I may have gone overboard with the boxes

@MPTxTremor I picked up some Ridgid boxes recently as well... Worked well for my needs:

I really like these vises:

HEUER Vice

The HEUER vice - the best clamping tool for the professional. Made in Germany, steel-forged, guaranteed unbreakable, top in test!

Details? Nice. Where did you source the vice? I need a new one.

Haven't bought one yet (above pic I found online), but here is where to get them: https://www.woodwardfab.com/product-category/product/bench-vises/heck-heuer-bench-vises/

Does anyone own one of these Dewalt 20V Max 2.5 gallon portable compressors? Looking for a portable air option to have in the truck without the cost of a full air system install.

Additionally, anyone came up with a good charging system for batteries? My initial guess is using a DC charger rather than the A/C rapid charger.

Thanks.

I have a 44x18.5 9 drawer and it has worked well. Great size and slides.

Bought one these and seems to do the trick!

I used the Milwaukee Packout system to create a storage setup in the bed. I like that it can be removed in under a minute and is hidden from view.

Can you share some info on the cable you are using to lock it all down? I need to do this.

Sorry for the delay, it’s been a busy week.

I used the Master Python locks. More of a deterrent than anything.

Looks like a great addition to the Milwaukee stable:

Very nice. Guess I need to keep my eye out for a deal on these.

torque wrench. Should be simple, but I’ve been looking for a quality inch lb/ and a separate ft/lb for some time. I read the reviews and they all seem to be full of horror stories about how the wrench from x manufacturer wasn’t correctly calibrated and they broke head bolts costing them thousands of dollars or similar lack of accurate wrenches. I’m at the point where I’m looking for a reasonably priced snap on one on EBay because everything on amazon and at Lowe’s/homedepot is trash.

If you are still looking, Project Farm on YT did some torque wrench testing that may help you -

I’ll take a look at this, thanks

watched, looks like the deWalt is the best choice for me. the snap on is overall best, but 451.00 is steep for my needs.

To All - I’m looking to finally get a quality grease gun that I can use on darn near anything that might need it.

Any quick suggestions?

Much appreciated!

I’d rather pay someone to grease things for me rather than use anything other than my Milwaukee M18 grease gun. I wish I could have found the plastic case one.

Damn that thing is spendy! I wonder how it compares to my Milwaukee?

For those of you running Ridgid (as stated earlier, I do). Here's a link for 2 4Ah batteries with charger for 79 bucks. I just ordered it because I see this pop up once in a while and then it seems to go away. I got into them years ago because of the lifetime guarantee, even on batteries.

Yup.... and now the link takes you to the same batteries for $277. Well, hope some of you jumped in time.

I purchased this a month ago with a 25% off coupon and just received it yesterday. I typically stay away from Harbor Freight for quality tools and leave it for the one time use stuff. However, I must say this thing is well thought out and a beast. At $375 less than the Pro Eagle it was a no brainer.
