Well, I picked up this 1994 SO 657/637 combo for $900 a few months ago. I upgraded from a 56" Masterforce rollaway which now sits in my home garage, both are full of coarse, this one is just easier to roll around our quarter million square foot plant. I really like the quality of this one...

Hello, I have for sale a Futaba Pulscale CJ3004. It works, however the resolution is off. This unit is well used and some buttons are unreadable. I would suggust this as a parts unit. The encoders seem to work fine, I would imagine the resolution problem is in the headunit. Any questions...

Mechanic is a broad term. Im an Industrial Mechanic (Millwright to some people), so I may be wrenching one minute, tuning an engine a on forklift the next, machining a part on the lathe or mill the next, welding or fabricating pipe or a conveyor the next, all requiring different tools. A tape...

I work on machines. I use 3/8" drive the most and have little issues. I did break the drive off my 3/8" Snap-On ratchet with a 3/4" socket, but I put a lot of snot on it and was definitely the wrong tool for the job. As a mechanic, it is up to me to determine the best drive size for the...

Kroil is very good stuff, but like anything there is always something better. I have never used a better product than a torch and candle wax. After that its Swepco 808, then Northwoods Breakaway, then Corrosion X, then Kroil. I use NW breakaway and PB at work. Breakaway is non flammable and...

That is very nice! I had a set like that, it was in the military and most of it was SK. The case was cracked unfortunately, but I got it for free and ended up giving the tools to my dad. If I ever come across another like that again Ill be in pig heaven.

I would put that at $10-$15,000 tops.

Thats a kick *** box. Proto is very well known, at least in industry it is.

Flea Market Vintage Indestro Super. $6 fully broken in. I use the SNOT out of mine, never an issue.

Around here there are several Snap-On drivers in the area. The one I have always dealt with has always been very good. Ive heard not so good things about another driver a half hour away. There was a MAC guy, older guy, very nice, not pushy, but he retired and I havent seen a MAC truck in 3...

I know I have mentioned it before. The best stuff I have used is Northwoods Breakaway and Swepco 808 for fairly instant results. The 808 is great with some heat, while the Breakaway is a more versatile product and dissipates, much like WD-40 or LPS-1. LPS products are great industrial...

With knurled handle Id go SK or PROTO!

PB doesnt bother me. ATF/acetone is something Ive tried lately...it does work. Vinegar works on everything, awesome stuff.

I second a die grinder and bit. Sometimes a punch can get it to move. Could use an annular cutter and then install an insert.

Ive wanted to try those. Regular Mechanix gloves dont last for me, even though I like how they feel. The best gloves I have used have been plain leather ones by Duluth Trading Co. I have some light padded welding gloves by Hobart that are very good at the $5 sale price I paid.
