Ha, no way, I use the little joining studs as shelves, can’t lose those as I am too lazy to assemble the bracket shelves I bought 10 years ago.

My buddy/neighbor (@the_r_institute on Instagram he is an amazing porsche builder — the 68 912 he built is out in Cali now after it sold on pcar market)

https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/1...-outlaw-build/

found a 70s era snap on box for cheap and I helped him fix it when I was over there. All it took was fixing a couple bent retaining tabs on the slides and greasing them. They are built like tanks. Of course, I am too cheap to buy snap on tools so the only snap on tool in the snap on box is a pocket screw driver I found.

I have Sonic MSS+ on a ship somewhere, hopefully in next month. Have used Metaline (pic below) in the past and have in the main house garage, but couldn’t resist the tools in foam Sonic offers, so upgrading everything in the shop.

I highly recommend if you are buying nice cabinets with nice counters, build or buy a work table so you can beat the crap out of stuff vs your new cabinets. Had a buddy build mine, 4x8 sheet of 3/4” steel top. Love it. (Covered in stuff given I have no cabinets yet!)

Its an Autostacker. I really like it as it works i. A tight space. Its just for storage, not working on the car.

Wish they made a version that could be used with bridge jacks for basic maintenance and removable panels in the middle. They'd sell a ton.

I have been around cabinets for the past 30 years and nothing comes close to Lista or Snap-on boxes. Everything else just feels like cheap Chinese made crap.

My neighbor just had some cabinets from Vault installed and they seem to be very well built. I will keep my eye on them and see how they hold up with real daily work.

Also, judging a tool by what kind of foam tool holder it comes with is just stupid
Are we buying tools to use for work or just to look manly?

I agree on LISTA + SNAP ON




I do not understand what tool you are talking about. I bought snap on and Lista to hide food from my nagging wife
