That little box must be about 6" on a side?

I was buying a window AC at lowes and they had these cool mini toolboxes for $20.



I'll either sort my pocket knives in it or use it for my Chapman set or something.

That little box is cool! I might have to see if I can find one for 20 clams.

Yep, 6×11×5.5

I looked these mini toolboxes up online and apparently they're a 25th anniversary promotional item, so they may not be around for long.
At my local store they only had the blue and black ones left.
They didn't have any of the Ft Worth Craftsman socket sets BTW.

It's like I don't pay attention at Lowe's. Or maybe my Lowe's never has the deals...

Could be, I almost never really go to lowes.
I just went there because they had the particular window AC I wanted in stock and on sale when my local HD didn't have any.
I'm still mostly an HD shopper because it's closer, I've already bought into the Ryobi system, and there's no lowes in the town I most go for shopping, but I'm starting to see that lowes is superior.

HD doesn't even sell real hammers anymore,  all they sell now are useless Chinese hammer shaped objects.

Just snagged another of the older Tekton lobed screwdrivers today. A long #1 phillips. I bought a regular #2 phillips a few years ago to try out the handle design - really liked it. If I wasn't so deep into the old Proto yellow handles I'd probably grab a set of the Tekton's. Shoot, maybe I'll head to the local Ace and buy the rest of the phillips - can't have too many screwdriver!

What's the difference between these and the current ones ?
are they American made ?

[bonneyman]

I just checked the website to see the current offerings. They now have nut drivers and hex drivers! Cool!

The screwdrivers look similar, with the addition of the pink hardhandles. Can't comment on those.

The hard handles are red, unless they introduced some special cancer awareness version or something.

You'd like the hard handles I think, they're 4 sided like the William's/ snapon.

nice collection!

It's not exactly a collection or even all of them, I just have a bit of a problem with buying a whole set instead of just say a #2ph when I want to try out a screwdriver handle.

All those screw drivers and not a single screw starter in the bunch. Elroy would suggest you diversify.
Do you have any posi-drives or square drives ?

I could probably donate a starter or two from my spares if you need them hickory.

I have more that didn't make the picture.

I have a set of clip on steel screw holders Stanley used to make, and I have an Ullman pocket screw starter.
For Robertson I just have the 3 in my GRACE gunsmithing screwdriver set which I use exclusively on Crosman airguns, otherwise I'm only ever needing to drive screws Robertson deck screws with my impact driver.
For posi-drive I have bits if I ever need them but never have.

got a good deal on a new shop-vac from the hardware store I used to work at
