There was a guy in welding class that had one of those HF grinders. He payed $19.99 for it and it would last him 20 minutes before the armature burned up. He took it back it to HF and they gave him another one no questions asked.

He brought the replacement grinder into class the next day and it too lasted 20 minutes. He took the replacement grinder back to HF and they gave him another one no questions asked. He did that 4 or 5 times and finally gave up. He then comes in one day with one of those bright yellow grinders. I asked him if HF gave that to him. He said no, he decided to just get his $19.99 back and go to Sears and get him the yellow grinder.

 

[mrsleeve]

Merkava I had one of them yellow grinders the good 9.8amp 4 1/2 inch that lasted about 2 hours of total run time before it tossed the brushes side way in to the arm.

now I have a green one cheapy green (hitachi) one that has lasted 3 years of hard use. I was gonna use it till it blew up an get a Red one (Milwaukie) but it has not yet

[Merkava_4]

That's a good idea, using the little girl to show scale.

 

[chad pickens]

Abby is right at 3 foot tall. I couldnt decide what to put next to them and she asked to have her picture taken so that made it easy. what do you think will I have enough storage lol

Abby is the quintessential little girl! We have an Abbie at our house too...

She's the one on the left.

 

[Merkava_4]

Yeah, you'll have plenty of storage. The only thing I would suggest is to get some kind of flat surface that will support the chests entirely.

 

[chad pickens]

You might be suprised at how secure they are mounted.

 

[Merkava_4]

You didn't drill holes in them I hope.

 

[chad pickens]

I also have a dog his name is Zeus

[chad pickens]

Under the bottom of the drawers where the lock cylinder is has 3 large channels . I assume to mount to a rolling cabinet. on the back there are 2 large openings to pick it up with a fork lift . I screwed the front channel to the bench

 

[chad s]

[chad pickens]

Yes hes a big boy lol. he is 14 mo old.Ive never been around a dog that's so gentle with children!

failed pic post attempt

Just thought i'd show you guys what setup i use. I'm a diesel tech and my territory is all of Canada so I work on the road a lot. Because of this my employer provides my top box so i don't have to wreck my own. This is good but it means i'm limited to this type/size of top box. Working on the road lots means I also have to have all the tools i need in the top chest. I only work on metric stuff so that's all i have in the top box (plus a couple of "all-sixteenths").

My bottom box had my standard tools in it but i mainly just use it to store old/****/extra/modified/rarely-used/duplicate tools.

Everything is siliconed in place so nothing moves around.

Just a new puller board we got for the shop. Not Christened yet!

Just a couple of examples of what I work on:

 

[Lyaec350]

What is that blue thing?!?

 

[garfunkle24]

it's a plot research combine. You'd get a better idea here: http://www.wintersteiger.com/E/sd_neuprodukte.html

Holy ****, that giant knipex looks like a war weapon!

You could probably dis-assemble a highway bridge with that sucker !

Got em throught the Mac apprentice program for 50% off too

I bought as much Knipex as i could through the program because you never really see Knipex stuff heavily discounted. In my humble opinion Knipex make Snap-On/Mac/Channelock/Craftsmars pliers look/feel like garbage. I hear Klein pliers are good too but i haven't had chance to really look at a set.

Nice. They are definitely on my 'to get' list !

 

[wythors]

I have a Channellock wrench that size. My thought I was crazy when she first saw it, but it has come in handy many times.

Is it the 16" or the "big azz?"

 

[Chris Adams]

I think I win the contest for most boxes.
Here are the six rollaways in the garage, with 5 intermediate boxes and four top boxes.

Then there is the one in my smaller shed, filled with reloading stuff Kennedy box on Craftsman bottom, and finally my wife’s rollaway for camera stuff with a couple of intermediates on it. She doesn’t want a tool chest, she prefers being able to toss things on the flat.

Total of 117 different drawers, with 11 extra compartments in various divided drawers, plus 7 top compartments
Total of 135 different places to misplace something…
Or why I need labels.

Man I bought a lot of Channellock stuff and I planned on keeping the BigAzz one (20.25") and when I got it, it made me feel a little less manly. Those things are HUGGGGEE (and if your from NY, think Fuccillo huge). So I took the 460s out of the package and have yet to part with the BigAzz pair yet...

 

[Merkava_4]

Hey strizzy, I've got a blue ethernet cord too.
