I haven’t posted mine in a while. Here is the box and a few drawers, I just made an updated toolbox tour video showing the rest.

Snap-on haul. I have been interested in Multi-position prybars, so I went all-in 😂

Another old Stanley Leverlock tape for my collection; this is the only 27’ version I have seen so I couldn’t pass it up! New old stock from eBay. If anyone has a red 25’ or orange 30’ (I’m not sure these configurations exist) I’m ready to buy!

From what I have read, mostly coming from the Martinez website and social media, is that Mark Martinez developed the Stiletto hammers and company, sold it to Milwaukee, then started Martinez Tool Company with a new design. Martinez Tool Company sold to Hultafors at some point but he may still be...

I treated myself with two Martinez titanium claw hammers. One M1 15oz milled face and one M4 12oz smooth face in all black. They are quite nice!

Matco ratchet haul, all 100% US made

The printed catalog page KnurledNut provided is perfect for finding the part numbers. Since it’s hard to determine actual size from a catalog page, especially across brands, here is a photo of my screwdriver and pick drawer. I have the 6” long non-mini SGLASA604BR set, which is nestled among...

Thrift shop deep fryer for dying small plastic parts. Between my cookie sheets for oil drips, cake pans for brake part rebuilds, Pyrex for clean hydraulic fluid and repairs, toaster oven for warming shrink fit parts, and scale for mixing paint, I almost have a complete (toxic) kitchen in the...

I outfitted one of my socket drawers with Toolgrid to try it out. I am happy with their solution for sockets in this toolbox, and the density I achieved, but only because I have lots of partial sets and singles. This is also a fairly small drawer which limited the grid cost. I find their plier...

Bump- still looking. I would prefer orange

Cornwell haul and some new Snap-on items: 100 tooth ratchet and combination flush cut pliers. Edit: it is not clear exactly where the Cornwell 120-tooth ratchet is made. It is not stamped or marked USA, the flyer didn’t say USA, but the chrome versions in the catalog say USA. Also the...

Facom goods from @ultgar!

Harry Epstein, Wright Tool, and Box Art! A great combo.

I don’t have their triple squares, but I own a lot of Metalnerd and they make great stuff! Regarding triple squares, I have them all and prefer Snap-on, Hazet, VIM, then Genius - in that order. Cornwell, Blue Point, and non-RBRT Mac are rebranded so they’re also good but expensive unless you...

Mac posted these images to their Instagram story when the “new” SFND wrenches were released back in 2022, here are screenshots but they are all still visible in the “tool talk” highlighted story @mactools38 Older flare nut wrenches may have been made in USA, but none of their current wrenches...

I have metric in the right and SAE on the left. I still use SAE but I use metric a LOT more often and really should switch to metric on the left. I usually grab ratchets or impact guns with my right hand and load a socket with my left, then grab a wrench in my left hand while using a ratchet or...

Fein 1.6mm (16ga steel) shear from Marketplace and DeWalt pneumatic narrow crown stapler for a shed project. I planned to use this project as an excuse to finally buy a Kett shear for the metal roofing, which I did order, but shipping delays are pushing it to the point where the whole project...

I bought them a little while ago but this was my first use of the Lisle 38350 exhaust hanger plies. I never imagined they would work so well, it felt like cheating! I recommend these 1000% I also picked up a BFH from the local landscape supply house. It’s a Trusty Cook rebrand, made in USA 💪

The moment arm length, the distance perpendicular do your forces (vehicle pushing down on the arms, plates bearing down on the concrete, loads pulling on the anchors), remains unchanged. This is neglecting deflection of the column, but that’s on the order of 1/16” and the arms can be 48” or more.

Lifting vehicles higher will not result in greater forces on the anchors or concrete.
