I'm in Conshohocken - near Philadelphia. I'll be returning to the sticks at some point in my life. I used to deliver pizzas for Valley Pizza - that was a lot of fun.

Welcome Cappy09. Walnutport?! I grew up in Danielsville but moved after college. Still have a lot of family in the area so I come back often. Great to see so many locals here.

Let me double check the stamps. I find it impossible to believe these are associated with the real NASA.

Hopefully it works now - sorry about that!

I bought a matco tool chest this summer and it wasn't fully cleaned out. there were a bunch of thermometers, magnets, and spanners which were in rough shape. These two tools are stamped "NASA 419" and "NASA 440T" Anyone have any idea what i've got here? Thanks in advance!

Re: For those in the Electrical Trade, - what is considered "Fair" mark-up on Materia I received a total of 3 quotes and his was in the middle and very close to the lowest. I also asked if he would throw in 2 squares of the same shingle for me to do my own porch roof in the fall. He agreed and...

same here. Plus, I'm sorta into both! I do simple car maintenance and a few renovation related tasks in my garage. I've gotten more serious on the car front recently with help from the GJ. A subforum as you propose would help on the other front.

I think I got a pretty good deal on it, less than half the cost of the craftsman you see there which was brand new. Any idea on how I can find out the year? I'm considering calling MAC tools directly. Will post up more pics when I get it cleaned up and lubed.

Picked up the set on the right this weekend. With a little bit of cleaning and greasing I should be set with tool storage. Can anyone tell me what vintage or era? I'm quite curious.
