Re: [Amc-list] Score!!!

Nice score! Now you need a label maker to label the drawers so you can find the tools too. 

Want some cheap but accurate enough to be usable measuring tools? Try www.enco.com. They have everything from cheap Chinese to the good name brands, how much do you want to spend? I have a dial caliper from them. Accurate to 0.001", good enough for hobby work! I don't know how long it would stay that accurate if used daily, but I only pull it out 5-10 times a year.

I've wanted a real tool chest since forever. Just haven't shelled out
the cash for one. One of the guys that works at the dealership with my
son (he's my son's manager) came over and did the back drum brakes on
my Rambler. He came over a few weeks later and put a tune on my other
son's kit car (Austin Healer look-alike with a Chevy 350). Each time
we've been searching all over the place for scattered tools.

Well, he bought a new tool chest with ball bearing drawers and all
that - freeing up a floor standing tool chest. I scored the floor
standing unit and two chests that fit on top for 50 bucks! The thing
is almost as tall as me!

Anyway, I'm excited. Will gather up tools, clean then and lovingly
place them in DRAWERS where they belong. Now I'm mad I sold my
micrometer and vernier calipers 20 million years ago. I want my old
machine shop tools (not that I've been inside a machine shop in 35
years, but still - tools are cool!).
