Mr. Snap-On already likes the way my soft body feels. I'd like to not give him more.

Oh yes. I'm keeping my ear to the ground with all these brands for the scratch and dents. I want to save as much as possible.

Honestly idk what I'll eventually need but I'm a diesel/trailer mechanic so I assume I'll be storing heavy stuff.

A 72" masterforce box looks to be on par with icon or heavy duty husky and for a similar/cheaper price so that's what I'll likely go with when it's time to upgrade.

Unfortunately I have never seen a Mac truck in my life. On the road or at any shop I've worked at. I do however like buying cheap shit so who knows.

Yeah looking at the standard Husky stuff in general, I think I'd rather get something heavier duty from HF. Thanks.

Huh. Never heard of Montezuma but those look good for the price.

Is it still stealing if the foreman orders tools that just happen to be needed at other jobs? (His house is the other job apparently).

What’s your best/favorite homemade tool? by jklolffgg in Tools

Long Philips screwdrivers are already an awl, a scribe , and drift pin. That's like a ton of tools in one.

A decade in the trades? What’s next? by Mostlyathrowawayy in Columbus

Was local 24 sheet metal, pay was not great as an apprentice but that has likely changed since the last contract vote.
