    Where to find Lever Retaining Ring for Craftsman Ratchet

    I'm also in need of a lever retaining ring for a Craftsman 44985 1/2" drive ratchet. If anyone has a spare one I will PayPal postage. I just can't justify buying a $20.00 repair kit for a $15.00 ratchet and I would hate to throw the ratchet out. Thanks!

    how Hard is it to solder copper tubes

    I learned today in another thread here that MAPP gas no longer exists since the last plant making it in the USA closed (in 2008 according to the other thread.)

    MAP and Propane torch question

    Thanks for the tip. There's always something new to learn. I spent a couple of hours under my truck yesterday taking off the old exhaust system. My Bernzomatic/fake MAPP gas torch just wasn't hot enough and I broke a manifold stud so I was Googling around looking for a hotter torch. Also...

    Ultra Yellow KRL761 Craig's List buy

    It's not in the best spot for photography right now but here's one. The bottom right hand front corner was pushed in so I removed the aluminum trim for a little bodywork and paint. Bottom front edge also had some rust. Here's a small hack - for touch-up paint Rustoleum Gloss Sunburst Yellow...

    Ultra Yellow KRL761 Craig's List buy

    Of course, that makes sense. There is one narrow drawer with a sliding cover which the PO told me was for a writing surface. Thank you!!!

    Ultra Yellow KRL761 Craig's List buy

    Hello folks, I signed up to research my new-to-me Ultra Yellow KRL761 and have already learned a lot. I had no idea how old it was when I bought it but now know the KRL761 was discontinued in early 2007. My KRL761 is the later one, the single lock version. It's square, slides are good, now...
