My wife saw all the magnetic trays and asked if I had enough. Of course not! You can never have too many of those.
I would always go in and get one when they give them free with any purchase.
I've got a bunch of the small lights they give away as well.

In the hand tool department, HF has gotten better while Craftsman and others have gotten worse, to the point where they’re about the same and HF wins on price and service. So long as a tool has no moving parts, HF is the way to go. Unfortunately.

Get a life...nothin.
That sounds like the absolute COOLEST way to organize something as notorious as vehicle restorations. I'd love to have that ability.
