Got a Wenger Handyman from a neighbor's garage sale as a kid, with a generic leather sheath. Traveled many miles with me during my time in Boy Scouts. It also spent some time in my paintball box. Never lost the tweezers or the toothpick surprisingly. These days, it hangs out in my big toolbox at...

I have a 44" stainless top chest I scored from the scrap heap when I worked at Grainger. It was way nicer than my small homeowner grade CMan combo I had at that point. It was damaged during shipping on the top left back corner, so it was returned. It's been a good toolbox for the price I paid...

The CS-590 with the 18" bar is what I'm looking at also. My FIL is a Stihl man, and my BIL (his son) is a Husqvarna guy lol. I was looking at the Stihl MS250, or a used MS271, but the price vs feature of the Echo won out for me. I won't be cutting much more than baseball bat-sized trees and...

Yep. I'm the only guy in our shop that doesn't have a tool truck impact or toolbox. SO guy barely speaks to me when he comes by lol.

Goals right there. Love my Sunex 1/2" master set

I wear a MSA V-guard full brim, and when I need a headlight, I have a Klein Tool Rechargeable Auto-off Headlamp. Comes with a rubber strap that is pretty grippy. Bright enough for me, rechargable with the same cord as the streamlights we have (and some work phones), and haven't had it slip off...

Probably overkill for roadside repairs, but it rides in the driver floorboard in the backseat. 50% of the reason it stays is the rare occasion I need it at work, which is infrequent at best. Mainly all metric Genius 1/2, but have a set of the free HF screwdrivers, an adjustable wrench, and...

I have that set in SAE, and I love it. Gets used every day working on industrial water transfer pumps.

1. Sunex 2. 1/2" impact swivel, broke the pin that held it together 3. Purchased as a part of their master SAE 1/2" drive set that comes in the blow-molded case How and where did you process the warranty claim? -First called Sunex to get a replacement, but the lady I spoke with referred...

My dad bought a toolbox almost exactly like that from a neighbor's garage sale for dirt cheap. I ended up changing jobs and needed a toolbox, and he had it sitting idle. He repainted it using rustoleum. Not sure what particular red he used. The drawers are similar to the hammered finish, like a...

I'm not sure how quiet you want, but check out the power units from Hydra-tech. We use them for hydraulically powered submersible pump heads. It looks like they may have sound-attenuated units, but be warned, those are probably cost-prohibitive...

Got tired of trying to purge old wheel bearing grease in the bearings on our trailer mounted pumps with a pistol-grip grease gun, so I upgraded to an M12. Another tech at our shop has a 20v Dewalt, and it is a dream to use on bearings, compared to the manual gun.

I love white boxes. Our local SO guy tried to sell me on one of his boxes a few months ago, but I can't justify $1500 for a Milwaukee box combo, much less what SO would want haha

Two sets of pliers: some Milwaukee v-jaw pliers (48-22-6212), a gift from my dad. Havent found them to be any more useful than my Channellock 430s, so they are in my drawer. Feel good though, and I love Milwaukee. Channellock 212 filter pliers, via Amazon: bought to replace a HF filter plier...

I wear a pair of the (now discontinued) 804-4369, havent heard a squeak from them in the almost 2 years I've worn them.

Got tired of my 10" Craftsman Evolv adjustable wrench not doing everything I need it to, so ordered a Proto J712. Feels so much better than my Evolv, plus the size markings on the evolv were off/wrong, at least on the SAE side. It works fine for everything I tackle at home, but just isn't quite...

As a former upfitter for police and emergency vehicles, this was one of the most common uses for underhood lights. I'd spend hours and days sitting in the front seats wiring radios, sirens, and light controllers. And they would also do double duty for trunk/rear installs, like in this attached pic.

Nice score!

I know you were asking CJM about his experience, but my experience with the current Husky ratcheting wrenches has been great, especially considering the price of individual wrenches. The two failures I experienced 10mm flex ratcheting combo: ratcheting part of wrench would lock up randomly...

This is absolutely true. I only stumbled onto Genius via one of my old jobs, where I was told to clear a space out and throw everything out. One of the items was a 1/2" Metric socket set, with a breaker, extensions, spark plug sockets, metric hex bit sockets, corresponding combo wrenches, all...
