    Looking for ideas/setups for my box, specifically sockets organizers that don’t look like trash. Would go with toolbox widgets but 12 for 20$ doesn’t seem worth it to me.

    Ratchet/socket driver collection.

    Does any one have any that they really like? That I don’t have, not talking about brands but styles.

    Gearwrench Socket Drawer

    Getting a larger toolbox tomorrow so before this drawer is reorganized and moved into the bigger one, I thought I'd share it as a before the after photo.

    I may have a HiViz problem

    My OCD really likes these SJW organizers, and there’s very minimal wasted space in a 30” cart drawer.

    Anybody else using a Fireball Tools vise?

    I friggin love this vise. Had it about a year now and even though it's huge it's works great for small projects too. And yes I added the white paint to it.

    Anybody else using them and if so, have you found any other uses besides normal vise uses?

    Starting my tool collection at age 37 part II

    Did anyone else grow up liking (atomic) purple because of the Gameboy Color or is it just me?

    This is a game changer

    Induction heat tool instead of a torch. Totally changing the stuck bolt game.

    Started designing my own organizers

    Purchased a Tekton 3/8" socket set to replace my cheap no name set Ive had for 15 years. It didn't fit my blow mold tray so I decided to model my own in fusion. I had no idea how simple, satisfying and addictive it would be. About 3/4 of the way done with the top drawer.

    If you need a need stay for Kennedy toolbox

    You will need to shorten it in the center, add spacers top longer, to move it more inward. Then get a nut/bolt/washer. You will also need to remove the part that is meant to attach to the underside of a case.

    However, it does fit and is more robust than the stock. Would have preferred gas but would have meant extra holes, very happy with the outcome.

    Latest Score!

    Out wandering antique stores today and came across this beauty! A Millers Falls beam drill in dang near pristine condition. No parts missing or cracked, just needs the auger sharpened up and it’s ready to go. He was willing to haggle a bit so I got it for under the asking price. It’s a great day!
