9 out of 17 Too much working on foreign cars growing up and I glad to say that I was too young for the old guy advantage (29)

I found an add on craigslist near me: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/tls/980047907.html I am wondering if this is a decent buy for a compressor that will be used for mechanical work 90+% of the time (ie. not for extensive body work, sand blasting, painting, etc). If it looks like a decent...

Re: Snap-On Racing NEW Screwdrivers & Matching Used 1/4" Dr. Ratchet, Speeder, Etc. How different are the handle profiles from the older hard handles?

I am firmly in the Dewalt camp. I use it for wiring houses and I really beat it up with larger self feed auger bits and big hole saws. I do have to rotate through three batteries to get through a tough day of drilling, but it works. I purchased the 4-piece kit (sawzall, 5.25" circular, XRP...

mid 90's or newer honda cars are really easy to work on

I have not posted a review because I haven't had the time to put the tools to the test yet, but they appear to be really high quality and I really like the satin finish. The satin finish is a lot more subtle than I was expecting and is really cool looking. Mike is great to deal with and I...

I really like the snap-on old hard handled screwdrivers that have already been mentioned, but since they aren't readily available they are a bad choice for me to use for work. For work I have been using the Kobalt screwdrivers from Lowes...

This is sort of off topic, but not really so here it goes. Are there any ~42" wide boxes less expensive than Snap-On, Matco, etc. that have drawers deeper than 18"?

I have one of these that I bought off of craigslist for $150 or $200 and it really works well for getting the essential tools to the car if the main toolchest is too far away. I like the open bottom more than a service cart with a full set of drawers because it gives me more room for bigger air...

And what did you think of the quality and feel of the TopTul tools? I already have some on order, but am just curious about thoughts from someone who has had first hand experience.

You could think about giving these a try: http://www.toptul-tools.com/4-1_701master_tool1.htm (second item down) - $42

OT: Do any of you know if SO will replace or repair one of their older plastic handled ratcheting screwdrivers if the bit holder is bent? I have had one for about 8 years that is now bent about 2-3% and I am interested in getting it repaired/replaced.

Now that I am finally back in town I should have my order finalized tomorrow and I will email it over to you. Thanks for the good support and answering the questions that I have come up with.

I should have guessed you would become interested in this... With the exchange rate you like so much this box will only cost you about the same as a carton of smokes. I can pick it up for you and send it as a gift in exchange for some of your orange handled overflow inventory. I even know a...

I didn't realize SO made models like that, so I was busy trying to find a toy company that made a kids box realistic enough to throw an SO badge on and sell. If I still worked building racks, drafting, and doing small electronics work I would think about picking something like that up to house...

I think the pictures are getting distorted by a fish eye lens since the extension and screw driver are curved at the same rate (or the original owner ruined them both on the same project?)

Funny you should mention that.... I was just talking to a fellow programmer today about some RFID technologies and programming strategies for an Army base. It shouldn't take too long before it gets handed down to tools. I am almost at the point I can triangulate the position of an RFID tag with...

It shows out of stock around me area as well.
