Not a fan of ratcheting, never had a good one. That could be because I've never bought one myself, receive crappy ones for gifts every so often. Slotted, Phillips and 1/4 inch drive are the basic requirements. Trying not to talk myself into more tools than I need. General household tasks...

Yup, solid advice. I'll be bringing a power screwdriver with 1/4" drive for the wife and interchangeability will help keep the toolbox small.

That's going to be one hell of a screwdriver! :beer: The Bronco and most of the tools are going into storage, we'll be back in a few years. I do however have a few other project Fords that I'd be happy to let you borrow as long as you follow Dad's golden rule for borrowing stuff.....return it...

Had that happen before at HD. Buying clearance cabinets to remodel a laundry room and a $250 base cabinet rang up for a penny. Felt like I stole something for a day or so...

Hi All, Looks like my job is taking me from my 3 car garage and detached one car work shop to a small apartment in Hong Kong. I'm putting together a tool box to take with me and to save space I wanted to pick up a regular length and a stuby multi bit driver. I was just going to grab a couple...

Stanley block plane and a couple of hand drills. Free.

Farmall, off topic but I spent much of my youth behind the wheel of an "H" and a 400. The starter on the H broke before I was old enough to drive tractor. Must have been highly entertaining for my Dad to watch his scrawny 100 lb kid start that thing with the hand crank.

Thanks! I've ordered many-a-part from Tom's! I actually grew up in oregon and my family still farms in the valley there (near McMinnville). Good points. Maybe I'll just see if it lingers on CL for a week or two then go look at it. Might find him willing to take a couple a hundred, and if...

Thanks for the feedback guys. The Bronco in my Avatar is what I'll be lifting the most, mid-rise would be fine because my garage only has 9' ceilings and the garage door tracks/opener are a lot lower than that (moving those up is part of a future plan). I also have a detached one car workshop...

Hey Folks, Not really in the market for a lift but I saw this on CL and thought it looked interesting, $750. I'd be more interested at a lower price but thought I'd reach out for some opinions. Thanks!

Here you go! Likely just a clean and lube before it goes to work in my garage.

Hey All, Picked this up at an estate sale for $40.

Hey All, New to the forum and CRTDI suggested I put this here....a Blackhawk 1/2" speeder I picked up for $2 at an estate sale.

Not as good today, 1/2" drive Blackhawk speed wrench. $2.

Though I only signed up a couple of months ago I've been lurking for quite some time and I've learned to take that as high praise! Thanks, it makes me feel even better about my purchase! It's funny you mention that because I was surfing this thread last night and thought to myself "now that...

Hello All, First post and my first go at Garage/Estate sales. Went out this evening with the wife and kids and found a few interesting things. 5 sockets - 1 Proto, 1 SnapOn and 3 "Long C" Craftsman 2 combination wrenches, one Proto and one newer Craftsman to throw in the box as a spare...
