    What's a fair price for this Proto box?

    What do you think this box is worth? If anyone knows anything about this box or how durable it is, I'd be interested in hearing their thoughts. Obviously condition is a major factor, but I'm just looking for an estimate given the one picture.

    Lowes Drill Bit Sale

    Just stopped at my local lowes and noticed they had two 29 Pc drill bit sets on sale. Skil split point for $20 Hitachi split point for $17 Both are gold oxide, and for what it's worth, COO is china. Can't speak on the quality of either of these but for 17-20 bucks I can't imagine they...

    Prybar set

    I need a good decent fairly priced set of prybars. I know the cMan professionals used to go on sale for a great price, anyone know how often this is and for what price? The regular craftsman are pretty cheap as well but I'd rather get the professionals if they'll be on sale shortly. Also, I...

    Drilling Through Stainless

    What advice can you all offer up when drilling through stainless? I have always been told to go slow, apply decent pressure, and to use some sort of lubrication. I've always had a rough time with it but usually attributed it to my drill bits. I recently bought a new set of turbo maxs off the...

    Craftsman screwdriver handle diameter

    Obscure question here but, could someone measure the diameter at the smallest point on a hard craftsman screwdriver handle (preferably a stubby). Background info: I'm looking to bore out the center of a handle to make a brush out of and need the handle to be at least 28mm in diameter for it to...

    A/C Pro

    I'm sure I'll be heckeled by all of the ACTUAL professionals that work on A/C systems, but for $35 at walmart I gave it a try. http://www.walmart.com/ip/A-C-Pro-R-134a-Professional-Formula-Refrigerant/19864136 I found it really simple to use, and so far so good. Not sure If my GF's car has/had...

    Recommend me a hex/torx socket set

    Title pretty much says it all. Need metric sizes, preferably a USA made set. A co-worker has this Silver Eagle set off the Matco truck that is nice, but I honestly don't know what all is out there. http://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/SBS46SE/46-PC-SILVER-EAGLE-SOCKET-BIT-DRIVER-SET/

    My girlfriend is complaining that her A/C is not as cold as it used to be. I figure it just needs a refill of freon. Can someone recommend me a good kit to do this?

    Lowes 64oz Hammer

    Just saw this at my local Lowes for 7.99. Unfortunately it's the bigger longer hammer, I wanted the smaller more compact one. Anyhow, it is probably a good deal for anyone who needs one...

    Things you keep in your Misc tool-box drawer

    Admit it, we all have one. So what kinds of stuff do you all (ya'll for you southerners) keep in your miscellaneous tool drawer. Feel free to just snap a picture if it means saving you a lot of typing. I hope that this will get interesting and see who can have the most unorganized drawer. I...

    Special Pliers for Hose Clamps?

    Often have to go through great lengths, and a lot of cursing, to get these hose clamps off. When the clamp is easily accessible, its not so bad, a linesman plier usually does the trick, but sometimes its up underneath every piece of sharp and hot metal imaginable. Was wondering if anyone has a...

    Poor mans Snap on Adjustable

    At work the other day and used a co-workers adjustable. The SO part number is FADH6A. I understand it might seem silly to worry about spending $50 for a snap on adjustable but please understand I am still in college, only recently starting working as a mechanic (during the summer months), and do...
