Thanks for the info and links Wild Cowboy, some good reading there. :beer:

Yup, that's basically it minus the swivel base. I guess that would be what the "X" suffix is.

Good day all. I bought an old C. Parker vise today and am beginning the process of cleaning it up. I'm trying to find some information on it, but nothing is really available on the web or here. What I can tell you is its a 5" jaw non swivel. Model 259 patented in 1906 and weights a ton!:lol: Any...

I've got about 40 WERA screwdrivers and like them a lot (except for constant cleaning of the soft handle grips). That said, I've been seriously looking at the WIHA microfinish series. Sweeeeet! :pimpflash

Well, everywhere but GTA, Canada!:lol_hitti

Check out the 3M product line, not cheap but great stuff...

This is the best overall answer I have seen here. The HF 56 is a deep box, similar quality to the S/O and gives you a chance to live with both side by side. Sell the S/O later if you feel the HF works for ya and get another 56 or if the S/O fever gets the best of you, sell the HF and move onwards.

Looking for a box similar to the HF 56" which is also 24" deep for larger drawer space. These are obviously not available in Canada, but does anyone know of a comparable deep box in this general size? The only one I've seen is the International VRB-5610 but it only weighs 284 lbs vs the HF56 at...

Wish I had the room for this for only $100.... http://www.kijiji.ca/v-hand-tool/city-of-toronto/shear-break-roller-combination-metal-fabrication/1030752745?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Having moved too many times over the past 15 years, I can say that all of the above recommendations are spot on. Do NOT move/ship toolboxes with tools in them -what a mess! It will also take a lot longer than you think-so does a kitchen BTW.

I give my old "extras" to a friend of mine out East who doesn't have the spare cash to buy them himself. At least I know they are going to good home and will be well used and appreciated.

This man speaks the truth! Also my exact philosophy regarding German car affordability. I can't afford to take them to the dealer so working on them myself is both a financial necessity as well as a point of pride and self reliance. Good quality tools (and the right ones for the job) is...

Nothing wrong with good quality friction slides, been in use long before B/B. Welcome to the journal!

Good deal on Vidmar tall cabinet... http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tool-storage-bench/trenton-on/large-industrial-tool-cabinet/1026538813?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Sunex impacts sockets are excellent. I have been using a set for almost 20 years ( as a hobbyist)

Gray is the Canadian Snap-on:rocker:

Great deal on fastener storage. I bought an 8-stack with stand for $50. They have DOZENS of these units. Most in excellent shape...

Toronto GTA Snap On Toolbox Found this on Kijiji this morning. Might be one of those too good to be real things but you never know..... http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tool-storage-bench/markham-york-region/46-snapon-tool-box/1004541266?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Thanks for the bump , that was an awesome build. Would not otherwise have seen this thread.

VIM Torx sockets are very very good and are also sold by MAC as their lower price tier option.
