i hope i'm not the only one feeling slightly aroused at the sight of this toolbox...

[winfred]

i am rather fond of chucks spring compressor to the the right of my new locker, that thing is worth every penny about $500 i've seen it in the mid 4's

[winfred]

counting the handle i hang my ac gauges and bungees on it's 7'6" long, bwahahaha

I see you have block, but rendering that wall useless with some cement nails perhaps you could instal brackets and make shelves, so that after a time of 300 SQ ft of shelves that gets full also...just a thought. I should take a panarama of my barn that I dont even utilize anymore. All it takes is years and it will fill. Im just saying that the new burb is full, maybe shelves are in order to use the new burb for stuff instead of storage.

4 more beers till bed time

nevermind.

:D

[winfred]

i allready have two 6' shelves over my pegboard with a half dozen bentley's some crappy haynes books and some absolutely useless chiltons, paint and other spray stuff, silicones, spare computer module type stuff for testing, ac compressor oil, unusual screws/clips.............blah blah blah

[632 Regal]

you need a panorama of my barn to see what happens when you get older... might make you go through all them dead spray bombs...lol

[winfred]

yea we ran outta wall space a while back, i had to relocate my big drill press for the locker

[scott540]

MAn, I wish I knew what to do with all of that stuff

Very nice box Winfred, I was going to ask you how you liked that strut spring compressor , if you'd care to answer in more detail?

[winfred]

it's great, the only thing i wish it did that it doesn't is hold the strut it's self, some of the boge's have those damn return springs inside the cartrage and it takes a extra hand to get the nut on it, you just can't compress the spring enough for some of them, but cram a milk crate under the strut or clamp it with vicegrips to the spring and it's fine. as a spring compressor it's great, it even does the small diameter rear bimmer coilovers well, it's nice not firing springs across the shop anymore with elcheepo units, i watched a guy punch himself in the nuts with a runaway spring with a pair of those threaded rod bastards, i always use atleast 3 of those, two aint enough

My RF spring is currently quivering under the tension of 4 of those *^&&% screw and hook compressors. I just don't trust the nads to anything made in China when under such pressure.
