    What kind of tools have you found in the road??

    A 20# R454B refrigerant bottle still weighing 15# was in the ditch around the corner from my house. I have a mini split which calls for R410. Anyone know about this(R454B) as a replacement?

    What are you doing with you "Hot Deals" Durham Instrument Cart?

    $79 for that cart??? "Currently unavailable" Me thinks a few here were able to exploit an error, so Senor Bezos took it in the pants on this one. For that, Bravo...

    The Tragedy Of The Brake Spring Pliers COO

    Agreed. I've dealt with Lisle and found them to be honorable. If NOT a mistake I'd be very surprised.

    Humongous Snap-On Sockets - Yours For $25K!!

    I'm pretty sure I've bought from this seller. He denies being a Snap-On dealer and uses several names at Ebay but I believe him to be just that. If $25k seems absurd consider the seller's claim of a $65k list price, or $1275/socket. $1275 for a single socket? Blow me

    Thinking about retiring my USA Craftsman tools

    You are wrong on all counts but the last, which is something less than a profound statement. @OP Use what you have. If something breaks or wears out you can still choose to keep it for posterity. Plenty of well done jobs have been performed by those "trash" Craftsman tools:rolleyes:

    Matco triple bay. Bought it!

    Rather than breathing all that brake cleaner remove and soak/brush them in a parts washer or just a tub of solvent. That is a lot of slides to try and spray clean. Looks like a super deal from here. The nicest thing about a second hand pro box bought right is that If you decide you don't like...

    Portable tool box, small toolbox, mobile tool bags, cantilever toolbox for essential tools

    Just to note this link is indeed a Bull Tools roll up but NOT the waxed version which is the tough as nails version Hakeem has. Think of a new Filson duck coat and you get the idea. I'm unable to find them now, perhaps discontinued.

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Dragged this forlorn looking 1970's Williams stack home this afternoon. I'm a sucker for intermediate chests. It's filthy, the drawers are all sticky, no keys and missing the bottom compartment door. All there aside the door and undamaged so I believe it will clean up well. Mercifully it is not...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Having finally accumulated the huge pile pile of suspension parts required for a comprehensive refresh on an old BMW I moved other cars out of the shop, swept the floor and cleared a path to my strut spring compressor. Took another look at this giant pile of parts, opened a beer and thought...

    How would you paint something on a car subject to damage?

    Agonizing over something you plan on damaging? Someone else suggested the cheapest chassis black you can find, I'm in agreement.

    Buying a used Snap-On toolbox

    So here is how this works. Snap-On, some 40+ years ago gave ownership of this tool box to it's original purchaser. If there was some financing in place this was between that buyer and S.O. If they figured the box for collateral and failed to secure it that is then their problem if the loan...
