x2. Just picked up a used lista box and it's amazing. Construction can't be beat. Real ball bearings.

Me too. Awesome deal!

The lizard in the background is fantastic. I want one. Did you make it? Great job on the vise also.

This was in downtown Sacramento, right? I totally forgot about it and it was raining anyway. Oh well. I like the Snap On box.

I want to hear the answer to this too. I read from another post someone used lemon juice on a wrench. I've never tried it.

Great find!

Received ratchet today. Thanks.

I was tracking this and was planning to bid ~$40, but not even close. I've only seen 3 CM RHFT ratchets at the swapmeets and have bought every one.

I think there should be a family discount or something. $400 sounds reasonable for family. I'm giving my dad my HF 41" box and refinishing my 2 old mac boxes.

That Craftsman 1/2" flex RHFT would go for stupid amounts of money on eBay. So you know in case you want to recoup a little bit.

First up is a Snap On KRA 24 for $4. It's rusty and needs paint, but I like projects. It had a bunch of electrical parts in it, but the guy was willing to sell just the box. Wooden MAC screwdrivers for $3. Never seen these before. The guy wanted to sell the whole box of tools for $30, but I...

I'll take one of the ratchets. Let me know your paypal. Thanks.

Call multiple Ace Hardware and check to see if it's in stock. Also, you can order online and pick up in store.

If you're talking Coronado Ave down near Imperial Beach, I'd say not really. Not sure on 32nd street. I would say Kobey's by the sports arena. Lots of new vendors though. Spring Valley has a little bit.

Here's a No 7 ratchet I found at a swap meet. It's cool, but I wonder if I mailed it back to Snap On, they'd send me back an S80. It seems to work fine. Can't really use it without the other tools. Not sure where the date code is, but doing some research says it's from the late 20s to early 30s.

I keep buying vises, it's getting ridiculous. Here's the most recent pickup this weekend. It's a Wilton Tradesman 1760. It's missing the swivel base and pipe jaws. I did find some replacements for ~$10. Not sure if they're going to be garbage quality. I figure one of these days I'll take a...

I think it was autopts who said that if it was Chicago made, it was 50s or earlier.

I read somewhere that wright drive was coming to metric wrenches in Jan.

For the people that haven't seen them in the store, you might check online to see if your sears store even has them. If it's in stock, they're probably hiding in the back.

I ended up picking up the box for $140. Here's a picture: This was in one of the drawers: It's a 1979 MAC catalog. The catalog says it's a MB520. I can't find a date stamp anywhere. Anyone know where it is? There's a good bit of rust, so I plan on stripping it down and a repaint. There are...
