Would it have a serial number some place hidden ?

I also posted on social media and had people say not a Kennedy but maybe a Huot? Or Park mfg? I'm picking them up this afternoon any ideas as to where to look for the modle number on either one ?

Just won 2 toolboxes on a online auction... one looks to obviously be snap on the other I'm not to sure.... any help is much appreciated as always thanks in advance!!!added this picture as it makes me think mechanics box and not machinist??also picture of drawer slides if it helps

I just would rather it look more original I'm sure the conduit would work as wood any metal pipe

Picked up a "restored" vice only numbers I see are 5-CD and 4-R-2 with PC and a circle after it.... I have two questions one anyone know how to figure out manufacturing date? And two anyone have picture or dimensions on the original handle? As always thank you advance!!!

Great idea!

I hear ya.....but it would end up being my go to for a long straight edge 🤣 some projects maybe more advanced then a shop table

Well I'm back at it again!! tinkering..... weekend plan is to build a table for a catch all in my shop.. so that brings me to my question while at work it dawned on me to bring home a stick of 2"× 1/4"×8 1/2' steel to use as a straight edge to rip plywood so my questions are 1) will it work...

I may very well try that the website and offerings seem great but shipping was more the half the cost of 40 clips

Okay apparently I am unable to handle this on my own and need further assistance from you please!!!!🤣 attached are the style rails I have

Harry Epstein isn't horrible price but shipping on 40 of them is 13$ 😭

Tried google and here appears these clips are made by Vim? My question is...are there any alternative clips available on amazon? I see lots of options but I can't seem to figure out witch ones are compatible with the matco rails and the one link on another thread just comes up sockets thanks in...

Both guaranteed..... I have tied snap on bars in to pretzels the mining industry is hard on everything for big bars 5-6 foot we get them from McMaster Carr now I'm intrigued to what brand they are

Got a great 36 inch tekton pry bar..... then I was in Walmart today and got two more branded as hyper tough made in America!!!! what other quality stuff is obtainable from walmart tool wise ?

Interested in these for actual ringing pliers how do you set the depth to have the ring meet equal? And brand?
