    Good Cheap Drill Index Box

    I recently purchased a complete set of new drill bits, all three sizes, from a machinist going out of business for cheap. About 120 total, nice bits. Way too many for my standard 'drill holes in a block of wood' trick. I also am thinking paying $50 for huot is a lot of money for a box I will...

Claw hammer, tack hammer, one of the craftsman softsided socket and wrench sets, nails, glue, knife, adjustable wrench, c-man light up nut runner, pipe wrench....all that stuff.

    Maglight flashlight conversion to LED?

    Years ago I was an MP in the army, and we could carry maglights but had to buy them ourselves. I have four d-cells, three 3s and one 4, that are around the house.

    Sam Club Box

    Half of me wants to laugh and start drinking...the other half is wondering if I can swing the $400. http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=468499

    Newbie here--with a craftsman wrench question

    Howdy. I am mostly a woodworker, but I also do things like work on my car/mower/snow thrower. My tool boxes are both craftsman, bought back after Christmas many years ago when they were $60. My question: My father gave me a set of craftsman tools back in the 80s when I got back from serving...
