    Plate bumper time!

    Guys, I’m disappointed, how are you all not pushing him that way yet? It’s sort of what we do ‘round here...

    Well, finally broke down and upgraded my tool storage. Replacing tool boxes from nearly 30 years ago. I’ve got tools spread around the shop in 5 different boxes and cabinets. Finally they’ll all reside like tools should :D

    Old boxes...

    New box...

    Only got through about 25% of my stuff moved. I can’t believe how much stuff I’m finding that I forgot I had.

    Very jealous! I’m quickly outgrowing the small box I have now. I’ll be in the same boat in a few years.

    Im not a HF guy... but, I will say, the boxes seem to be pretty stout.
    I have a side-box in my van. Been bangint around for 4+ years in various vans.

    I have a collection of Vidmars, Kennedy, and used to have SnapOn.

    Currently in the market to swap in a different box... looking for a 41" bottom box...

    Love a good Kennedy. I need to get a rollaway next though. My 11 drawer chest and 2 drawer base are pretty full

    For the $$$$$$, you can’t go wrong. And I will say this. Myself and another guy of the same stature could not lift the top box into place empty. Holy crap is it heavy. They also made provisions that allow you to bolt the two sections togeather. I’m pretty happy with it. Hope it lasts as long as my little craftsman boxes lasted.

    I have a Craftsman similar to those, but with all drawers instead of the cabinet. Also a super cheap US General that I bought when I was in high school. For my basic homeowner use I can't justify replacing them as much as I'd love a nice big one like that. But judging on the size of that IR compressor I think you do a lot more than I do!

    It's cyber monday, I'm sure you will find a deal so they are only $699-$1999 :rofl:

    Was absolutely worn out yesterday after the wedding Saturday night and 3 meetings yesterday, went to bed at 6pm. Now I'm up at 330 and wondering if I shouldn't have went to bed a little later.o_O

    Yeah I've looked at some last year and all the ones that really would get me excited 6 are way out of my budget for a tool drawer set up right now. Every Once and awhile you can see some good deals on Craigslist when a guy retires, or a guy buys a real nice snap-on or something and then has to get rid of it quick. I have a smaller craftsmen I picked up two years ago for 40% off that does the trick right now, and probably for a bit into the future too.

    Yea just hard to find Kennedy Machinist rollaway toolboxes on Craigslist. I have seen a couple but I usually don't check often enough to grab it in time

    Looks like today is the day, I cave in, and try to get to the Doc...
    Can barely raise my left arm, even putting on, of taking off a shirt is an ordeal. Trying to lift it to the steering wheel, resulted in sharp pain. Something is obviously wrong.
    So, here I sit, waiting to call my Dr, and get an appointment ASAP.......

    I dont think it is that. Its soft tissue, feels kinda deep. Everytime I roll over on it, it wakes me up.

    This getting old shit sucks.
