    40s or 50s Kennedy Tool Box

    When I searched the Kennedy 220 box, I did see some with the different drawer colors, but I couldn't find any info on the dates of the boxes. Going to ask my dad if he remembers seeing the box in the garage ever or if it just magically appeared. Regardless of the outcome, my uncle is giving it...

    My dad has the harbor freight ones and while they look the same, they are definitely not. The socket holders on the harbor freight are super loose sockets slide all over when moving them vs the other models which are generally stiffer and the socket attachments are a bit more in place. Also, the...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Here is a toolbox my dad has had since the 70s. Still in decent condition. Its finally been retired from regular duty and will be used for a small parts cabinet. Even after some digging he was able to find the original key!

    40s or 50s Kennedy Tool Box

    If that's the case then I have some digging to do, as if its truly my grandfathers box, it would be impossible to be newer than mid 50's. Does anyone know if there are any manufacturing dates stamped on these boxes generally? If so, where would I look?

    40s or 50s Kennedy Tool Box

    That's a great idea. I will certainly do that. Luckily we have a few things he brought home during WW2 and he became a Machinist after serving.

    40s or 50s Kennedy Tool Box

    He passed in 1957 so we were just guessing the age. Maybe it's from the 50s then!

    40s or 50s Kennedy Tool Box

    Hi All! So I just came across a Vintage Kennedy Tool Chest/box combo and I would like to know if anyone has any information about it! Guessing it's from the 40s, maybe early 50s. Optional Back Story: My dads father passed when he was 5 (his dad's only child but had half sisters from his mom)...

    New Lithium Ion jump pack at Harbor Freight.

    Certainly! I generally would choose what gets the job done. I mean for $500 + warranty I would get that generator without a doubt. They don't lie about any of their claims from what I've seen. But I'm sure they withhold information as do most comparisons.

    New Lithium Ion jump pack at Harbor Freight.

    They are certainly going after the competition by directly calling them out. The comparisons are pretty funny sometimes.

    Craftsman made in USA

    I went to purchase them at that price and I apparently had $9 of "Surprise Points" so I would say I got a pretty solid deal at $10 after tax for a set of these pry bars! I'm just curious why someone thinks they are awful . . . to me you would have to use them on a job that's meant for something...

    Gearwrench Non-ratcheting Wrenches

    Picked them up last night along with some other stuff I had gotten him. Most of it is either brand new or like new. I have a few other sizes of wrenches that he's getting for me. I guess his snap on guy gives him pretty good deals.

    Cannon Gun Safes From Costco

    How much are the items inside it worth? Do you care to lose them? I love it when people spend $500 on something to protect thousands of dollars of firearms or irreplaceable items. While no safe is tamper proof, but the costco safe is a tin can and can be pried open. I have a custom 4ga safe...

    Gearwrench Non-ratcheting Wrenches

    I didn't see it coming either but after thinking about it for a while, and talking to some other friends as well. I figured it's easier to warranty as well as easiest to find matching used filler wrenches to get a more complete set.
