    Wilton vise on CL for somebody in MN/WI

    I saw that yesterday after looking through the "vise" thread, but I also cant drive that far to get it. Nice Vise, would look great restored. I just sandblasted one for a customer at work, and he was going to restore it.

    My ratchet collection at work

    This the set? Found them for $40 for the set online. I don't have a tool guy that sells any stanley-proto, so where would I return in case I break one? They do look nice.

    Anyone used the gearless ratchet from HF?

    I was at HF and saw their gearless/ratchetless 3/8 and 1/4 "ratchets". They have them in "untestable" packages, so I passed on them. Then when I got home I really got to thinking about them and wanted them, so I ordered them on the website along with a bunch of other stuff. I have the Matco...

    CL funny

    CL funny

    I bought a lot of Snap-On tools when I was in school for auto body. The set I got was $1000, and retail was $3300. I am glad I did it because I used everything that I was sold, because my instructor "created" the set with our dealer. I think it is nice that they are helping out the new comers...

    well I guess I will stop buying from him like I have noticed everyone else in my shop has. He used to come around once a month, but since he found out I started full time now he has been coming weekly. I had a great relationship with my tech school truck guy and got most of my tools from him...
