    Wrapping or Painting My New EPIQ Workcenter?

    So a buddy of mine across the shop is leaving the trade. A few months ago he ordered a workcenter for his 84" EPIQ which has now arrived and not going to be used (he already provisionally sold his toolbox). The workcenter is on a pallet, brand new and wrapped. It's a completely different color...

    Air tools pass air - no action. Fault or design?

    Had a couple that started doing this recently. Sent one back to Snap On (it’s a 90 degree grinder Blue Point version). Came back - no change. Basically squeeze the trigger and it won’t engage the motor, just hiss. Helping it by spinning the shaft sometimes works. Another tool - belt sander -...

    Tools you bought but don’t use?

    I’ve got a few. They take space, I use them maybe once in a blue moon. At a push. Effectively forcing myself to use them for the sake of it. I don’t *need* them. What to do? Sell up? Doesn’t make sense. Still I never reach for them. Ratchets, ratcheting wrenches, some screwdriver sets. They are...

    Two side lockers by one side?

    Anyone have their lockers at one side of the toolbox? Just seems logical to me. Currently I have two lockers at each side of the box but would like to see some pictures of your setup please.

    Monster Vise Stand

    I think I found myself a monster vise. Expecting it be in range of 200 lbs. It's a good 3-4 weeks and 500 miles away but I thought I'd start gathering some input on where and how to mount it. I'm not putting it on a rail outside as I want to use it indoors. It won't be a display piece either but...

    Shallow Drawers - what do you store in them?

    I've been reorganizing lately and now have a couple of shallow drawers in my KRL box that are completely empty. Personally I find them useless for storing tools as you have to lay all your tools flat and in single rows otherwise you risk catching the drawer above. So either waste your space with...

    Low Amp Probe for Verus D10

    I'm after a low amp current clamp for my Verus. Has anyone tried Fluke 80i-110s with it? I can get one for about the same money as the SO's very own EETA308D. Any input on these two or any other probes you guys use with your scope? I have an injector diag job next week so was thinking of buying...

    Mac Tools "Hammerhead" Impact Wrench

    Anyone know if Mac Tools 90 Degrees Impact Wrench is made by IR or is it their own? Got one on the way and it was way cheaper than the new IR Hammerhead so looking forward to trying it but are they as good as the IR, better or worse? Thanks :beer:

    What would you do different if you had to start again?

    inspired by the 'Money wasted on tools' thread. Imagine a situation where you sell all your tools for whatever you spent on them, no more no less. What would you do with the money? Would you buy exactly the same stuff you had? For simplicity, let's assume there's no tool that you cannot...

    One Big Snap On or A Few Smaller Rollcabs?

    Has anyone on here had this dilemma: One x KRL1033 with matching top box or 3 x KRL1056 with matching top box ??? I think 1033 will come cheaper and full length drawers are to die for but I may be forced to give up my current place and move in a few month to a smaller shop so thought moving...

    KRL1022 with KRA2454 Hutch?

    Guys, Anyone on here got a KRA hutch with their KRL box? I have a KRL1022 and been offered a KRA2454 54" Hutch. I've checked SO website and dimensions are very similar - apart from the depth of course - but don't know if it's worth getting it or waiting for a matching hutch? Thoughts please...
