Nothing too fancy here but I just got two jacks for free. I've used my HF aluminum race jack for over a decade but now I have a Jeep Wrangler and its not ideal. Just got handed two free floor jacks and they are beefy! 93lb for one, probably 75lb for the other! They would do better with my...

Picked up this kit of 26 screwdrivers with a desktop holder at AUTOZONE for $6.99 on clearance. (not sure what "full price" is. Sure, they are cheap screwdrivers (most likely) but if I want to pry on something or toss some in my "junkyard toolbag" then I've got my money's worth. Heck, a...

Anyone waiting to see what they try to dump this year? I'm not doing any purchases until after the holidays. Once Sears weighs in today and tomorrow and sees how much they made during the holidays I'm thinking we may see some good price drops. Maybe more $20 gearwrenches and 50% off sales?

Anyone else experience this now that they changed the system? It's supposed to help right? Now I've bought several tools and other misc items and never receiving any feedback after I leave + feedback. Seems like after the change all the sellers said "Eff it" and stopped giving it out, period...

I know they are an old school tool and probably don't fit in many places but with the head work I'm doing I thought it might be a cool tool to have. Certainly easier than putting lots of bolts in by hand. I've only seen them used watching those nascar pit crew engine build competitions on speed...

I've taken down my bracketed shelving and made up one cabinet/cupboard out of it. I planned on adding the 1x3 tot he face, then cut doors from 1/2 inch ply or pressboard. Well. After doing many measurments I decided on a different approach. The cabinets are large (40"tall x 95"long) and the...

It's tempting but I have to pass at this moment in time. Even though I just got regular gearwrenches I feel like getting the stubbys too. They are shiny. :thumbup:

I need a long breaker bar to release the crank bolt on my BMW 318is. I went to HF and all they had was a monster 25" 1/2 drive bar. A bit large but it could be useful. It was $15 but it looked pretty beefy. Not sure if they can mess that design up. Anyone use and or break one of these? I was...

Or would they be called "Faux-cabinets?" I have 7 foot long shelves on both sides of the garage where I store boxes and whatnot. I'd like to cover them up so that I don't have to look at all the clutter. Painted white, it will look really tidy in there. I think I saw some pics of this done...

I ran across these on ebay and was assuming they are junk but it seems like you at least get bb drawer slides and they might be a better deal than the c-man quiet glide or friction versions. Anyone know about these? Anyone see anything in the photos that might raise flags? Elite tool box ebay...

I will be starting to put my engine back together and would like to clean all the parts as I do it. Any thoughts on how to rig up a cheap temporary parts washer? I do not have a sink or plumbing in the garage. I was thinking of a bucket of simple green and a plastic or metal bristle brush but...

I just got an old metal box with a few tools and am wondering if it's worth it to refinish it, and what the best steps are to do that. It's a green steel box with a SK tools metal tag on the inside of the lid. It is 18x6x2.5 and is pretty heavy duty. I was thinking of taking a brass brush to...

I have the bottom box with the four drawers. Two med sizes ones and then two really large ones. Other than piling tons of **** in the large drawers I don't see a use for them. Is there a way to get thin drawers to convert it into a more useful box or should I just look for a different bottom box...

Any tips? I have metal socket rails, wrench racks and screwdriver racks from Sears. Now my toolbox is looking nicely organized except for the pliers drawer. With all the tools I'm picking up lately it's pretty crowded in there. I have them in a rather deep drawer soi'm thinking of a way to...

What good ways are there of organizing screwdrivers in toolboxes? I was just laying them out by flat and phillips but the drawer they are in will become a "pile" of screwdrivers once I get some more at sears. I got a screwdriver organizer tray at sears and it's just a little large for my...

So my dad's here for the holidays and while I'm telling him of the few items I've picked up he says he'll be "getting rid of" all his old tools he never uses, including wood tools. He's on the other side of the country but I'm convincing him it's worth it for him to pack all that stuff up so I...

I think this will be my next socket purchase. I want to fill out my sockets and was going to get a u-joint but also saw the 3/8 drive short u-joint sockets. Anyone think these are good to have around? I got some ball end extensions and liked the extra degree of movement they gave. So: U-joint...

So I have a tiny collection of tools and try to add to it when I can. I'm switching from cheapo tools to nicer tools as I use them more and appreciate the quality and accuracy more. (took me a while to realize it and several broken tools) So I understand it would be nice to have two sets of...

I moved across the country to be closer to family (for my new son) and I'm about 3 miles from my brother so we're setting up my garage for all the automotive activities, and his new large garage is becoming our gym. I've gotten some great ideas here for my DIY auto-garage. Any good ideas for...
