Also have one of those craftsman lights and I'm fairly pleased with it, especially for the price.
However, the button is terrible to push when it's cold out.

The 41's were on sale through Cala Industries (aka vipertoolstorage.com, they're the company that makes them).
For the two 41's I paid $475 each(when they were on sale) + shipping(which was a bit inflated IMO at $356) for a total of $1,306.
The two 26's I also bought on sale through sears.com they were $272 each + tax w/ FREE pick up (really a great deal on those, they're bigger than I thought they would be too)
If you would consider having the handles in a different color or finish, there are small screws that hold them in, just have to be sure to use a very high quality screwdriver with a strong tip. I'm changing the pulls, handles and castor hardware/brackets to black.

Those look really nice, was considering more Bahco stuff until I ordered a set of Bahco adjustable joint/alligator wrenches and found out they were made in China...where are those made?

new little TIG.
Sold my Lincoln Precision 185 and picked up this inverter unit.
The machine itself is great, but the accessories that come with it arent that great.
With a 14x24 garage I dont have much space to loose with a big old welder.

Tap sockets!!!
Once you use a sliding T with tap socket, you will never waste your time with the stupid adjustable tap handle!
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a tap socket? I have never heard of or seen these before, so I need to know what it is before I go buy it

Socket designed specifically to fit the square drive end of a tap where you would normally use a tap handle to turn the tap and thread a hole.
They also usually have an o-ring to help hold the tap in place.
Here's an example:

Met my Snap On guy today to buy a Sf80a without luck. Kind of picked this up on impulse...
Hard handle air chuck, mini wire brush set, two handles and a pry bar rack.
Being said...
if anyone has a sf80a for sale, without owners marks, Im interested.

Does Trusty Cook make hammers for Armstrong? That ball peen looks exactly like my Armstrong which I like a lot. That's a nice looking set of hammers there.

So I needed a flare wrench set and was on the prowl for a nice US made set. Was about to buy some SO ones when my wife surprised me with this find at the Sears she worked at. Got it on clearance for under 20.00 with associate discount. 9 piece SAE and metric flare wrench kit, Forged in the USA, raised panel:
Very happy.

I have that set, one broke prying on something under my land rover and I ended up punching the chassis.

They don't feel good at all but for the money you can't complain, plus, If I expect them to break I won't be disappointed
In all honesty they're temporary till I get some better ones because at the minute I keep bending screwdrivers because I'm lazy and there's always one within reach lol

I find speed is the bigger issue. You can twist a ratchet a heck of lot faster than turning and resetting the traditional tap handle if there isn't room to spin it 360*.

anywhere and everywhere. They are good for low clearance and high clearance spots. For example I had to tap 24 3/8-16 holes the other day I used a regular tap handle. I have a starrett long handle tap handle. 8 of those holes I couldn't turn the tap handle on because there was angle iron in the way. so I used a 1/2 drive t handle a 2" extension and a reducer with a tap socket. They are very useful worth every penny.
