    Question on battery configurations for Milwaukee M12 Fuel 1/2" drill.

    Just received my new Milwaukee M12 Fuel 1/2" drill and I'm quite pleased with it. Question: Why the 2 different sized batteries that come with it? Why didn't Milwaukee just include another XC4.0 instead of the smaller 2.0? Am I missing something or are they just trying to save money?

    What's a fair price for this mid box, cleaned up?

    I've had this laying around forever. Thought about giving it a light restoration. Basically, blast and paint. It doesn't have a lock but the drawers slide great. What do you think I could get for it, cleaned up?

    Cordless tool platform?

    I need to delve into the cordless world. The only cordless tool I have is a DeWalt 14.4 drill. Great tool but I've been through 2 sets of batteries over the years and they're dead again. Instead of spending $$ on new or rebuilt batts I'm thinking maybe it's time to upgrade to a quality...

    A couple of decent CL ads in SF Bay Area, CA.

    Don't need 'em, don't have the room and don't have the money! But, maybe somebody else does. They just caught my eye as I was doing my morning craigslist ritual. I think the prices are OK......you be the judge. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/tls/4559622261.html...

    Looking to get a Matco MT2836 air ratchet. Opinions please.

    Need opinions on a Matco MT2836 3/8" air ratchet. Apparently, they retail in the high $200's. I can get this one for $100 and that's good 'cause I don't want to spend any more than that on an air ratchet. It's been used twice. It's virtually brand new. My $20 HF Chicago Pneumatic finally...

    I need to get a decent torque wrench and timing light. I want good quality but don't want to pay through the nose! Don't particularly wanna deal with tool trucks. Maybe something off Ebay, Amazon or online retailers. Any good recomendations?

    HF pressure sandblaster modification

    I finally got around to modding my HF 90lb pressure sandblaster. I got tired of blasting for 2 minutes then spending 30 minutes unclogging everything! I wound up replacing the feed assembly and modding the nozzle too. A few $$ in hardware store parts and a Saturday afternoon later and this...

    Bench vise - deal of the century on CL!

    How do these people determine their prices? Do they drop a tab of ecstasy before posting their ads? Simply amazing! I bought the same one at a garage sale for $2.....and I overpaid! http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/tls/3873390642.html

    What adhesive to use for drawer liners?

    I'm using conveyor belt material for drawer liners. It has a rough texture and the drawer bottoms are smooth. What would be best to use to glue it down? I was thinking Liquid Nails or some sort of construction adhesive. Anyone?

    What lube for toolbox drawer slides?

    What do you guys use? White lithium grease/general purpose grease/motor oil/WD-40? I've got standard friction slides. I do alot of grinding and metalwork so there's chips and **** flying everywhere. Another question: What about drawer liners? This box is gonna basically hold...

    Anyone have any info on this box?

    Been sitting outside for a couple of years. It's an older unit and fairly heavy duty. Double friction slides on the larger drawers and a pull down door. Even has an electrical outlet plumbed into it. It's a little larger than most too at 34" W x 20" D x 33" H. A bonus is it's Made in USA...

    Opinions on this cordless sawzall.

    Anybody have one of these? Will it last more than a week? I need one for hacking through exhaust pipes, suspension bracketry, etc at the local junkyards. It would be used sparingly. With battery and charger I'm looking at $50 total. It'd be nice to have a cordless Makita or Milwaukee but I...

    I would luv to have this 6-car garage/house!

    The wife and I went for a ride today and noticed this home was having an open house.......so we stopped in. A little out of my price range but this is the stuff I dream of! Nestled out in the country on a full acre, yet 15 minutes from Hwy 101. Oh, what I could do with that shop! Here's a...

    Opininions on HF floorjack as a gift.

    I'm looking to buy my stepson a floorjack. He doesn't have many tools and he just bought an Econoline pickup. 302, Cragars.....somewhat of a hot rod. He needs basic toolage. His wife bought him a mini floorjack/jackstands combo. Utterly useless! My budget is about $80. With a 20% off...

    Recommendations on a cordless sawzall.

    I'm a frequent flier when it comes to junkyard scrounging and I can't count how many times a cordless sawzall would've saved the day. Today was an absolute necessity and I didn't have one! Now I gotta go back tomorrow with more tools! DeWalt is good, Milwaukee is probably better but I'd like...
