In the process of planning for the flatbed on my truck(F450 with 9ft bed) for a farm service truck. My question is how weatherproof are the Montezuma boxes? This truck will be outside 24/7 and driven in crappy weather, and i'd rather not spend $700 on a box and another $1k in tools for it to get...

Looking at getting a nice set of power tools for personal use. On my service truck and in the shop i've got all M12 and M18 Fuel tools, but those were work tools so cost wasn't a factor. Dragging tools back and forth is getting old, and you can never really have too many so i might as well do...

Fiance and i are getting married in my grandparents bank barn this summer. It was built in the late 1800's/early 1900's(some discrepancies in the records), my grandparents have been raising cattle and putting hay in it since 1958 and we are hoping to take over and continue the family farm...

Haven't seen much talk about the Axis gear yet, and curious if anybody has some feedback. I picked up a jacket fall 2016 and love it, and of course the GF is jealous and wants her own. She has horses and my family farms/works outside so we're in the elements a lot and she hates being cold. From...

Currently looking for something to make my shop life a little less stressful. I'm in a family business and i'm in charge of all our maintenance along with some other trucks/equipment/trailers from landscapers we work with. In total i'm responsible for 7 trucks, 4 SUV's, 4 skid steers, 2...

Looking for some ideas to make it a less of a nuisance to be in the shop at night. The shop is roughly 50x70x16, with large doors on the north and east sides, on a working cattle/hay/grain farm. The shop is heated but no A/C so in the warm months the doors are always open. Problem is at night...

After using my dad's old IR air hammer and a neighbors HF die grinder i'm thinking its time to finally buy my own, and want to get some nice tools that are comfortable to use. Ideally composite bodies and good ergonomics. Our IR hammer is an all steel body, and obviously puts all the vibrations...

Since we're running 4 trucks and several pieces of equipment daily one of my biggest fears is a dead battery away from the shop. We carry jumper cables and i keep up on maintenance but **** happens, i've had an engine harness fail in a year old/300 hour $40k skid steer that killed the battery in...

Going to be moving my tools into a friends 50x70x16 farm shop starting next week, for now it'll just be my 56" HF box but i'm working on buying a 72" Homak to replace it. My goal is to build a self-contained work area since its not my shop and i don't want to take up more room than i have to...

At the moment i've got 2 trucks that need the A/C system put back together and cleaned/charged, as well as some other vehicles and equipment that need checked and re-charged before summer hits. Used to have a guy that did all our A/C work cheap and did great work, but he retired last year and...

I've had my HF box since black friday and been working out of it almost everyday since. Absolutely love it and its been holding up great, but the factory top liner is about done. Between carb cleaner, hydraulic fluid, gear oil, etc... it's raising up off the box and looks awful, plus i no longer...

Looking online for a used hot pressure washer and i found a couple older Alkota units fairly cheap, one being a 5152 in good shape. It's a 220v unit with a large diesel burner, sticker on it is from a local store that my dad doesn't think has been open for 20-30 years. I've tried searching...

Spending the rest of the winter in the shop turning wrenches, looking to spend a little time/money making it more comfortable to be in 40-50hr's a week. Specs on the garage is an older 15x30, 2 window's on each wall, and an overhead and man door on the north-facing wall. We've already replaced...

Just curious if anybody has messed around with upgrading the slides in these HF boxes. Bought mine on black friday, and been working out of it a bit since then. Definitely not a bad box for $650, but after spending some time in a Matco 6s yesterday and playing with some of the new boxes at...

Finally pissed off enough by working out of a tiny 39" Craftsman box i've had for 11 years(got it when i was 12) i decided to buy a new box. Checked out some Snap-on's at my neighbor who's a dealer but can't bring myself to spend that much on a box, or even $1600-2k for a used one. After going...
