I know this is not the right section but I like to think us Q guys are the best of the bunch :). I am looking for a tool box with a lifetime warranty for less than $500 and it only needs to be a small cabinet on wheels. Whats a good air impact wrench as well?

Go with Ingersoll-Rand for your air tools. Best in the business and not too expensive (if you shop online.)

As for tool boxes, as far as I know nobody offers a lifetime warranty.

I own one of these: http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools ... 90320.html

I am a professional automotive technician, and use it every day. It is not the best box on the market, but I've owned it for 3 years and feel it is the best value around. I have all the drawers LOADED and they all roll smoothly. Get it when it's on sale and use a 20% off coupon. I got mine for $375 after WA's 9.5% sales tax.

If not in a rush, best deals are to scour local paper for estate sale.......newly widowed wife selling off dead husbands/fathers garage full of tools....and they rarely know how much money their really worth,they just want them out of there.

Ingersoll-Rand (IR) is said to be the best and made in the USA, Just like Snap-On. They no longer offer the 20% off coupon to tool boxes and compressors among other things. Craftsman Professional, Waterloo And the say Snap-On has a lifetime warranty on their tool boxes.

I have been looking on Craigslist and I think I found one but it may be too big for what I need.

Snap-On may have a lifetime warranty, but good luck finding one under $500...

Thats true!

What about a good small air compressor? it has to be small and portable and have 150 PSI or more output.
