I'm a big fan of the Matco 88's myself. Metal handles across the board. They are the lowest profile heads between the ones you are looking at. I use metal handle for ease of cleaning, and the ability to put a cheater pipe on it if i need a bit more persuasion without mucking up my rubber handle...

Table top bin systems work for me. I also use the multi-drawer plastic cabinets. Both start off pretty inexpensive (Northern Tool mostly). They come in every size you can imagine, and you can mix and match so you get the right sizes for your "Collections." Table top versions, free standing...

@PhantomEB - Funny you say that, thats exactly what I was thinking of doing. I figured the "Wasted Space" in a upright is between the product on the shelf and the bottom of the shelf thats above the product. Buuuut, it you were to have a couple of properly sized baskets or mini-crates, that...

So, I stopped by a Sears Outlet and see what they had on the floor that I could get my hands on. I looked at both even though I am biased a bit to the Upright. There were several scratch and dent sales. Some I was willing to splurge a bit just to get it. I did find a Kenmore upright in mossy...

Ya, I'm thinking frost-free is going to be the only way to go. I hate defrosting, and I think I'd do more harm than good, and create more work for myself only to save a few bucks here and there.

very interesting stuff, I hadn't thought of loss from opening the doors on vertical vs chest style. I would think the full vertical when closed couldn't lose too much, due to less air space for the warmer air to settle in when the door seals shut. I do like the idea of the reversible door. It...

I always thought chest freezers used less power, especially when compared to frost free freezers. Thats probably a neccessary evil though, I hate defrosting my chest freezer. I feel like one day its just got gonna cool back off haha. Most uprights I've been seeing are 32" or less in depth. What...

Hey everyone, so I have a relatively old and small chest freezer in my garage. After a successful few hunts at the beginning of this year, I'm realizing my freezer no longer suits my needs. I'm looking into vertical freezers in particular. I only have space for a freezer in my garage, so i'd...

Good info. Never realized this was a problem, I just thought my GFI 20amp were moody. I have a 4 plug dropped just below my breaker box in the garage (Just installed/non-gfi) I plug in my dewalt 14" chopper up and she says hungry. But before I dropped that plug, I was on a 20 gfi, damn thing...

Welcome! So sorry for your loss! There is more than enough knowledge floating around here for you to learn anything you could possibly want/need to know or do!!

I am currently in a simliar spot. Bunch of motorhead/manly guys in the groupl. I've decided to have 1" Mac combination wrenches milled down and engraved, then have them cerakoted for each of the groomsman. My best man is getting a 1 1/4 Mac combination cerakoted. I'm personally making the...

My bad, I thought you were asking how to get the current finish off. If the finish now has stuck that well, use it again!! It obviously worked!! Lets see some pics! Doesn't have to be pretty to post it up :bounce: Stooge, melt powdercoat? Cool! That stuff is evil, I used it to get a fiberglass...

Lol, I know. I didn't know he made the thread yet I'll get this one deleted

EDIT: Duplicate thread... to be deleted

That would be a cool thread. The OP did ask for pics. Here is my work box (The one with the skull) that is coming home in a couple weeks. Bought a new one and should be out of paint soon. The black snap on is my home box (Only pic I have from when I got it)

Well played.... :thumbup: I would think aircraft remover (though a little spendy) would probably eat anything off of any surface, just my thoughts as I have never tried it personally. Gotta be something they use at the coating places to get the stuff off... Best of Luck!! Be sure to post up...

Oh, I wasn't inferring it was all Snap on. I'm not a brand ***** by any means, I meant the no money part and the doubles and triples of tools. Nothing cheap about tools no matter the brand. I've just replaced most of my cheaper stuff as I break it for something stronger and with a lifetime...

I've often bought the deals that were Metric/Sae deeps and get the shallow of the same for free. I keep the metric at work (Stealership Master Tech) and take the sae home as we resto american steel there. I keep a lookout for the off brand big name stuff (Silver eagle/blue point) for deals on...

Haha, ya, I am afraid of what the bottom of that bigger one looks like. I don't think there's anything in them, but after who knows how long, its a **** shoot... may have critters falling out the bottom instead of tools :scared:

Jimgood, read through your resto, awesome work! I dont want to hijack the thread, but I couldn't help but notice something sorta familiar about the box. I know I've seen one like it before, but I dont own any old school boxes.. until yesterday.... Long story short, went to my parents house...
