    Suggestions for a portable tool box

    That is a hard price to beat. I was going to suggest a used KR59, IT is about 2.5-3 times the size though. The only downside is if you are a smaller guy you might not be able to move it yourself. I work mobile and know this box is the best compromise in terms of space and being able to move...

    Was browsing ebay and found this pic. Ten year old boy humor kicked in and now I'm here. The older side of me now wonders how well this works in grabbbing peoples attention.

    Huh... is this tool box... rare?

    First stupid question I want to ask him if the box has grease galleries that take grease from the wheels and move it to the slides, becuase that is something I would expect if that box costs 8500.

    Side cutters

    If she likes comfort style handles I would go knipex. I have just started breaking in a pair of c-locks and have no complaints. I like the knipex design a bit more because the cutting edges are a bit longer. I would stay away from MAC though, they dulled quickly.

    Weighing options on a SO box

    Honestly You will still be a taking somewhat of a loss if you sell it because I think you would end up selling it between 2500-3000, based on how the doubles are selling around me. If I were you I would try and find some one with a KRL single stack and do a trade plus cash deal with them if you...

    New Ford Tech tool checklist

    Thanks for relieving my anxiety about the PS bleeding. I know I didn't install the best PS parts where I worked, but I glad they didn't come back because I didn't bleed the PS right.

    Tool box ID?

    Wanna say Kennedy, but don't know enough about kennedy boxes to say for sure. At 50 bucks why not just evaluate it on its build quality. assuming it is with reasonable driving distance for a look.

    New Ford Tech tool checklist

    I would recommend starting work and seeing what your coworkers are using. This is what I do and I rarely have buyers remorse. The set you linked to had several things you won't need as an entry level tech IMO. Just take the line wrenches I would rather have metric if I had to pick one. Test...
