    Thoughts on Expensive House Paint?

    I will buy the good (expensive) paint. I happen to like SW Duration, on average we get 30-40% off just by buying when the sales/rebates run and since we are on their list we often get a coupon via e-mail 25-35% off. I hate painting as well, so I do a good prep, use good primers/caulk/fillers...

    The beauty of the KRSC line is, that it will work for you after school, not that an HF or Craftsman wouldn't. The Heavy build carts will hold up for years of service and the ability to be flexible in regards to moving around with tools in the real worlds makes a difference. It's not the size...

    Yes, I think that you are making this to hard on yourself. A box will only hold the tools as many others have said. If I would start all over again I would go with the KRSC 46 or similar. Snap-on Man will be back from convention, this is an easy box to get and it will hold everything you need...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Bid on flea-bay, was watching it for a while in the final hour still wasn't moving fast, set a bid max low and still won, the tool gods where smiling on me. I can't find much info on the KR 292, search on here and google didn't bring up much even collectingsnapon didn't have much if anything.

    With your discount the KRSC line should be had for under a grand, as long as you don't have the need for a constant work top they are great to work out of and should get you through school and first job . Check out the Thread on some of the mods that people have done to the KRSC

    How Much Have You Spent On The Snap-On Truck Thus Far?

    Roughly 3k on the Snappy truck this year, 3k last year as well. Matco truck got a couple of hundred. Snap-on truck is better stocked with better deals, promos and all around easier to deal with, Matco has been slow on custom orders, stale stock, not many promos. Cornwell got 50 bucks in the last...

    Flooring for temporary living quarters

    Well....it's boiling down to a piecemeal construction

    If you bother to translate my screen name you might guess what category I fall into. Problem is that 90% of immigrant framing, sheetrock, roofing and siding crews on the eastern seaboard are south of the border. Most are either with no papers or false papers. How do I know you might ask...

    well, I'm in, thanks again for these giveaways, I'm currently using snap-on's CT6850 and would love to do a comparison. I'm aware that it is not 100% apples to apples but would be nice to see how they will perform in daily use
