A couple new boxes

[furbis]

I have been looking at getting a bigger box for my home shop to help organize my construction tools and free up space in my older craftsman set for my mechanic tools. There happened to be an auction this week and I picked both of these boxes up for about the same as a 5 drawer cart

Did the stuff on top come with, or are you just trying to show off?
I like those boxes. I did't know they made them with drawers like that.

Yes everything on top came in the boxes. The box with the vise and grinder looked like it had been sitting outside or in a leaking she'd but the girder fires up and runs smooth.

What are the 2 big C clamps used for? I'm thinking structural steel assembly.

Yea they look like some type of beam clamps, but will work just the same as c clamp in most cases. I've modified a few beam clamps in my day to press things in and out. I like using them because I use 8 point sockets with my impact wrench to tighten them down. Its much quicker, easier, and stronger than using the sliding t handle on regular C clamps. I'd say you got yourself a pretty good deal for a few hundred bucks.

That looks like a nice pair of really stout boxes! Good score.

That B&D grinder looks for the world exactly like a Craftsman block grinder, but with lighted eyeshields. Heck of a score, the whole lot.

I thought the same thing about the grinder, there has to be some connection there as similar as the 2 are.
