Sweet parts trays.

I found they're magic!   Left to them selves, parts just seem to find their way into the trays!  :great:
I spent $25 on this thing and now I'm reorganizing the whole garage just so I've got a good place to put it.
I could have easily saved the money and the headache but I saw this thing and just had to have it.  :-[

In the past year these ACE Hardware screwdrivers have been finding me.  Not all one place either.  Found 10 now, handles feel great,  logo seems to be early 1950s.

I like those, the logo is really cool.

Funny thing is that vintage Ace hardware tools seem to be a bit scarce or unappreciated.

Youl hear about master mechanic from true value, Keen Kutter from EC Simmonds, Bluegrass from Bellknap hardware,  you name it but rarely Ace.
I suppose they probably just never really had anything too interesting.

I always thought those were cool.
A few years ago a found a mint set at the flea market for $7 but already bought a bunch of stuff and had no more cash on me.
I don't remember the brand which I know wasn't Indestro , but they seemed very well made.

New pair of justin conductor's for work.

I got about two years out of the first pair there , and If the7y didn't smell so bad they could use a resole.

You have sweaty/stinky feet?
LOL sorry if that is too personal...if you do, I highly recommend one of these Peet boot dryers, if you don't already have one:

My feet sweat 24/7 and my boots used to stink so bad I would have to leave them outside. Not any more! Also helped me finally eradicate athlete's foot i was never able to clear up before. I shoot a blast of Lysol in each one after work and let them dry overnight.

Oh, and Peet is made in USA!

+1 on the Peet Boot Dryer.  It also warms the boots, which I really like as I get older.

In the winter, I never unplug mine.  I rotate boots and wool socks through out the day.  Wake up, put warm boots on feet, put on-deck boots on the Peet.  Repeat as socks get wet.

I love Winter!  People who don't like winter, don't have the right clothing.

Not my feet, my boots are constantly getting lots of water and , oil, and random smelly stuff on them.
Without the boot dryer it's difficult to find a chance to clean them where they'll be dry by the next time you go to lace them up.
Even with my 3 step treatment of neatsfoot oil,  Obenauffs heavy duty LP,  and a top coat of Angelus neutral polish ( for it's waxy water repelling coating) you still gotta go at em with some saddle soap then retreat every couple weeks or so.

Btw that boot dryer looks like the perfect choice, affordable, and US made.
My current one is this crappy cheap one that's mostly ment for sneakers.

somehow the peet boot dryer I ordered yesterday arrived today.
And no I didn't buy it off Amazon,  I do not do business with those bastards.


I was surprised that it makes absolutely zero noise, I know the other thing was very noise and annoying.
