    matco 6s quad bay

    Here's my advice. Get one of the HF 44" boxes http://www.harborfreight.com/tool-storage/tool-chests-roller-cabinets/44-in-13-drawer-glossy-red-industrial-roller-cabinet-69387.html Then set aside about 2k of that 5k as a emergency fund just in case. Use the rest to buy tools.

    opinions on this welding helmet please

    Started out with a flip helmet, tried the HF autodark and liked it. Now I use this. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V68NHU/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Somewhat expensive but extremely comfortable and worth it in my opinion

    Need some advice on contacting a local Snap-on truck

    I've decided that I want to upgrade quite a few of my tools recently. This is in preparation for going back to school for diesel tech and heavy construction equipment.
