  1. Does anyone know of a source who might have any of the old two drawer tough boxes for sale? Maybe on close out??
  2. Very impressive! Where's the coffee table?
  3. Damn son... can't go wrong with that! You'll love the sawzall! All I got was some ho-hum pizza and a bottle of water and a job well done. Pretty disappointing when we're close to becoming a billion dollar company.
  4. A little side project I've been working on the past few days when I can find the time. Pretty happy with the out come so far. Might redo it when I eventually invest in a router. Still have a few more adjustments to make. I made it with the idea to leave it in the tough box vs. having a caddy to pull out.
  5. I don't doubt their a good brand. I personally find it annoying to return any item if it doesn't live up to your expectations.
  6. That's what I'm afraid of. I'll have to give it more thought or con someone else to buy them!
  7. Definitely like the set up! Might have to come up with something for my own... God knows I have enough chargers!!!
  8. Today while at Home Depot while looking at the usual. I just so happened to remember a past job this week where I could of really used a ratching open box wrench. So I came across these today. So as usual my question is. Has anyone used these or something similar from another company? How did they perform for you? Do you feel your investment was justified? I found these to be rather inexpensive to me at $39.95 for the set. I just hate buying something only to return it the next day.
  9. I'm very happy with my PC pin nailer. I've had it almost eight years and never had an issue.
  10. Poisonfang pretty much covered all the bases. Liscense, bonded and insured is a must and be sure to check if it's all current. Some cities may charge a small fee but shouldn't be more than $15. Make sure your contract is legit and solid and that there are no gaps left open. If the contractors estimate if off (which is not uncommon these days) make sure he/she provides you with a change order contract and that it's not written on a napkin! Good luck!
  11. Since I can't find one yet to see for myself. Can the handle on that particular be removed? I know two different totes are coming to market, just curious if that has the option to.
  12. What do you think of the tote so far? I've been stopping by HD and our local Dewalt dealer hoping to come across one. I'm planning to use it for my collection of drywall knives and accessories.
  13. I think the news over exaggerated the snow here in Denver by let's say 100 times over!!! You can't get a fair forcast from a metorogist to save your life. 5" from midnightish to 8am and it was all gone by 11am. I could go on and on about the weather here, but as they say.... "If you don't like the weather, wait a couple of hours it will change". This morning for example was 32 degrees with a projected high of 50-55... so why was it 68 around noon? Smh!
  14. Man you're a lucky dog if she buys it for you for xmas! I ask for tools every year and end up empty handed. BTW nothing but great results with the fuel sawzall. I've owned plenty of sawzalls in the past and this one rocks. The power this one puts out makes demo days a breeze. No cords to come unplug or get wrapped up in. Plus it might just be me but I really like the rafting hook too.
  15. Yes. One switch turns on the main bulb while the other switch turns on the bulb inside the base.
  16. Thanks everyone! I'm sure my wife will thank you later... Not!
  17. Here are some of the other lamps he is already selling around Arizona.
  18. Thought I'd share a project my dad has been working on for awhile now. Since his retirement he's been keeping busy with various projects (I.e. Remodeling/updating cabinets, writing books, building stained glass lamps). So I get a text message from him little over a week ago that he finished his Aviation Desk Lamp. It's pretty slick if you ask me... Makes me wish I had the time to do something like this in my spare time. But what do you guys think? He started recently selling his stained glass lamps around Arizona but has been toying with making more themed style lamps to sell. The wood used is African Wenge and Bocote from the West Indies. Don't understand why the one picture is sideways... But to move on. This immediately got me thinking what if there was a way to get the gauges to work too. Does anyone here know of a solution to this?
  19. I already made a couple posts/responses but never formally introduced myself. My name is Jon and I'm a toolaholic currently living it up in Denver, CO. I've been lurking around for a couple of months and enjoy some of the creativity I see on here. As for myself, I am in between occupations and looking to get back into remodeling etc. So hello everyone!!! Btw... Is anyone else here from/living in Colorado?
  20. The marker works ok. I bought two cause I wasn't sure how long they would last. Now that I've done 15+ Tough boxes I found that a graphite artist pencil works better and you're able to wipe off your lines after cutting. If you chose to use the pen I'd recommend wearing some disposable glove has you hands will turn black.
  21. For my pneumatic staplers etc., has anyone tired glueing two halves of kaizen foam together? Results? My other option I was pondering was making a wood crate and glueing strips of foam in certain areas to protect and keep them from rattling around. Any thoughts would be great.
  22. So it's funny I came across this thread. I've been scratching my head around this one as well. I'm a big fan of the kaizen foam as I've lined just about every tough case I own. But now it's coming down to what to do about my hand tools I want to have with me on the job. I want to utilize a tough case preferably the XL Box. My list of tools I am having a hard time with is a full set of screw drivers, hammers and pliers. I started with toying around with cutting lengths of kaizen foam and setting them upright so you can slide a tool in between the layers. But see the downside of it not lasting long. Also, since we're on the same subject. I also need ideas for my brad nailers, staplers etc. I like the idea of also being able to store them vertically in a tough box.
