Another vote and thumbs up for Sunex. Genius stuff if right up there too though.:thumbup:

I also have about 10-12 of these. Best bang for very-little-bucks out there and small enough to be stored easily and used regularly

My first experience with Tekton has not been that great from a quality control aspect. Just ordered the Metric & SAE flare nut wrenches from Amazon. Problem is I received two 10mm & 12mm wrenches where one needed to be the 3/8 & 7/16 SAE wrench. :dunno:

Top Box Pix

My "backup" SAE wrenches are a set of the old 80's vintage (I bought new back in the day) GRAY Maple Leaf line. They were the value series from Gray and while not polished they were/are a very tough set of wrenches probably comparable to Armstrong or Proto would be my guess. Sorry for the poor pic.

Hi there, welcome back to GJ. Nice write up on the toolbox, you could have been a journalist. Hope to see more of you around these parts.:beer:

I was wondering the same thing. Its called "work hardening" I believe

My main multimeter is a Fluke 83. Had it for almost 20 years and it is an excellent, accurate and reliable unit. Will measure anything an non-electronics guy would ever need to measure and then some. Great freebie! :thumbup:

A set of FELO mini-torx screwdrivers. Just in case...someday....you know...

Agreed, but make sure you take something relative to what employers are looking and willing to pay for. Trade college or technical vocational 2 year programs are a better route to a good career than many of the 4 year degree programs like political science or humanities or arts, etc,etc.

THIS!!! I was thinking exactly the same thing:beer::beer::beer::beer:

I couldn't bring myself to sell another man's toolboxes. Must be something in the "Manly Handbook" to cover this type of situation.....:lol_hitti

I've used the commercial door option like some others here and it holds up very well and also cheap -or free sometimes. My next option might be one of the metal galvanized fire doors, they look tough as $hit and are seriously heavy duty. Don't know how the galvanized finish would hold up but it...
