I know it was posted already but these things are sweet. This is the big guy and it should start most diesel pickups. It will start my skid steer no problem. Matco truck in spruce sells them 160 for the little one and 260 for the big guy.

I bought this cheap two-piece box from Home Depot for $190 on sale two years ago and realized pretty quick I had made a pretty bad choice as it took me mere minutes to fill it...so I went about finding the center box which helped some but I still find I've nearly outgrown it. I hung some peg-board over the work bench and moved my hammers and screwdrivers to that which helped a lot but I'm watching Kijiji for a lower that's at least 36" wide to replace my bottom box.

I find that being smart with how I use the drawers goes a long way in such a small chest. I saw all these nice pliers racks online but figured the prices guys were asking ($20+ per) was a little steep so I poked around on that Garage Journal board I posted about earlier and found a quick and dirty "poor mans pliers rack" idea. $10 dish drying rack and 3 minutes with the snips and I gained some room in the drawer.

My favorite thing in the garage is the wall magnet. It's ten times more convenient than a peg board cause you can basically just throw the tools back on it

Since we`re on the topic of tools, what has everyone got for good quality drill bits? What is better, titanium or cobalt? What brand is best?
Canadian tire has a set of cobalt bits on sale this week, anyone tried them?

Yes I use cobalt all the time, they are expensive but they last a lot longer then the titanium bits. A lot harder I believe and they can retain more heat without warping or loosing there edges. I would definitely buy a set, especially if they are on sale. You won't be disappointed.

Are you sure those are cobalt bits and not the titanium coated bits on sale? I've tried those Mastercraft titanium bits and wasn't overly impressed.

I looked at those when I was in the market,,, pretty much identical to the Pro tools bender

Sure
But protools pins are smaller
Frame is smaller
Dies and follower are smaller other than that there indentical

Tool storage / work bench review!
New age pro series Cabinets
Just
Installed these and very happy with the quality and finish. 18gauge, doors open close great. Drawers slide great, shelves don't bow loaded up.
I bought 4 base cabinets, one locker, 6 upper cabinets on sale from costco. Delivered to my door for 3G really are a great product for the price point!

Finally got back from Alabama and hung the uppers today! Turned out great...probably need two more and go right to the garage door.
