Found this cool old IHC adjustable wrench hammer in a “junk bin” of wrenches I paid $2 for. It is pretty well used, marked 2E, caked with grease and rusty. I lightly cleaned and degreased it. It seems like it was chrome at some point. I haven't really found any info about it but I do see other...

Quick update on this machine… I found a stop assembly. She was running a little loud and the quill was not returning. I took it completely apart. Gave it a nice bath in the ultrasonic cleaner. This got rid of all the dried and caked grease and brightened up that gray paint. It free’d up the...

Thank you!

I recently acquired a honest looking Walker Turner 900 series drill press. The previous owner told me he bought it rough and abandoned from an old garage and cleaned/ oiled it. I don’t know much about it, not sure if it is all original or not but it runs as it should and it looks like everything...

Very cool!

I figured they were a build job because of the square heads on the screws

The guy must have been very good. No stampings, there is a pencil line to mark the lower part of the vise, and the screws. Or maybe this is something factory?

Thanks WolfCJ! My old type2 had its top replaced so no dice on the number. I did the magnet test and the threaded rod are steel. This one has larger step with the 4 lines, one scratch guard left, it has the cylindrical bottom feet, handles have the aluminum inside and only the bottom is...

I pulled out a type 4 and another type 2 The recent buy type 2 has steel spindles as compared to my other type 2. It also has plastic washers where the aluminum meets the steel (just like my type 4)

Thanks WolfCJ, It looks like a typical type 2 only the aluminum knob attachment are plastic. There is a “-“ between E and 2 looks like a messy stamp. It has 8 adjustable feet and the aluminum pass through for the threaded spindles. The previous owner hit the table top on one side and one of the...

Saved another type2 $30 at an estate sale. No rust, paint and top are pretty good shape. I couldn’t pass it up.

That came out good and it’s working!

Nice Score !!!

RTM, YouTube and the internet have made things a lot easier for people like us. Roberts210 glad I’m not the only one that thinks so! I added a shot of the worn washer and the new one. Probably 1/8 inch of wear pretty crazy.

I don’t know if it would be considered a tool for some but definitely one of mine. I kinda like fixing old things. I thought I was really smart replacing the controller knob on my washer and the second time it went it hurt to spend another $80 on a new one. I found that sanding the connector...
