In Topic: Wood tool box

04 June 2015 - 06:17 AM

 

I bought one of the Harbor Freight Tool Chests a while back.  I think I like their drawer arrangement a little better, and I think the wood is a bit more attractive than on the Costco item. However, I haven't really compared them, and I think I paid a bit more for my chest, so the Costco chest does look like a good buy.

 

Allan, I just have to say, it isn't much comparison - the Costco is much better construction, somewhat in inverse proportion to the price difference. I'm quite pleased with my purchase.

 

BTW: there was a hilarious thing go down today over at FPG. This Costco box had been shown over there a couple weeks ago, and today a guy put up two separate threads for "pen boxes". What he had was one Harbor Freight, one Costco, and he had put pen trays in the bottom drawers. He showed pics with ink bottles in other places, even had a drawer with rings in it (as in jewelry). After going through all the trouble to cut two pen trays to fit, he was now offering each of these boxes at the low, low price of ... $400.00!

 

GTFO, I say.

 

 

Yea I just saw that over there... pretty sad to say the least.

 

Ill be at CostCo Friday to pick one up ;)

In Topic: Scented inks, anyone?

18 March 2015 - 05:35 AM

The only one I have tried is a bottle of Love You by Mont Blanc. The scent is strong but it to dissipates quickly. Flow is fine though I have it in a 1.1 stub that flows well so it could be a drier ink I would not really notice it. I bought it when I was in Dromgoole's in Houston back in November simply because he had a few bottles left and I had never seen them for sale before. It went outdated in November of 2012, not that really matters but it does show how old it is.
