    I've had pretty good luck with racks. Don't remember if these are from HF or Lowes.

    I haven't broke any of these yet, but I tend to just grab one or two sockets at a time. If I need to take some with me somewhere, I tend to just take my Craftsman tool set that has its own box.

    Those metal ones? I hated them. I spent the extra money and got some Husky ones that have a pressure bearing and can either be mounted or use the supplied magnet strip. Love 'em.

    I picked up a 40 piece metric tap & die set today for $13. It was perfect for re threading the striped cab threads used to hold down the passenger front seat.

    I have two of the flat tilting tv wall mounts and they worked well. Figured I'd try this one out. And it's pretty amazing. Here's my 55inch LCD Vizio (pretty heavy).

    All my wrenches are from there. Get the pro line and they will replace anything that breaks.

    I've broken some SK brand sockets. I believe SK went through bankruptcy and may no longer have a lifetime guarantee.

    This weekend I am going in to get the 170amp mig welder. I need a bit more oomph than the 90amp is giving me to finish a project.

    I used an 8" miter saw with a cut off wheel for the most part which actually worked great for the angles i used an angle grinder

    I wonder if I can put a 12in on my miter saw and do the same. It's the HF one do I don't know if it'd have enough power.

    The Stanley B+D CEO just announced that they will continue to honor the Craftsman warranty. He stated that they bought a respected brand and plan to keep it respect by continuing the warranty that people value.

    I have a small one, the 3 gallon one. It has worked fine for my needs. ( put molding in the house.) Only thing is that it is not quiet at all.
