    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    Thanks for all the advice! I'll probably start by scoping out fleamarkets & yard sales. I would've gone with a roller but the quality & price of the 5 drawer is hard to beat.

    Sorry if this has been answered but does anyone know a small 2-4 drawer box that fits in the space underneath? Space is tight for me at the monent /:

    Recycled Glass Blast Media - Has Anyone Used It?

    I've used it, I perfer the lack of mess compared to soda or sand, not much difference in performance compared to other blasting media's although I haven't tried on that large of an object so I can't comment on how much more or less it could possibly take.

    Sears/Craftsman - where do you want to see it go?

    I'm not sure how many others are in the same boat as me, but I live ~5 minutes from a sears, they get a lot of hate on here but other then harborfreight it's the only tool store (except HD/lowes) near me & it's convinent. I love online ordering etc, but there's something to be said about a brick...

    And the price keeps dropping

    My guess is father passed away & son has no intrest.. Only justifiable option. Or he has a drug problem/ debt to wrong person. :dunno:

    Recommend some good male torx bit's

    Yeah, I should've specefied I'm looking for sockets not bits. Mine see a lot of use. I drive a BMW, most of my family drives euro so they're used just about as much as my trusty 10mm. I'll have to look more into this SK thing happening next month.

    Recommend some good male torx bit's

    Seems like a good buy... To those that'll suggest saving for snap on, it's just not able to be justified in my mind. Any have any comparison of snappy to proto?

    Recommend some good male torx bit's

    Hey! Can someone recommend me a good quality set of male torxs bits? I know the word is Snap On HD's are the best, but I'm looking for something above craftsman quality below snap on price. I've been looking at nepros but still a tad pricey.. Looking for 3/8" drive T10-T60, Haven't even had...

    Removing snapped bolt

    Update so far: tried heating & punch. Not enough room to get a good swing regardless I doubt if that method would've worked. 20minutes in I'm 3/4 of the way through the first bolt. Cobalt bit from lowes review: eh, not holding up well. I have a bunch of random bits from yard sales that i've...

    Removing snapped bolt

    Well it's currently being pushed into place by a 3000lb+ car, attached up top by three bolts & attached by the endlink.. I don't own two vehicles, I couldn't get a ride. If you'd like to come give me a ride to work I wouldn't have driven. Thanks...

    Removing snapped bolt

    I think I'll try heating & using a punch tonight.. The threaded area is very small so i maybe able to get some luck. I wont be able to use a drill press/taps until thursday so I dont want to attempt drilling & then be stranded. It's already pretty terrifying driving it now. But had to get to work.

    Removing snapped bolt

    It's an 05 bmw 325xi. There is no nut. The far side on the clamp is threaded. There's nothing to really grip to try and twidt.

    Removing snapped bolt

    Hey all, So first off I've been searching most of today but I still felt like I should ask. The situation is the 18mm grade 10.9 pinch bolt on my strut lower strut mount snapped... On both sides, driver and passanger. About 3/8" into the hole. So far I've soaked it in pb blaster twice over...

    Would a bottom tool chest mount on top another bottom

    My dad had two HF 44's mounted together, we never moved it except once to test if it was sturdy. Mind you he's been a machinist & fabricator for decades so the extent of the modifications was probably A) overkill B) beyond what it was worth.

    Your go-to ratchet

    SO F720, love it. I'm slightly worried about using one of the newer series in case I fall in love with the extra gearing. But for now I couldn't live without it!

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Bleed from 3 various knuckles.. Cursed repeatedly. Finally squeezed new springs in. Sheered the last two bolts i needed to remove, then dulled two drill bits. Generally a pretty successful day because they car can still be driven !:) xD
