just get the snappy

You could use a cheapo HF tool cart and leave the bottom shelf for the tools you need while “crawling” around on the floor…

Lol. I am glad I can inspire such a debate! I will state in in this thread as well. I have many years of accumulated tools, I had three or four husky and craftsman boxes that were just awful. So last year I decided to purchase a used snap on box. It was only a few hundred dollars more then...

what website is that you are using to track pricing?

no sorry, never had a Volkswagen. i am on many other forums but never had a GTI. i did have a Very fast e36 m3 that ran 11's. as far as the ratchets, i will but it may take a little time as i do not wrench all that often. i have a few projects coming up but nothing all that soon.

looking to get a toolbox for my full size pickup. i do not need to lock up thousands of dollars worth of tools nor am i a contractor. but i do like to have a few things with me all the time and the back seat is a terrible option for me so far and a tote in the back has not proved to work well...

i have lots of tools that i have accumulated over the years. I had 3 or 4 different tool boxes around the garage that all sucked. So i bought a used snappy box last year to consolidate everything into one box and have something that worked well.

I appreciate the advice. I own nothing snapon other than the toolbox itself so it would be easy to spot his motorcycle is in my garage too

Go to closest car dealer and find a mechanic walking around outside and just ask which tool truck comes by and when. They usually follow a route so they show up pretty predictably. And the guy may not extend credit to you but you damn sure should sell you a box. He may also have traded units or...

Mostly newer. He only quit his mechanic job 3-4 years ago.

I picked up a Snap On krl7022 (54x29) for $2k last year and it was the best tool box decision i’ve made. i could have gotten the USG (72 x22) for $1400 ish with tax. But for me the quality and drawer layout of the snapon was worth the extra $. But i didn’t realize the delivery was that important...

Cancel and buy a used pro (truck brand) box. There are plea ty of the “good” boxes out there. And you don’t need to research just find what you are looking for. You said blue with a hutch? where are you located?

A buddy of mine used to be a mechanic and recently he had to move into an apartment so I am babysitting his snap on KRL 7022 fully loaded with all snap on tools. He did leave me the key and said I am welcome to use anything I want. I do plan on trying some of the ratchets to see if they’re...

my problem is the cost! i have 663 sq ft to cover. if i look at race deck at $8-$9 sq ft. that is $5,300 to $6k. the husky ones are $2700 ish and gladiator ones are gonna be $3500. we are talking about rubber pads on the floor. no F&^%ing way am i going to spend that kind of money on garage...

If 5/16 is the thickest you think you will be welding then a 110v 140 machine is what you need. Forget a 240v welder.

Unless you plan on doing chassis work or welding roll cages a 110 welder is plenty of power for the home user. A small welder any 125 machine can do 3/16. A 140 machine can do 5/16 thick material. for simple tasks around the house including fixing lawnmowers and welding thin metals like...

You could run a generator.

The physical depth of the drawer is 26.5 inches. No one makes a drawer liner that wide!!! But i like the painters tape idea. I am going to try that

From day one I never liked the drawer liners in my snap on box. It drives me insane that they move around and slide when I am not even a heavy use mechanic. I am a weekend warrior and I take the time to close the drawers softly and some how all my tool end up sliding towards the back of the...

I realized today that I spend a lot of time cleaning up and being very careful with lots of cardboard when i am working on things. So I googled workbench with drain and it turns out they are called tear down tables. The only problem is that I’m finding is that most of them are over $1000. I...
