http://www.unclesamsretailoutlet.com/Tools-s/353.htm Ordered an SK and the 15/16" Proto socket (because, why not) for $4.49 shipped. Order is processing.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought this (with grinder) for $20 at a yard sale. The interior had these homemade drawers. I'm going to use the cabinet as a grinder/drill press station, but the drawers are seriously tired, so I pulled them out to discard them. This is what I found on the side...

Durnit, that's supposed to say TOOL box blasted fat finger. Background. Nephew just turned 16 and got a car. Asked my sister what he wanted for Christmas, and she said he's wanting to work on his car some, and tools would be great. His dad is a great brother-in-law but not a handyman, and...

There's a couple of project threads going around, and I thought it'd be a good time for a show off, or let's see your thread. Quality metal office furniture is usually extremely expensive when new, and built to withstand the weight of lots of paper, which, because it can be packed so tightly is...

Woot has a bunch of their tools on sale. I'm going to ASSUME that they are HF quality (or worse) based solely on the cheap prices, but have no experience (outside of an old Wen All Saw I have which is actually pretty cool). Anybody have input on them?

My Hitachi died today, as it apparently doesn't like drilling through metal studs. It supposedly has a lifetime warranty through Hitachi, as included with the warranty info in the box and backed up on their website. The problem is, they don't say how to warranty it. There's no "click to...

ignore. Wrong section.

3" Waxman caster from Lowes. Linky Waxman's site has less info than Lowes. I purchased 4 of these for a toolbox project I'm working on (actually, 5, anybody have a bolt stretcher?). It uses a 5/16 nut. A standard 5/16 from Lowes 'fits' but requires serious torque just to move the nut...

well.... it's going to be a tool box/project center. Picked this up a month or so ago. Metal office furniture that I am turning into a tool box and project center. Office beige isn't gonna cut it, so paint is the plan. Got started, and it looked ok. Got to my last 2 big pieces this...

Local store has one of &flt_sp=[0%20TO%20190000]&flt_shipping_width=[0%20TO%20100]&flt_shipping_height=[0%20TO%20100]&pn=1&ps=24&pid=28910&cid=8277&mode=buyUsedOnly&itemSelectionType=all"]these on clearance for stupid cheap. ($62). I'm a hobbyist, not a pro.

Local Lowes has a 65' roll of 2-2-2-4 MHF for 25% off. I'm looking to run power to my detached shed. It's 22' from box to corner of carport, and 32' from corner of carport to shed. (slightly > 90 degree turn). 4' to the existing box connections, + 18-24" for burial. The only variable...

As it does everyday about this time, the lunch hour approached. Having inspected every thrift store and antique mall within lunch hour driving distance in the past week, I decided a different tactic would be employed today. I hadn't been to the local Sears/Craftsman parts and repair place...

Usually during lunch, I hit a couple of local flea market/antique places to look for tools. Two things I'm always on the lookout for are a bench grinder and a vise. Today, I found these (have not purchased yet). Delta Homecraft 6" grinder. As you can see, it's a belt driven model. It...

I'd been looking for a decent toolbox, but I am also in a very budget conscious period, so I'd been scouring Craigslist. Found this earlier this week for $100. It's Allsteel, and looks to be a modular unit of sorts. It is of a medium gauge steel. Certain parts are extremely heavy duty...

Listed as a toolbox on Craigslist. Owner says it's metal and 'heavy duty', and ~5 feet tall. It's a good price, and I'm interested, but it's also about an 80 mile drive to get, so I can't just pop over for a look see. Anybody familiar? Looks like it may be a medical cabinet, maybe?

Hello and greetings from the Heart of Dixie. Kids are getting old enough that I'm able to spend some more time out in the shop. Cleaned it out, and came here looking for ideas. I'm an old car audio guy (it's in the name), but, as I tell my daughter, these days I'm mostly a tinkerer, and...
