Let's see.
A harbor freight gantry crane. Now I need to get a longer I beam to make it wide enough to drive my trailer in between. I'm also going to get 2 20' sections of 6" C channel because it will be used outside on rocks. Next month the trolley is on sale and I have a 25%off coupon for any single item on mother's day. It looks like mommy is gonna get an electric winch for a gantry crane!

I won an Ebay auction for a snap on 3/8 extension set for about a 1/3 of what they cost new.

I also bought a snap on 1/4 drive general service set that has deep and shallow metric and sae sockets as well as some extensions and a ratchet for less than half of the truck price.

Finally I bought a black harbor freight 5 drawer service cart and the shelf. For $169 plus the shelf, it is a killer deal. I'm going to paint the outside a metallic blue.

At least you can throw a tarp over it and bunk down in there when she tells you have to sleep outside :evillol: J/k

Are those Milwaulkee rachets proportional or just on/off?
Nah, my sweetie is awesome! We can claim all of it as a business expense as well so that is a positive. Also we needed the gantry crane for taking 3 of her trucks to build her crew cab, step side.

No pictures yet but I bought a 7-drawer roller box a couple weekends ago, it's tiny and beat to ****; but I paid $100 for it and I'm pretty sure it's an old Waterloo box; it was plastered with Mac decals when I bought it but I couldn't find any Mac boxes that matched this one.
It's currently blown apart in my garage all sanded down, it's getting degreased, sanded, and a fresh coat of paint on everything, then new drawer liner and I can move some tools from my truck box to a more secure place.

I didn't want a plain box either so I figured that black inside would be good with my blue. A friend of mine has a green Mac box and it shows everything so after 4-5 months he is trying to sell it.
