For varying values of "work", sure. OTOH, I'm looking seriously at their steel tool chests. They seem to be very nice at a good price point; very good roller slides for many hundreds less than the competition.
...which has leaking batteries. ;-)
You've never seen a real cop with a 2' Maglight? Traffic and state cops all seem to carry them.
Better than keeping them until they leak. That's the choice.
Dunno, work is fun but doing it at home, too, doesn't seem like so much. I'd rather make sawdust. Same sorts of thinking but more of a sense of accomplishment.
They do seem nice, I'd stay away from the ones with regular nylon slides though. Of course I have a Crapsman cheapest of the cheap roll cabinet for household tool storage that I think I paid $120 for both pieces and despite my expectation that it would fall apart in a couple years it's still together...!
I thought they'd all gone to Surefires a decade or so ago... and there's better (at least brighter) lights available than either, or get a Malkoff drop in...
Eh, I seem to end up always doing electrical troubleshooting on some ancient vehicle or other... was just helping a guy put a new wiring harness in a Studebaker last weekend, having a meter helped me check everything out before powering it up.
Follow up: Stopped by Micro Center today as I'd seen the Tenergy Centura C, D, and 9V cells before. They still had 'em, prices in all cases about $1/pack more than Amazon so I bought one of each and two 9V. They've also started carrying the AA and AAA sizes.
Got lucky for once... went to change the 9Vs in my Flukes and the older "backup" meter had an ancient Duracell in it, date on the case was 2004 (!!!) and it was decidedly bulgy but not leaking (and still working.) The newer Fluke had a "Heavy Duty" 9V in it (carbon-zinc!) but it looked fine and still had a charge on it, but it went bye-bye anyway. So no worries there, I think the only devices that I now have with alkalines still in it are my Simpson 260 (and I'll get that later today, but I just changed the cells in it maybe 6 mos. ago so it should be good) and a 4-D Mag-Lite that I just can't justify $40 worth of NiMH to switch over - but if I can get the 3xAA to D adapters I will store my spare AAs in it to kill two birds with one stone.
Now I need to acquire a charger that will charge the NiMH 9Vs... they had the Tenergy brand chargers at Micro Center but most of them were dumb timer-based chargers. They did have the Tenergy 9V only charger which is a smart charger, but I'm trying to find a charger that will do all sizes NiMH including C, D, and 9V and all smart, preferably able to run off 120VAC and 12VDC; seems to be easier said than done however. My Maha C9000 will do AA and AAA natively, C and D with adapters (but only two at a time, and with limitations, so it's not real convenient save for break in and reconditioning) and 9V not at all. The Tenergy 9V charger won't work off 12VDC, but worst case the Maha 9V only charger will.
It is a little frustrating that I'm apparently having to become an "expert" on NiMH batteries and chargers just to accomplish the simple task of switching all my battery operated devices over to them... but I don't want to repeat the experiences that I had a few years ago when NiMH was newer and I just bought an Energizer brand dumb charger off the shelf at a store; I was disappointed with the life of the cells I was using and I'm sure that the charger was partly to blame, and at the same time I was using non-LSD cells as that's what I could get in stores at the time.
Yeah, a cabinet full of tools is pretty heavy. I've had several kitchen drawers fall apart so I tend to overbuild (and overbuy) everything. Repairing what shouldn't break pisses me off. I'd rather be building something new (and it's easier ;-). I'm really afraid the cheap cabinets will be more aggravation than they're worth.
They don't put nearly as good of a lump on the perps head as a 6xD Maglight. It's not about light, rather the perp's lights out. ;-)
Sure but I rarely do such things. I leave batteries in my Flukes because they are hard to remove. Nothing else, though. Fortunately, I haven't noticed any leaking.
