Pullstart 62,600 #52 Posted January 21, 2022 Just caught myself in the act. Talking to myself. Taking measurements, debating where to put stuff… I need to move my toolboxes and vertical steel rack to make room for my new smoke stack hood vent system for the smoker. Yes Uncle Jim, I also spent a few minutes rearranging a tray of tools in my Craftsman set that dumped the other night. Then I need to find room for everything else in this bay, to get Norman inside and start working on numerous projects he needs attending to. Main one, Injectors. Long story short, all those 10 minute jobs that need to be done in 5? They added up again. Can’t find crap. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger 1,739 #53 Posted January 21, 2022 I used to have a dead blow hammer like yours, many years ago, bought from the “SnapOn” dealer who used to visit. After about 25years the plastic became brittle and began to shatter when used. A good hammer though, while it lasted! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The two of us tried it out once or twice on doing different things and I liked it so much I bought two more of different sizes... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Comes a time in a man's life when he has to put the engine order telegraph in all stop and clean his work space. Ain't that right Dan... Sides if my shop was as big as yours I would pitch a bunch of junk and have everything neatly disorganized... Ok off to Horror Fright for one of these.

Not that I'm creative, so not sure what my excuse is. When ever you throw something out, you find that you need it a day or two later. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ifixoldjunk 778 #66 Posted January 24, 2022 If I posted a picture of the chaos that is my garage y’all would wanna come store your horses there.🤣 But yeah, I’m often fairly guilty of talking to myself. Usually I ask myself who was the last idiot using the 10mm wrench until I realize it was me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't checked in a while, and was in Horror Fright today... I wanna get the additional side box for mine eventually. I couldn't find anything close to those boxes anywhere. Ball bearing slides, nice casters, drawer liners, and orange for $150 less than everything else out there. And they are built very heavy. Thicker metal than any others too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
