    Let's see your toolbox.

    Yes, bought them new. My dealer then used to come by my house - I never worked as a mechanic but I’ve been buying tools since I was 14. He was only a dealer for a couple years; he also owned a local gas station and the oil company forced him to drop the tool route. The guy that picked it up...

    High-RPM small drills

    https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/tools/electric-handy-drill/ Not high speed by any means but works fine on styrene and soft wood. And it’s actually a plastic model kit!

    Looking into buying an older Snap On Tool Box

    I had a Lauda Air sticker on the box, which did come from an aircraft mechanic I knew

    Looking into buying an older Snap On Tool Box

    That’s where I traded mine in on a KRL1023. Not an aircraft mechanic, just a guy who bought too many tools over the last 55 years. I’m glad it found a good home, they had it on display for a couple years in their shop. (The roll cab served as a microwave cart in our first apartment in Phoenix...

    Looking into buying an older Snap On Tool Box

    Given your handle that might be my old box. But I had a 647 (?) 3 drawer middle section.

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Show your "Mini" Tool Box.

    Bought this to keep the cats out of the small **** on the dresser. It took the smart one about two minutes to open the drawers. No lock and roll….

    Garden hose quick disconnects that don't ****.

    What's the biggest socket size you have ?

    2-3/8 3/4 drive from a Craftsman set I bought for $99 about 45 years ago. I haven’t turned many bolts or nuts with them, but they make good adapters on the hydraulic press.
