    What I picked up this morning

    Ran across a lady needing gas money to get home wanting to sell some tools. Being the nice guy I am...I took a quick look at what she had. This was all stuck down in an old bucket....long story short....I got it all for $22.00. I don't think I got hurt.

    Vintage Craftsman box in local pawn shop

    Ok..it may be an old box.....but it is QUALITY and excellent condition for it's age. Those friction slides will work smooth as butter with proper lubing. I worked out of one for 15 years and it was overloaded and never gave a problem. Good score...:thumbup:

    How big of a box is too big?

    It all depends on how big the shop space is.....like an old 2 bay service station it would be a tad big.

    Questions for the Cornwell guy

    Stay away from Mac...the dealers around here are dropping like flies. Cornwell is a good choice IMO..damn good tools and not a pricey as the others. I have no clue how much $$ these guys want for startup.. I'm not a tool dealer just an old retired mechanic that's been on a shitload of tool...
