    Will this drive me nuts??

    So a pirate walks into a bar, and he's got a steering wheel attached to the front of his pants. The bartender looks at him and says "Hey, why in the hell do you have a steering wheel on your crotch?" The pirate looks back at him and says "Gaaaaaarrrr...it's drivin' me nuts!" Sorry...saw the...

    Change drawers in C-man small rolling toolbox?

    wow...i can't believe i never thought of that. I've been looking for something decent to put my 10" mitre saw on. I currently have a non-mobile Craftsman benchtop power tool base, which works, but is a b*tch to move around, so I've been looking for a decent mobile base (other than just...

    Change drawers in C-man small rolling toolbox?

    I don't know of a way to do that, unfortunately...if the deep drawers had double slides, you could probably swap two shallow drawers for each deep one. However, I don't think I've ever seen a Craftsman box with double slides. Other than that, you'd probably have to get additional drawer slides...

    Drawer sliders - What kind of lube?

    I used Dupont White Lithium spray on my 41" HF box and side cabinet, and it worked great...a little too great, actually. I went a little overboard on the slides for the side cabinet, and now they tend to open on their own - once I got to the slides on the main box, though, I cut back on the...

    How Do You Organize All Your Aerosol Cans??

    Here I go reviving an old thread again... I'm sure I'm not the only one that stole 78FJ40's idea, so I figured I'd show mine off. I built this one a couple months ago, just now got around to snapping a pic. One thing that I did a little differently was to make the bottom two shelves 2x deeper...

    Screwdriver organization??

    I recently figured out what I think is a pretty good solution for screwdriver organization, so I figured I'd revive an old thread. I too use the Craftsman screwdriver racks that gotmud mentioned previously...however, I found that for sometimes (especially with larger screwdrivers), it was a...

    Painting OSB

    :+1: for Kilz. It's a little bit more expensive that regular primer, but the stuff works.

    Harbor Freight boxes?

    Haven't heard of anyone using the bottom with a different brand 40"+ top box, but I've got the bottom box and side cabinet, with a 26" Craftsman ball bearing stainless chest on top - works great. Eventually, I think I'm going to put a piece of 7/16" thick wood on top of both the bottom chest...

    Craftsman Club flyer

    FYI - I tried doing that, and the system wouldn't accept the $5 coupon after my Craftsman Club card was swiped...but I've heard of other people having success with this, so YMMV. Regardless, I still picked up the remaining pliers to fill my set. Even at $3.99 ea, they're well worth it (even if...

    If you turn the radio up loud enough, you'll barely be able to hear that pesky air ratchet :rocker:

    Impact-rated philips bit sockets

    ^I forgot to include that part in my original response - this helps a great deal as well, as it takes some of the tension off the rotor screw. Those must either be some weak bits or some tough screws. I've stripped them out with a hand screwdriver before. And as far as the other side coming...

    New Snap on Screwdrivers for $5.00

    $5 eh? hmm...Wonder if they'll take the Sears coupon:headscrat::lol_hitti

    Impact-rated philips bit sockets

    I'm not sure if such a bit exists - probably somewhere. A little trick for rotor screws that I've found works about 90% of the time is this - spray some PB Blaster (or WD-40) on the screw, let it sit for a few minutes, and then take a junk screwdriver and set it in the head of the screw. Tap...

    e-Bay score!

    Hmm...didn't think of that, honestly. I'm pretty sure Bill (the guy who always seems to be working at Sears when I'm there) is sick of seeing me walk in with my $5 coupons - so I guess today was his day of reprieve (I've been in the last 4 days). After coupon, the sockets would have been $3.49...

    e-Bay score!

    So I've been holding off on buying a set of swivel sockets until I could find a set for a decent price (Craftsman club, used, etc). Lucked out on e-bay today and found a new Craftsman 7pc. 3/8 drive SAE set for $28.48 (shipped with insurance). Normally $55 from Sears. Now I just gotta find a...

    Sears $5 coupon

    Has anyone tried using this coupon in conjunction with the Craftsman Club prices that started today? I'm not sure if this would fall into the "not valid with any other offers" category, or if it would just be considered using the coupon on something that is already on sale (which is allowed)...
