    52" Rolling Tool Cabinet Build for $500? I think I have an idea how!

    So, I have recently started working at a New Holland Dealer, and I will be dismantling agricultural equipment for parts. It is a part time job while in college, so I don't want to invest too much money in my tool setup right now (considering the fact I'm a business major). I have a 26" Craftsman...

    Side unit on a 26" roller cabinet?

    I was wondering what you all though about putting a side cabinet on a 26" roller cabinet. I'm worried that the side cabinet will make it heavy on the edge and likely to tip over. Have any of you done this and what were your results. Thanks

    Do you really need air tools?

    I always seem to get the feeling that everybody feels that in order to make your shop complete and be able to do any real work, you need to have an air compressor and air tools. For me, I cannot currently afford to invest in a compressor and quality air tools, so I spend any money I do have...

    Vintage Craftsman Sander Restoration

    Alright time to add another tool project. :thumbup: I have an old full metal Craftsman 1/3 sheet sander. The rubber pad that backs the sand paper was shredded from years of use and the plastic knob with a threaded base that should be sticking out the front to act as a handle is missing. However...

    Waste Oil Storage

    So, I will soon be out of my parents house and I will have a decent sized shop mostly at my disposal. I always change my own oil, and up until now I have always used my dad's 5 gallon fountain drink syrup jugs for storing it until we make a trip to auto value to dump it for recycling. I found...

    So, I bought a box and now to restore it...

    Today I bought a 1980's 6 drawer roller cabinet with a 10 drawer top cabinet for $100 and it even came with keys! The only problem is that it was fairly rusted. It was in a body shop and a lot of splatter hit it over time. The drawer bodies are spotless except for the fronts which are nasty. The...

    Where do you buy your SK tools?

    Well, now that I'm going to transition away from Craftsman I have been looking for places the sell SK hand tools. What surprised me was that Auto Value and Advance Auto both sell the full line of SK tools. Where does everybody else find them?

    Tool Box Color Scheme & Being Slightly **** Retentive :)

    Well, I have finally decided that I am going to buy a new 26" roller cabinet so that I can get one of my Craftsman tool chests and middle chests off the workbench. I am not all that impressed by the current Craftsman boxes, however they are good overall and the black/ red color matches...

    WAIT!!! There may be hope for Craftsman Tools!

    If you are like me, you are very disappointed with Craftsman switching to overseas manufacturers. Craftsman has a facebook page, and they have been getting roasted for their decision to go foreign, and people comment non stop condemning the situation. Many of the comments are angry or rude, but...
