    Titan Screwdriver Set-Costco

    I think I am going to pick a set up when they arrive at my Costco. I need a new set of screwdrivers and was planning on buying the newest set from Tekton that is sold at Meijer's. But for 20 bucks I can't really complain too much.

    Titan Screwdriver Set-Costco

    I went to my local costco today and they didn't have them in Stock yet. The manager said that they would have them out in about a week. I wonder how the quality is for a diy auto repair. I'm guessing they aren't made in the USA.

    I'm done shopping at Harbor Freight

    This. And there isn't a need to seal the box back up if it is defective. Take it back, show them that it didn't work properly and there isn't a HF store that wouldn't exchange the tool. What reseal ing the box implies to me is that you needed it for one task and tried to seal the box up and...

    Opinions wanted about broken vintage Snap On tools

    I don't know any of the Snap On reps, I only work on my own cars. I broke a SO that I bought from a truck once, but I was with my brother who worked at a shop. I had the same idea to mount them on a piece of peg board and then hang it in my garage. I don't have a lot of room for it, but I...

    Question about restoration

    I build plastic models, and that's how I do it for small detail painting, adding patina, etc. The process is best with a lint free paper towel or a scrap of old t shirt. Whatever you use, make sure it's smooth, not like a microfiber rag. If all the paint doesn't come off, a little paint...

    Opinions wanted about broken vintage Snap On tools

    I inherited a paint can full of broken Snap on sockets, wrenches, extensions, and a wratchet. The tools originally belonged to my grandfather, his uncle and my uncle. I don't have any idea what I should do with the tools. I kinda think that the Snap on warranty isn't an option, at least for...

    Vehicle Oil Changes: Are you a DIY'er?

    I do the same thing, 90 minute oil changes to get away. There's a few good spots to put a smartphone on the underside of a Crown Vic that help me watch about an hour of HBO during oil changes in my garage.

    Big A Auto Parts tune up cabinet

    The cabinet is solid, the rust is just surface rust. I can tell you are from a state that doesn't get much rust, it isn't that bad for a cabinet that was stored on the floor in a garage.

    Metal Cabinets vintage or homemade and no name toolboxes. got any to show please do

    I inherited a wood and metal storage box from my dad. He never did anything with it when he inherited it from his uncle. It was filled with old files, random tools and nuts and bolts. It's homemade, but at least as old as the 1950's. It was kept in a storage shed for years and started to...

    Big A Auto Parts tune up cabinet

    I bought this cabinet on Ebay for what I think was a cheap price, 40.00 with local pickup. Based on what I've seen them sell for at swap meets. It's a Big A tune up parts cabinet. I'll mount it on the wall when it's a little warmer out.

    2015 Garage SaleThread

    I stopped at a moving sale this morning on the way home from work. I never had any luck finding decent tools at estate or garage sales, but today I found a decent lot of random USA wrenches, one huge Wright 12 point socket, 2 Usa metal rulers, a actual Vice Grip and a metal Craftsman tool box...

    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    It's not a name brand cart, but I don't work on anything but own cars. Just a basic HF black tool cart with a clearance sale Husky 2 drawer on the bottom. I think I've spent more on stickers than on the entire cart. It works well for what I need it for.

    New guy from SW Michigan

    I've been a long time lurker and I finally joined a few days ago. This site has been very useful helping me decide on tools to work on my car; a 2004 Mercury Marauder, my house, and pretty much anything else I get the itch to fiddle with. A quick, but hopefully interesting story about my...

    The Every Day Screwdriver

    Sorry to bump a older thread, but I have two key chain screwdrivers. My dads old Proto that he carried on his keys for as long as I've been alive. The other is a combo handcuff key with a small flathead on the side from Galls, a police equipment supplier. I was lucky enough to get my dads...
