Garage Shop: Tools

Hardly! I’m counting on you for some cutting!

 

You design it, I'd be happy to cut (and post the files)

 

Have a small order, and I mean really small I can knock out within half hour and got nothing else in the queue

New air compressor arrives today or tomorrow

 

i organized my new sockets. now i can find them!

amazing how much space those plastic socket holders take up...




all better

 

Finally got my primary use box for my home garage.

 

One of my coworker has that box, I love how deep the top compartment is.

 

i think you win on having the most ratchets!

what's the blue anodized versions in the bottom right corner? i don't recognize that style

 

They look like t-handle ratchets with a speed handle. Not sure of brand if that is what you are asking.

 

Bigger and more air delivery than the one it's replacing

 

Those tires and rubber components would never survive re-entry...



















But a Makita would.

 

The T-Handles are Carlyle from NAPA. And yeah, I have accumulated a lot of ratchets over the years. I use maybe 5 depending on the job. I have a 15 year old that likes to lose my shit though so that’s my safety margin. LOL. I tell him that one day he will realize the value of my tools and shit his pants.

 

Where is our Makita fan anyway, haven't seen him post lately

 

I probably don’t want to know. I got them over time and never buy Snap On with credit. I just randomly hand the tool guy cash so I have credit on my account. My dealer gives me pretty good deals because I pay cash but I got them all when they were on sale or I shop them from eBay dealers. I think the main set of soft grips was maybe $280 and I got the hard handles for $150 off the truck. Pick sets and ratcheting ones were picked up here and there. I suspect that drawer is worth about a grand all in.

 

I wanted this box for about the last 5 years and finally got it. I do not regret it at all. Works great for my needs and I love the layout over the old Matco flip top. The split top is a game changer for me having all my sockets with ratchet storage under the top. Awesome box but source used if you can. Snap On is proud AF of this thing.

 

For you in these trying times...

 

You really converted didn't you

 

I wanted that anti-friction coating for when I need my tools to do outer orbital shit...

 

wise men don't ask those sorts of questions!

but enough to fund launching a dewalt compressor to orbit!

 

blue painters tape is cheap.

you really had me, until the masking didn't happen.
