How to Choose the Right Toolbox

When shopping for a tool box there are lots of considerations. Whether you are a DIY-er or a repair shop pro technician your needs may be a little different than the next guy's. Many people have a need for tool boxes, and there are many suppliers to choose from. The better manufacturers listen to their customers and build products while keeping the end user in mind. Tool boxes come in many variations: roll cabinets, top chests, hutches, side boxes, lockers, roll carts, and road boxes. They also come with varying features, including different widths, depths, and heights. Specifications are key. However, it may be hard to gauge one brand of tool box against another because only a few manufacturers make all the specifications readily available. It is important to know what you are buying when shopping online. If you can, we recommend you access complete specifications and features such as: • drawer configuration and drawer interchangeability • full extension drawers that pull out to the back of drawer • multiple long drawers that offer deep socket storage and long bar or long extension storage • thickness of steel used in cabinet frame • drawer dimensions and thickness • drawer pull type and latch type • drawer under supports for heavy loads that prevent drawer from buckling • type of drawer liners • weight capability of ball bearing slides • locking and security • caster size and type • accessory boxes available for future add on (top box, side boxes, hutches etc.) • price and availability • free shipping • warranty and service AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:NET WEIGHT, when comparing equally sized tool boxes (similar width, depth, and height) this is an important tell-tale sign that the tool box is built well. When you are not able to find answers to all the specs of a tool box, the net weight (not the shipping weight or gross weight) will be a very good indicator of quality construction. Suppliers consist of mobile distributors, many independent manufacturers, and even big box stores. Higher quality products are usually associated to the mobile distributors such as Snap on, Mac, Cornwell, Matco and independent manufacturers such as Extreme Tools, Lista, and Shure, to name a few. Really making an impact is Extreme Tools, a manufacturer of tool storage boxes, based in Illinois. Extreme Tools started in 1999 and began selling tool storage products in 2004. Extreme offers a very well-built tool box for a very low price. Like most tool box manufacturers, they offer a professional series and a standard series. They are the best bargain I know of if you are shopping for a tool box. Having sold Snap On–and now Extreme– these would be my first two choices. Although there is a wide difference in pricing between the two, there is very little difference in quality and appearance. ...read more

111 Reasons to use a travel agent

Knowledge&Expertise.;Researching travel deals, vacation tips, hotels, resorts, prices, reviews, etc. can be really time consuming for the average traveler. The beauty of working with a travel agent is that you’ll be able to tap into their existing knowledge and expertise on all of these subjects. Travel professionals have first hand knowledge on dozens of destinations, and often take special trips to learn about new offerings, properties, and amenities to offer you the best advice possible. A travel agent working closely with their preferred tour operator has access to a multitude of resources to ensure the best vacation experience possible. The Human Touch.Agents will ensure you will have an amazing experience on your trip. Agents are excited and will show their enthusiasm in helping you, their clients, have the best vacation possible. Travel professionals are personally invested in seeing your trip become a success. This personal interaction with real, live agents trumps the often lackluster experience of doing it yourself online. Personalization.Due to “The Human Touch” you receive with a live person helping you, travel agents are able to personalize your trip for your needs. Understanding your needs and wants, agents can make recommendations on vacations for families, adventure seekers, nightlife-lovers, honeymooners, foodies, sun bathers, and more. Knowing the differences and nuances of both the destinations and the wants and needs of their clients make their service invaluable.These days it’s all about ‘unique’ experiences – travel agents have access to their preferred tour operators portfolio of products, whether it be a villa, an all-inclusive hotel in the Caribbean, or a beginners guide to the great cities of Europe. Using a travel agent means there is no ‘one size fits all’. Getting Resolutions.Unfortunately, as we all know, travel can either be a breeze or it can be a pain, and it’s often not in the travelers hands to change the situation. Travel agents to the rescue. Mix-up at the airport? Lost luggage? Making sure you arrive on-time, hassle-free, despite the flight cancellation? If a problem arises at the destination your travel agency will have the support of their preferred tour operator and the strength of their hotel relationships to make sure the issue is more than adequately remedied. These are all situations where your travel agent can help resolve the situation on your behalf. They are your advocate, and they have your back. Planning Around Unforeseen Circumstances.Natural disasters, terrorism, and inclement weather are all facts of the world today, but that shouldn’t prevent you from planning an amazing trip! These are all issues that can disrupt your vacation and travel experience, and knowing that travel agents have the ability, and the right relationships, to work with your airline or resort and fight to get you credits for a future trip, will Trust.Building that personal relationship gives you the confidence that you can trust your agent’s expertise, and that no matter the situation, they will be there to help you find a resolution. Due Diligence.Agents make sure you have your preassigned seats (your usual aisle seat), your requested special meal, booking ahead of time your spa time, tee times at the resort’s best golf course, and other experiences. Why do it yourself when the travel agents do this for you happily? Prepping You For Travel.Often, these multi-talented agents are able to help you in dealing with some of the “requirements” of travel including securing visas, rushing you passports, and other government related documentation domestic or foreign. Travel agents make it their business to know the various government rules and regulations for the places you want to visit most. Saves You Time.Think about all the time you’ll be saving yourself: no need to scour the web for the best resorts, prices, packages, experiences, events, dealing with travel complications, and securing visas when your travel agent can do this all for you? If time = money, your travel agent just made you rich. Great Pricing Options.Travel agents have access to the same rates you can find yourself on the web, but can often find sales and promotions only available to agents, not available to consumers online. Even more important, a travel agent, rather than just focusing on the lowest price, will be able to find the best value for YOUR particular needs and travel preferences. Relationships –> Exclusives.Due to their relationships with the resorts, large travel companies, networks, and travel consortia, travel professionals are able to request exclusives for you, their clients. These exclusives can include: price reductions, seat or resort upgrades, early/late checkout times, and other value-added amenities. A travel agent working with a strong tour operator partner cannot be beaten when it comes to providing the best value vacation. ...read more
