Rustoleum Sunrise Red was the color I used.

Thanks PelicanPines, like I said I was just copying everyone else's ideas but I appreciate the compliment. I plugged in two USB wall warts; a 2.4 (for the speaker) and a 5 for the phone. There is also a charger for my cordless drill batteries that I have sitting on the bottom tray, you can see...

I finally got my cart for Christmas after stalking this thread for a while. All these ideas were lifted from this thread, I take no credit. On the lid I arranged magnet bars in a pyramid shape to allow my ratcheting wrenches a place to rest (heavy at the bottom). Note that letting the lid slam...

Nice man, that'll be a bit of extra cheese this Christmas for y'all! Ok, the rest of y'all. Anyone with a broken one (or something similar), I need your lever-throttle (the top paddle thing). Thanks!

before you scrap it, send it my way, I'll pay shipping. Looks like you could get ~$60 on ebay for it though...

Chicago Pneumatic responded: "The tool is in fact an old CP720 "butterfly" impact wrench. It has been obsolete for 25 years or more." Question now becomes: Is this one of the 'good' CP products or the bad ones? Does anyone know of a place I could get a diagram of the butterfly handle so I...

I don't know much about this at all, but I'm hoping to be able to restore it. The butterfly trigger is snapped off and it looks generally abused. I'm hoping that someone can give me the vintage, maybe model (hopefully) and a way to source a new butterfly trigger. I'm totally unfamiliar with...

I'm very interested. Did you ever wrap it up? Do you know what colors would the original Monarchs were painted?

Wow, looks like they measured the jaws wrong. That vise is 103 years old! Thanks CW!

Thanks! I've been liking it here. As far as the info I'm seeking - anything any one can tell me, really. When my Google-fu fails me (which is very rare) I assume I've found an ancient relic or proof of aliens. Google not turning up info on a vise this big and clearly labeled has me VERY curious...

Parker No. 279? My dad just picked up a vise and I can't find anything about this model. Can anyone tell me anything about this vise? I've uploaded pics and added them to an imgur album as well: http://imgur.com/a/cgBzh Thanks Text on the vise: C PARKER CO MERIDEN CT USA SEMI STEEL SOLID...

Plan was to clean it up and use it until something better comes along. The vise I have now is new Chinese junk and I loathe using it. Is this at least a USA made one? He'll take $30 for it, but I think that may still be too much.

Found another vise on craigslist. Looks like the jaws are a bit marred, I asked him about it and he said it was superficial. I read the 'Everything you need to know' thread and it said that only the Columbians with T-shaped jaws and pins are worth it; this looks to have screws holding the...

Sorry guys, I stopped getting notifications of replies for some reason :( I've decided against it, exmaxima1's keen eye on the missing swivel did it for me. I didn't get the feeling the guy was ready to bargain. I'm planning on getting a vise and dropping it in my electrolysis bath (I refurbish...
