Does anyone sell a universal top to go on top of a lower tool box? Something like those craftsman boxes that had the blow molded top with compartments to use like a cart

I just picked up a tech 1000 and it came with this interesting top box/hutch I’ve never seen before. I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it. It’s probably 45 x 20 and seems to be about the same build quality as the roll cab Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been looking for a 55” ish tool box mostly on the used market and companies like extreme. The biggest obstacle has been time and trying to get together transportation. Anyways I recently found a kra 40” top and bottom I’m thinking about. It seems like it would have about the same space as a...

I saw a 57 x 24 macsimizer for sale and wanted to know more about it before I make arrangements. My only experience with them was a 67” I looked at and it was the most solid box I’ve put my hands on but it was probably from the 90’s. This one is much newer so I don’t want to assume it’s the same...

I saw a post with a guy wanting to trade his older (probably 90’s) mac 1080 for a service cart and have been looking to upgrade from my jsc770. It looks pretty rough which I don’t really mind as long as everything is functional. Mine is only 3 or 4 years old and in pretty good shape. I like the...

I currently have a matco jsc770 that I bought with the intention of rolling it around. It’s too big to get around the shop so it currently sits in my bay holding overflow and I use my old harbor freight 5 drawer for day to day tools. This setup is about maxed out and I’m looking at my options...

I’m in the market for a 55-72” ish tool box. These 2 seem good for the money but I’ve never seen an extreme in person. They aren’t the only 2 I’m looking at but seem like good choices. I have a roll cart I primarily use so this box would be for less used tools. I would really like a deeper...

I saw that northern tool has the 54.5 x 24" on sale for $719 but I haven't heard of the Pro II and am trying to figure out where it fits in their lineup. Is it part of the rs series? The pictures look very similar. a shop I worked at had a homak shop box that looked just like the hf gen 1 44"...

This isn't exactly garage related but hopefully someone has a solution. My in laws are having issues with basement flooding. Their yard is about an acre with the house about 1/3 of the way back. The rear fence is probably 5-10 feet above the patio with stairs down to the basement. Bad rain and...

The title pretty much says it all. I work for a company with a lot of fleet vehicles and a boneyard of retired parts cars. I replace broken connectors occasionally and would like to get a soldering kit. My dad had a small electronics company years ago so I have the basic knowledge but no idea...

I recently went from a corporation to a privately owned shop. It's great, but we aren't provided with as much fancy new equipment. We have an older Solus to use, but I'm debating on whether I should get a scanner with more functions than my pocket scanner. What I'm looking for is full scan and...

I got a “you ****” deal a few years back and threw some of the stuff I didn’t need in a drawer without really looking at it. Well, I grabbed that test light to check a fuse panel and it has 2 clamps on it. My other one only has a ground clamp. What is the other clamp for? Sent from my iPhone...

I’m looking at a 24” deep husky box, but I’ve had problems with their slides before and that one was the standard 18”, so I just wanted to find out about replacement before I make a decision. How do you determine what slides you need? I would assume depth of the drawer. I know some people will...

Like the title says I am in the market for a good little light for my shirt pocket. I have a ton of those free hf lights and was satisfied with the performance but didn’t like the shape so I got a streamlight stylus pro off the snap on truck. I really like the shape and how it stays put when you...

Anyone have experience with these? Any other brands to look at? I don't see needing many other yard tools but like that it's a pretty extensive line. I'm just getting tired of having to fix something every time I use my 20 year old 2 stroke. I'm a Milwaukee fan but I don't know about going with...

I was thinking about working on my chevy 350 on a stand in my wooden shed. It's in good shape and built pretty solid. The plywood floor is 5/8" and I really don't notice any flex. The engine isn't super heavy and I would imagine it would be ok since my 2 loaded up tools boxes are probably...

Hey all so the time has come to move on from turning wrenches for a living. I'm selling my mac box to another tech at work and moving all my tools home into the old 40" husky stack, 26" craftsman and hf 5 drawer for now. I love the mac box and wanted to keep it for when I get my shop built but...

So I just read through the safety thread & it got me thinking about how beat up my work boots are. I work in an auto shop so besides safety toes the main thing is spill resistance. I prefer shoes for the light weight but wouldn't count boots out. I tried going to redwing when I bought the last...

Does anyone have experience with the tekton 13001 socket set? I don't really need it but would like a cased 1/4 set to grab for quick repairs & this one seems to fit the bill. I've never had any tekton tools but from what I've read they seem decent. I think the main thing I'm wondering is how...

Hey all, I posted asking for advice probably about a year ago & got some great responses. Well, we've been in the house about a year and a half. The excitement has settled down & after uncovering issues while freshening we have come to the decision that this will be a starter house. Point is...
