Thanks for the replies. It probably looks more awkward than it really is. Since these boxes are for "clean stuff" I wont be loading them as heavy as the boxes that I use for my normal tools. The horizontal rails that run the length of the chest are spaced about 17 inches apart, so the point of...

I purchased the HF cabinet about 5 years ago, when I needed some storage for "clean" tools & supplies. The extra work surface has come in handy too, as long as I can keep the clutter from gathering up... As my need for storage never seems to catch up with my desire to straighten up and...

One option would be to remove the tool box wheels and permanantly mount the tool box towards the front of the trailer. Having the weight towards the front of the trailer and fully dispersed (instead of at the 4 points of contact of the casters) would be a move in the right direction. You would...

Totally not mourning this deal. With the lack of a normal chuck plus the rear tooling, this would not be of much use in its current configuration. I posted this before I realized exactly what kind of lathe it was. Now, I have recently passed on a couple of SnapOn boxes (top, middle, bottom $350...

larry, thanks for the info. I did not know that this did not have a normal chuck..

I cant bring home any more big stuff, otherwise I would be all over this: http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/tls/2241782941.html

Perhaps: "Throw in a dash of (what could easily be considered) anti-semite, and this post just doesnt seem quite right " detracted from my observation regarding the situation (which I still stand by). I didn't think that the remark about the email name was meant to come off that way, but it is...

"How can people do business with Craigslist and not be scammed?" - (1) you werent doing business with Craigslist. You were doing business with someone who was using CL as a tool to commit fraud. (2) CL clearly has links to "avoid scams & fraud" and "personal safety tips" posted on their main...

I had the predicessor to that one, the one with the yellow case. The first one I had featured a display that was upside down and backwards. I had to use the rearview mirror of the car to read the display. Obviously, I exchanged it, and the replacement works fine.

This pic looks really familiar, like I may have seen it on Craigslist Dallas... $50.

Why does "owner markings" or other engravings devalue the tools so much? To the buyers willing to pay top dollar (what ever the top dollar is for used, in good condition) for a name brand tool, the value of the "romance of the chrome" is gone when the previous owner's name is engraved on the...

** A good auction company, with this amount of tools, will have 200 trucks show up on a saturday, and bring in $15-30k (before their cut). This is probably the most painless way to get a decent return on the collection. If she hires someone to do it ebay, she's going to end up with just about...

Yeah, the "well endowed girl" is still posting the $400 lot of tools every other day on Dallas Craigslist. Reduced from $7500 to ONLY $3250. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/tls/2203080251.html

I haven't been on here long, and have already seen a few "trying to help grieving widow with tools" posts, all with pretty much the same advise. There is a reason that eBay consignment stores charge 40% commish: eBay selling is a lot of work! For instance, a $300 used SO wrench set would go for...

This stuff was likely gone before the craigslist ad even went live. In my area, curbside items do not last long at all. In fact, many times the item dissapears before I can drag another item from the garage to the curb. I have had two ladies out in the street fighting over a broken particle...

***The owners of the critters that are roaming the streets are the ones who should be tortured! The animals are just doing what is natural for them! I feel for those of you who live in the city and have to deal with this ongoing issue. We live out in the boondocks and typically if we see a cat...

ihredo4 - "Nobody takes responsibility for their actions" - Does anyone else see the irony in this statement? mdbeck1 - You had several cats using one litter box, you would clean it out every seven days, and the cats were peeing outside the box? If several people were using one toilet and...

R6 Racer - Well said.

"This is classic. Dog people vs. cat people." Right? Thank you. Almost makes me want to find a good "harbor freight -vs- SnapOn" thread. As for trapping and removing the cats, cyane pepper in the garden, and washing the porch off with vinegar, all good ideas. Chances are good that the animal...

The drawer is a pull out metal box of crimp connectors.
