Shop Clean out and Tool Organization

Truck Shop said: S A is pretty worthless around here, take everything to St. Vinny's. Click to expand... If St. Vinny's is St. Vincent DePaul, we got that here too. Those people take everything. Couple of years ago friend had to clear out Dad's place, they showed up and cleaned house, took just about everything, even carried the furniture from the 3rd floor apt. Four little Malaysian dudes, worked their asses off.

Boy, this threat is timely for me. Today is the day I'm moving tool boxes from the old house to the new basement. There's going to be purging and sorting. At this end. At the other end they'll be organizing. I'm loading up the wood tools, the table saw the planer vacuum system, router table, other odds and ends. We had to catch a good weather day on both ends.

Sometimes it's hard to know where to even start Doug. I usually just pick a small flat surface and put down 3 small bins and a big trash can. Throwing away "useful" things is also hard, usually need it the next project.

My tools are largely retired except for work at home but I keep them because I know sure as hell if I sell them off I’ll be right back into the field I’ve seen that happen multiple times to other people. Plus if the economy goes to crap I’ll have the tools to keep us fed working on anything and everything

It have some broken name brand tool truck tools but i dont see trucks very much anymore . I am going to call some of them to see if maybe i could send the tools some were and get them repaired ?

If you've got any broken Snappy call 877-762-7664 tell them truck doesn't come to your shop any more, set up an account. Most stuff they don't even want sent back, they even sent me rebuild kits for air hammer and 3/8 impact no charge (maybe a fluke?) have warrantied a bunch of stuff, shipped right to the house, they even cover postage.

Both had you fill out a form, provide the part number of the offending tool and then mailed me whatever needed replacing, free of charge. I was surprised craftsman sent me a replacement 10mm hex bit that I broke. I thought for sure they'd tell me no. 7 days later, a new one showed up. I've gone through several rebuild kits for my ½" drive S&K ratchet over the years, but I willingly use it as a breaker bar on everything. I've snapped off the square drive and stripped out the ratchet gears. They never question how it was used, just send me a rebuild kit.

Too bad Truck Shop's tool box didn't come with his vast knowledge of everything to do with trucks and trailers. If there was a special Jeopardy with truck categories Truck Shop would win hands down!

I'll take "that truck doesn't exist for $500 Alex"
