I got the Stanley from Costco and it's great for the money. Made in Canada, solid build, only down side is the detents kinda ****.

Very neat, that's a good idea. Kinda wish I'd planned for that eventuality.

Thanks guys, it was a fun build. My 2 year old son helped me for most of it and I'm sure it took about 50% longer because of it, but that's part of the fun. As far as the roof goes, time and material options were very limited. Enough fiberglass roofing panels were not available locally so I...

Very cool, may be implementing your idea.

Thanks guys. I just build it out of my head. I had a good idea of what I wanted it to look like, made sure it was totally overkill as far as sturdiness and started cutting and screwing. My brother and I were both walking around on top of the wall on one side at the same time and there was little...

Finally put my newly acquired tools to use and built my kids a fort. I'm definitely metal oriented as far as building and fabrication and as such this was my first attempt at a construction project. Still needs some finishing and have to put up a climbing wall on the right side, but being as I...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm in the bush for another 2 weeks but when I get out I'll be checking out the SO store and report back. Might look into Gray a little closer too, just got one of their 4 drawer sliding racks with bins that seems pretty nice.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the boxes. The Stanley's detents are a little tight but for $800 I don't think it can be beat. I gave my daughter the bottom drawer for her tools, considering she's 6 I think she did okay.

Wow, I had no idea that existed. That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. How are their prices?

Going to KMS isn't a problem, their stock usually ***** though. Just wondering if there was something else.

I'm in Ladysmith. I'm looking for full wrench sets as well as full sets of 3/8 and 1/2 sockets among other things but those are the main ones for now.

I'm in the process of replacing some of lower quality tools and am having a hard time finding quality tool options. I don't work at a shop so hunting down a truck isn't exactly convenient. There is a store about an hour and a half from me that sells Proto, and so far that seems like the most...

Thanks guys, it's been a lot of fun. She was pretty excited about it. I drag her out there for nearly every project, so I try to keep things light and kid friendly out there. Love it. Having never used an impact driver and getting this one I'm very impressed. As far as the drill it's got...

I got the bug to get my garage organized, and thanks to the wealth of information here I got some good ideas and got to work. I made a new 4'x6' bench, a stand for the table saw and a table for the drill to match the height so they double as another bench when the saw is not in use. A busy day...

How do you like it? I'm looking for some new grinders, something that doesn't make your hands numb after a couple hours use.

The Stanley I ordered from Costco.ca. From the Montezumas I've seen it's virtually identical. The Grey bolt bin I found at a local industrial supply store. I'd been looking for one for quite some time and was pretty excited when I finally found one that didn't cost $300 with bins.

Nearly done my garage reorganization project which included making new benches, a new tool box, etc. So this past week when I got home from my work trip in the bush, a made in Canada 41" Stanley tool chest was waiting for me. I also when out and picked up a used Record vise, Makita cordless set...

So glad I stumbled onto this great forum. I'm in the process of reorganizing/building my garage work space and have got a lot of ideas from you guys. I spend most of my time working out in the bush and get a slow night once and a while so I end up spending most of it perusing the wealth of...
