I've been stressing over losing my little Wiha bit-kit for like 3 months, and have substituted lesser tools to get some things done in the meantime, hoping it would turn up one day. I found it today! What's this feeling called? Relief? Peace? Happiness? Gratitude? Whatever it is, that's...

I got an email saying 69% off April Fools day.

Nice work. Here's the one I made, the box-ends are like form-fitted and hold securely, nothign rattles around or anything, and stuff like that.

Let me google that for you (if you want a job done right . . . do it yourself)

Yes, and you did a great job with those two words. Thank you for caring about grammar.

I feel like I think I've seen some like that before, but I can't remember and googling, "wrench force wrenches" didn't come up with anythign like that. What are these called? Wrenches that have screwdriver handles on one end? Ratcheting, reversible box-ends would make me want to buy some...

Are those vinyl handles that difficult to change out? Even having them custom made would likely be less expensive than new sets of the tools, but I've never looked into it.

I don't think there are. I jhave Viper, which is beefier than Craftsman, but not truck equivalent. S•K is coming out with some really expensive boxes. You might want to check out this thread that compares cheaper options: http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153445

My modest collection has served me well. I like the knurls.

Congratulations to creativecars! Thanks again to APT for the 2nd chance opportunity!

These Grey Pneumatics are very nice: I'd also get a set of cheap Roto-Ratchets from Harbor Freight or something and swap the handles to something more comfortable. (that picture taken from his thread here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/custom-ratchets) So worth it, but I prefer the...

thanks for keeping this thread alive - never would have seen this masterful work otherwise. Great drawers, man! I'm jealous, but don't think I could ever devote that much effort into a project like this. I just use various organizational trays and holders, and it's worked out great, but I'm...

I'd get the S•K, just because that Steelman looks to be made from much smaller stock. It looks like a 3/8 extension with the larger female 1/2 end. One of its "features" says, "Narrow diameter shaft allows access . . ." Here's a quote from one of the reviews about the Steelman: "The only...

This. I have the S•K version, which is similar (or exactly the same?) as the Mac version. Mine's black-oxide, or whatever, but it's developed a lot of surface rust sitting in my climate/humidity-controlled box, where no other tools have rusted at all. Weird. That 1/2" girth throughout its...

Did anyone win yet?

Not exaactly sure what you're asking, but I have Viper 41" top and bottom. It's a good middle-of-the-road kit for me.

Can those lock cylinders and keys be retrofitted to a Snap-off box?

I'd get the HF one too, then paint it green and put a SNAP-OFF sticker on it.

Dude, build it out of titanium! Build secret compartments into it. Build speakers and a fridge into it as well. Build each drawer customized to hold your tools perfectly, kind of like fastcap kaizen foam, except with titanium dividers! Put a bunch of LED lighting all in it and on it and...

I've had my set for 18+ years and have never warrantee'd a single one. None have twisted, though there is some slight rusting on some tips and the #2 philips drivers could probably use new blades - the tips are sort of chewed up, but they still work well. I will say that my Wiha MicroFinish...
