    No love for Klein?

    I had the Klein bucket prior to this one and after 5 years it was starting to fall apart. I bugged the boss for a few months and they finally got me that Buckingham. Its only about 2 months old.

    No love for Klein?

    The previous bucket i used was just like the one pictured but made by Klein. The current one is Buckingham. Each one is the same and even here its expensive in my opinion. about $100-$120USD

    No love for Klein?

    I don't see much love for Klein tools. Just about every hand tool I use for work is Klein and all made in the US. These get used daily doing outside maintenance for a cable company. Thankfully they provide the tools. They are used and abused and see all sorts of weather and I have never had...

    Made in the USA ? For a non resident of the USA.

    Curious to know how many of the "only buy American" people drive foreign cars. I'm younger, only 31, and it hurts me to see the older people with their WWII hats on getting into a Japanese cars. I don't get it...

    The paint is very thick. I am thinking i am going to need some chemicals to remove it all. I went to town with my drill and wire wheel but it only made a difference in some spots.

    torin/mts socket holder

    I use the MTS for my 1/4" metrics. I absolutely love it. Simple to grab on the go and since i'm not very good at eyeing up a size, i can just grab the entire set. I may try one of these since the price is a lot cheaper for my next one.

    12v installers show off your tool setups

    I was part of the 12v world for 5 years until Circuit City closed its doors. Never thought I would miss it as much as I do. I work for a utility now and I've done tons of upgrades to my work truck, mostly b/c I miss that type of work so much. I will say, I can't even imagine putting a remote...
