    How do you carry your Knipex XS pliers?

    Hi, everyone. I have the XS Cobras and Pliers Wrench, but don't have the pouch. I was just wondering if there were any unique ways to carry those little guys without being loose in a pocket (which already is filled with loose junk). Thanks! Adding photo for visual appeal!

    Best creeper for the big and tall crowd? icon from hf?

    My garage is only semi smooth and I'm a little heavy so my $9 creeper is dying a quick death. I was going to pony up and get one of the bone creepers but they seem to be in a company limbo. There doesn't seem to be a consensus winner out there. Is the icon from hf the best option? anything else...

    Anyone see a blue 56” US general box in the wild yet?

    As the title says, has anyone see a blue 56” US general box in the wild yet? I am going to probably buy a couple of the bottom boxes for home but I like the blue color a lot. One of the local stores said no one in their district has them yet and they don’t know when.

    One 72” or two 56” HF boxes

    I’m looking for opinions/reasons why one might be better than another that I might be overthinking. I’ve been out of room with my current box and I want something I can use as a bench. Currently I have 24,000 inches^3. I have stuff stacked on top of stuff in a few drawers. I think I might be...

    Which tools are you buying people for Christmas?

    This might be interesting/helpful for others. I got my dad the Astro pneumatic digital pressure gauge/inflator. I love those things and he has a bunch of cars/trucks/motorcycles/lawn equipment and I think it will make maintenance a lot easier for him.

    Signet Tools 10 Piece Extra Long Combination Spanners

    First, let me say I do NOT need any more wrenches and I’m just asking out of curiosity... Is this brand a low end brand? Where would these have been made? And lastly, how long would these be? I saw a tool box tour where a guy had a set, but I can’t find anything about them.

    Trends you see when looking at tools on Craigslist!

    It probably happens everywhere but one thing I’ve noticed on my local CL lately is people listing their whole tool collection and box for about 5-10 times what it’s worth. It will be listed as “all snap-on, mac, and Craftsman” and it’s like 10 rusty craftsman sockets and the rest is some harbor...

    How deep of a toolbox is deep enough/too deep?

    I’m on a kick of looking at 72” boxes to replace my 40” top and bottom. I like that nearly all boxes come at least 22” deep now, but I wonder if that is enough. The price of those boxes is good though, 1100-1300 bucks is doable for the HF or Homak boxes. But... I got looking at Extreme boxes...

    DIY induction bolt heater?

    I was just wondering if anyone has made one of these with success? It seems like a few years ago on this site, buying induction bolt heaters were always a topic. Since I started coming back on GJ, I don’t think I’ve heard a peep about them. I see they’re still expensive as hell, IMO. I’d make...

    HF locking extensions. All junk?

    I got a set of these yesterday, and returned them today. The long one just had cosmetic issue where the machining was rough on the drive, which I didn’t care about but did notice. Next, one of the lengths detent ball basically was flush when locked. Two others wouldn’t lock hard on certain...

    Best 6-7 drawer tool cart for money.

    I’ll leave this kind of vague. I would like a cart, bigger is better, with a flip up top. Something like the JSC770 would be perfect, but that’s expensive, so I’m wondering about the mid-range ones like ATD, Homack, etc brands. It’s too bad harbor freight didn’t put more drawers on their 5...

    How much does you box weigh loaded?

    Just thinking of moving my box loaded. I’ve done it before but I was better equipped then trailer and truck wise. I was wondering what your boxes weigh loaded and what size the box is.

    Anywhere to get Posi-taps without spending a fortune?

    I want to get some more of these for some temporary stereo installation but they are more expensive than I remember from Amazon. Anywhere you guys found them that are more reasonable? Thanks.

    Tools you forgot/can’t remeber if you own.

    There’s a 1-1/16” flare socket on eBay right now that I almost bid on but I just remembered that I THINK that I have a snap-on one that I bought for the same job a couple of years ago. I can not remember for sure though and I’m not around my tools. I do seem to remember something about buying...

    What is the situation with Matco?

    I haven’t been on here in a while or heard much about Apex since a flood stopped their relocation or something. Now that things have changed drastically with Apex, how was Matco impacted? When I was still on here regularly, it was getting impossible to get rebuild kits and people were taking...

    Single most useful tool for regular joe?

    This is actually a thread to get ideas for groomsmen gifts. All of my groomsmen are fairly manly but only one or two actually work on cars enough to get them something like a Dual 80 ratchet, which was my first idea. My second idea was to get Victorinox Spirit X multitools but they seem...

    Milwaukee batteries

    Will the batteries from the tool kit 2691-22 work in the 2763-20 tool? I just got the kit and was thinking of getting the tool, then later getting the bigger battery for the tool.

    The "I must be the only guy on GJ without a ____" thread.

    After spending a lot of time on this site i'm sure everyone notices a lot of posts/pics of specific tools reoccurring in many toolboxes. In some cases I feel like I must be the only person on GJ that doesn't have a certain tool. I thought it could be fun to see if other people have some tools...
