    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    My Hazet Assistent 162 was overflowing with tools already so I have been on the hunt for the bigger 172 HD. This one will also accommodate the Hansen socket trays more easily. Found a nice one this weekend (my 162 looks empty, but I took a lot of tools out already) It still has the tray...

    ABRM Feedback

    Bought two sets of Snap-on sockets from ABRM. Communication was great and shipment was fast. Because I live overseas I had the sockets shipped to a buddy in the US. ABRM helped me out here. Would recommend him.

    Bought them locally actually. They were on sale at my favorite hardware/auto parts store. I believe it was something like 38 euro's for the set.

    Tools from the old world

    My Black&Decker angle grinder died on my after 8 years of loyal service. Never thought it would hold out that long. As a replacement I opted for some German sweetness. Runs smooth like butter and due to the slim body, very comfortable to work with.

    I already own the 3/8" wobble plus set and love them. Last week I ordered the 1/4" and 1/2" sets as well. You just need to use them in a certain way and they work perfect with either the solid or the wobble function.

    6th Annual Garage Journal Secret Santa (Official Thread)

    This wasn't such a good edition for me. I strongly believe my SS came trough but I do believe our postal service f****d it up. The tracking shows it was delivered to my workplace but no one has seen it or signed for it. The postal service here is a mess and this is not the first time something...
