I bought the Sunex 3/8 impact swivels in metric and used them for the first time a weekend back. I was very impressed with their performance, fit on fasteners etc.. Going forward I will be looking for more Sunex. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Nice find, enjoy the process and take your time. These old boxes are a some of all the work, so metal prep, paint prep is going to eat a ton of time but once it's done it will be preserved for that little gear head Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

I've had my Craftsman bars for about 12 years, never needed to "upgrade" them. I say they're a great deal and one of the few made in USA products left @ Sears. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Oh man.. I"ll give ya 60 for it as they say.. nicely bought.. Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

What to pay and what a good prices are is like trying to predict the weather. Location, demand, the sellers knowledge or ignorance all come into play. I say it's your money, you earned it and it gets you something of value that will last. Enjoy your box it looks great! Sent from my KFSOWI...

×2 on the grocery store. It was in the canning aisle of our local grocery chain. 4 bucks for what would be a lifetime supply of drawer slide lubricant ;) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Haha, you've got a good point, I'm a big amazon tool buyer, so whem she's sees our account (like the swivel impact sockets I just bought) I get busted.. I have the lock cylinders in my boxes but the locks have no keys. I'm ok with that since the boxes are in my home garage and to be honest...

You're welcome! using the old friction slide boxes are definately a "retro" experience, but the 3 boxes I have feel like they'll last a thousand years. There's a box similar to yours on Craigslist right now and I'm tempted[emoji51] I can already hear my wife saying, "you bought another...

My Snap on friction slide drawers were like that after paint and re-lubing. Time has made them slide much easier, but they require a firm pull to get the drawers open compared to a ball bearing slide. Nice clean up and enjoy! Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

I have some SK wrenches that I have used over the years and they are fine tools. I also have the gear wrench stuff, no problems with them either. If made in USA is important, go for SK, they'll last a lifetime. I was looking at the Napa Carlye tools and they are pretty nice too. Sent from...

I've bought some, they warrantied some. With any customer service it's up to the person at the other end if it will warranty or customer pay. Either way, Snap O. Has generally good customer service reps in my experience. Compared to say.. a cable company, they are rock stars! The old slides...

Extensions have been a constant source of frustration for me, they have never been where I wanted them. In my Harbor Freight 44" box I use the narrow drawers for 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 drive tools and accessories. 1/4 in the #1 drawer , 3/8 #2 drawer and 1/2 in the 3rd. Any none power hand tool...

I have a Streamlight flashlight I bought for 17 bucks, it's my favorite light. If you need pocket knives, Amazon has a lot of good prices on them as well. I like to stash a pocket knife and flash light anywhere I can, those 25 dollar amazon cards never go to waste! Sent from my KFSOWI using...

I've got a Joe's Racing gauge with 1 PSI increments i got off of Amazon. It's dead nuts to the TPMS on my 14 Silverado, the Mrs 2012 Equinox, which is fine by me. I had a Blue Point inflator for years but it finally started leaking so badly I couldn't use it any more. The Joe's gauge and an...

I'm of the mind that if you spend your money on a product, you don't need to justify why to anyone. I like some Snap on, some Mac, some Craftsman and Harbor Freight. Does anyone company/ brand serve all customer's needs at the optimal price point? Nope. That's why Maserati Quadroporte's and...

Agreed. Good pliers, side cutters and screwdrivers are the place a DIY guy should spend some bucks, at least for hand tools anyway. My chrome sockets have held up fine over the years(no impact use!) but cheap pliers ehh..errr.. well.. not so much. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

SK and Armstrong make nice stuff. I bought my Snap on ratchets off of Ebay, they were about 25-40 bucks a piece for the 30 tooth ratchets I got. Some were mint some were used, but now they are all used [emoji16] A good compressor will make a HUGE difference in your shop work. I have old...

Looks great! What paint/materials did you use? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

For non professional use, any of those are good choices. but I have a cats and dogs mix of Craftsman, Kobalt, Armstrong etc.. which for my uses as a home guy are just fine. I've worn out impacts but my chrome tools seem to be fine some after 8 years of pro use and home duty. My Lowe's has...

I bought a 50's 3/8 Craftsman for 2 bucks at a flea market/thrift store. It's neat but I've not used it. I think it will be handy for small engine stuff where clearence isn't such a big deal. On the other hand I've spent 16 years without one... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
