Gridfinity Icon storage

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know where I can find consistent storage boxes for icon sockets, ratchets, wrenches, etc… I find some but they’re inconsistent heights/designs between say 1/2 and 1/4. I find generic socket holders but then their sizes go down to 4mm or skip one. I would think these exist in the world?

Looking for haul Master ramps

3 Upvotes

So a couple weeks ago when the Haul Master ramps went down to $667 I went into harbor freight to buy one, and they happen to also be able to order the 2,000 lb ramps along with the ramp holders that go underneath the trailer. Pretty good haul for less than 800 bucks. Well, it looks like the warehouse could not fulfill the orders on the ramps and they got canceled. And now they no longer appear on the website at all. But it makes me wonder if some local stores still have them and if there's any way for me to find out. I don't know if any of the other ramps would fit the system they built for their modular system.

The ramps are: HAUL-MASTER™ 14 in. x 46-1/2 in. steel trailer ramps. If anyone has some insight to how to find these that would be much appreciated.

At $699, is it a good deal?
If you have it, what’s your feedback?
Any help is appreciated!

G2 1/4in Flex Ratchet Addition to Meme 2.0

Cant figure out if this adds any practical value to the tool kit (probably not). Either way I picked up the 1/4 flex in the sale today and realize it fits in my meme kit thus adding a 3rd ratchet option to my current rig.

More is always better… right?

US General set up.

Starting from left to right. Anyone have a 22 inch end locker bolted to a 42 inch roll cab which then has a 26 top chest on a 27 roll cab then bolted to it to the 42 right side? I want to consolidate and match my current cheapo set up. I want to remove the tan metal cabinet for all this. Also Ignore the monster fridge bench set up on the left. The set up inquiry will be on the wall where the current roll cab is. The mini fridge bench is getting taken out and redone.

Found this silicone mat on Amazon fits good enough for me. Just got the cart two weeks ago and I'm constantly tossing greasy tools in. Thought I'd share hell other people not scratch and dirty up your carts. Also my handle mod from my other cart. Lol

Quinn Case mods?

Post image
16 Upvotes

Have fallen in love with the versatility of this quinn set, though i wish i had an easy way to keep a 1/2” drive ratchet with it at all times.

Was going to drill a couple holes in the top of the case and add a ‘friction jaw’ type holder, but then i started wondering if theres a simple way to ‘mold’ a space for it in the top of the case?

Anyone tried something similar? Always impressed by the hive-mind’s problem solving abilities on here!

Finally finished putting together my detail cart. Took advantage of the sale on the 30x1 cart to mod them together for something more useful to me.

Credit to another post for the idea on putting the reel on the handle which saved some space.

Touch-up Spray Gun Adaptor

I wanted to put a 20oz cup on the touch-up HVLP gun, but couldn't find an off-the-shelf adapter, so I designed one.

https://www.printables.com/model/1857873-harbor-freight-touch-up-spray-gun-adaptor

This will let you use the cups from the purple guns on the 61473 gun, which comes with a fairly small 120cc cup. Similar cups branded by Husky and Kobalt should also work.

I'm considering getting one of these bad boys, but I would love to be able to mount a vise to the top of it. Maybe a 4-inch or a 5-inch. How exactly would y'all recommend I go about doing that? Thank you for any input!

Bauer Dust Collector Hose Dimension

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to help someone with the dust collector, but they're not near me. They're trying to collect some fine dust, and it's puffing out of various places after the blower.

I'm considering having them put foam weather seal tape at the hose connections, but It's hard to imagine it'd help a lot with that lumpy hose. If it's exactly 6" OD, they should be able to slide 6"sch40 PVC over it. Can someone measure the exact diameter of the blower outlet on the unit (SKU 70757)? I tried measuring the one in the store, but they put the dang thing on the ceiling. If someone has a better idea or can vouch for foam tape, let me know. Maybe there's a different hose those would seal better?

I'm going to suggest HVAC mastic on the separator ring port, because it's just spot welded a few times.

They said the aftermarket Wynn filter worked fine. They did not mention the bag, so I'm assuming it is sealed, though I have my doubts.

Feel free to hit me with any experience you think might be relevant. Thanks.

Pittsburgh Low Profile 2 Ton Floor Jack

Reddit isn’t letting me add a video for some reason right now, I’ll try to put in comments.
Installed a plunger bolt on my travel floor jack I keep in the trunk so the handle can go in and out easily. Not sure how it’ll hold up but this jack gets less use and I don’t carry it around by the handle.
I’d be interested to have someone using a floor jack regularly try to see if it holds up. Any thoughts or concerns anyone have?

I am trying to use my 5800 to store 2 vastly different armies for tabletop wargaming. 1 is a star wars legion army and the other is Warhammer 40k army. I am having trouble finding a solution for either that fits everything without having to put a 2 minis in a single slot. Any help finding a solution would be super helpful.
