I got two of these from Harbor Freight (one for SAE, one for Metric) for $10 each, and they're the best solution I've found so far. They slide right into the drawer of your toolbox - just put some drawer liner down first, and it will stay put. They're not listed on HF's website for some...

What's even worse on those old Studebakers is you need a left handed screwdriver to take out the plug for the headlight oil. And if you don't spring for the Halogen oil, man, you're gonna be sorry down the road.:bounce:

+1 for the GripLatch. I've got a stainless ball bearing top box with the GripLatch slides and I've never had any problems with it. There's really no additional "effort" needed to open a drawer, and it is definitely effective in preventing unwanted drawer opening. For me, it's now pretty much...

FYI - I was just at Sears, and ALL Gearwrench stuff is 50% off (through today only). The stubbies are $29.99 through Tuesday.

Sweet - just sent in for mine. Also, FYI - I was in Sears yesterday, and they're giving away t-shirts with the same image on it if you spend $25 or more on Valentine's Day-type stuff (clothes, jewelry, fragrances, etc)...so if you need a last minute gift for the lady, might as well get yourself...

It's nearly impossible to hold a mirror and a flashlight without putting your beer down. And, as most of us know, that simply is not an option:beer:

Lots of good ideas in this thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11126&highlight=socket+organization

I've always been more than happy with my Stanley PowerLock tape measure. For me, less is usually more in this department - its a simple, straightforward tape that doesn't bind and always retracts smoothly. I've never been a big fan of the rubberized grips, auto lockers, etc - i don't need...

I've got the HF US General box, and as a weekend wrencher, it's great. I understand that it's not of the same quality as Snap-On, etc, but it's got a ton of storage space and is more than adequate for the non-professional. The box has gone on sale for $299 before (with coupon - that's what I...

I was thinking the same thing...:headscrat

I love the guy stomping on the screwdriver. You could do that with a cheap Chinesium screwdriver and achieve the same result. I don't care how strong you are, stomping on a screwdriver sitting on the ground while wearing rubber soled boots is not going to bend even the cheapest grade of...

Sometimes I'll throw a short extension on even when I don't really need it, just for additional clearance - the more you can do to keep your knuckles intact, the better. :pimpflash

Always seemed a little gimmicky to me, although I guess they might be useful in the right situation. I think I'd invest in a Knife Wrench before I'd pick up a pair of compound pliers:beer:

That's what I'm thinking...the guys that work the evening shift there know me very well and are usually pretty gracious about honoring discounts, coupons, etc. I'm looking for a cheap roll away to use as a mobile base for my mitre saw (as well as to house some smaller power tools and...

Is this the ratchet you're talking about? http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100068824&N=10000003+90034+527299&marketID=34&locStoreNum=4106

Was at Sears using up some $5 coupons on 3/8 metric swivel sockets tonight, and had this thought - I wonder if you could make that 15% discount apply to tool chests? Obviously, a tool chest won't fit in one of those bags...but...the little tag that says "take this to the register to purchase...

Another vote for the Proto Big Dawg here. As some people have said, they're definitely heavier than some other ratchets out there, and they may not have the smooth action that you would find in something like a Snap On - however, I think this is the most versatile ratchet I've ever owned...

Well, I decided to sell off the duplicates...I must say, it worked out pretty well. Gotta love e-Bay. I bought the 145 pc. Craftsman set when it was on sale for $99.99 - plus I used a $10 coupon, so my actual cost was about $95 (after tax). I poached about 25 sockets out of it (mostly...

Jeff - I really like the use of the "Sort-a-tool" organizer for chisels, punches, etc. Never really heard good things about using them for their intended purpose (storing wrenches), but I think you may have found a good use for them after all. I've been searching for a good way to keep them...

And by the way, Chris - how the hell do you find anything in all of those boxes?
