RCRGarage - Does that Duplicolor match the extreme green well? It looks pretty close in the pictures.

I moved my my ratchets to a different drawer, because I have been buying the Armstrong flex ratchets. I noticed my Armstrong ratchets are longer than my breaker bars. so i might have to upgrade my breaker bars.

I'd say it is in the ballpark, but not super close. Definitely the closest match out of a rattle can. The snap on color just appears to be electric or has a light shining through the powder coat.

Snap on sells extreme green in spray can, at $26 a can...ouch.

Making some major renovations (~$70-80K) at my home due water damage. I had to rebuild most of my small storage room too. Bought some cheap toolboxes which are quite nice quality for a dollar (euro actually).

How much were they Tony? :) 1 euro?
Not quite ;) I meant they have quite good quality/price -ratio. They are 239€ each which is about the cheapest available in Finland but IMO they easily beat anything below 500-600€ in quality.

My other boxes are 2 x vintage S-O, new Kamasa K6472 and 4 x Hazet Assistent.

4x Hazet Assistent, that seems a bit much :) But I can understand from a collector point of view of course ;)
Yeah, I know what you mean. ;) Only one is in active use now.

Here are 3 of them in my garage (and the Hazet garage stool too):

Let me know if you want to sell your raised panel breaker bars, I'd love the set 1/4, 3/8, 1/2.

if I sell them you will be the first to know. I am thinking about buying just the Sk 24" and keeping the craftsman. I see no reason to buy a new 3/8 or 1/4 because they are all the same length. I want a matching set but I want them longer than my raised panels. a 14" 3/8 Sk would be nice.

TonyCH what the hell is that huge vent pipe in your first picture? Geothermal or just a giant *** clothes dryer for all your heavy winter clothes up there at the north pole?
