102 severe duty u-joint press on an intermediate shaft on a 80-something R Model, and WOW. This tool turned an hours job into 15 minutes. No hammering, torching, jacking, or prying. No hassle. I can't believe I have lived without it for so long. Just...

    General Discussion Thread

    Would it be possible to start a General Discussion Thread within General Tool Discussion? This would be mainly for small things a user wants to share that does not merit a thread creation, and some discussion on the topic for a few posts/pages depending on how interesting. It would be one thread...

    New tool box!

    I bought a new tool box on Tuesday, and just now got pictures of it. It is a KRL7023 bought brand new from the "scratch and dent closeout" truck. I traded my box ($2900) and $2900 for the box. It has one scratch about an inch long on it and one of the handles has a very small ding in it. So far...

    What is everyone's favorite method of wrench storage? I am looking for something inexpensive, clean looking, and functional. Does anyone have any home-made holders they would like to show off? :)

    Less seen wrench brands

    I was just curious what some of the lesser seen wrench brands are. I was looking to upgrade my mismatched set of wrenches with less popular American made wrenches. I was looking along the lines of JH Williams, Armstrong, Proto, etc. What wrenches will stand up to the test of time? What are...

    Neat old regulator.

    After work today I did some plumbing to upgrade from 3/8 to 1/2 inch hose. I found a nearby air line that was used for bulk grease back in the 60's and 70's. The air line pressurized a barrel and the grease went back up through another line (really wish I wouldn't have taken that one apart...

    Buyers Remorse?

    Today the MAC man stopped in the shop, and as usual I felt like wheelin' and dealin'. I think I might have pushed it too far today. I asked him about any heavy duty tools he had, and he just picked up a used 3/4" IR 261 impact wrench. He wanted $150 for it, and I considered. We went out to the...

    Tool Marking

    I recently bought a 15 piece Snap On punch and chisel set, and to be quite honest, I am worried about them growing legs and walking off. I thought about engraving, but dont really want handwritten markings in my tools. Is there a way I can stamp my initials into them? I figured a stamp would be...
