I have acquired a Wilton bullet and am unable to identify it by conventional methods. Visually, I think that it may be the same as one listed on eBay as a model #134 No. 4, link below. No markings anywhere showing a date stamp or any model number. I have checked other threads and wasn’t able to...

It came on this bench that I found in a back shop.

The boss said that I can have this old vise if I want. Best I can tell so far is that it may be a model 134. It has 4.5” jaws, 1/2-13 x 3/4 hex handles and only a “0” stamped on the key. Any help ?

Anyone have a collet type stud installer/remover set that they want to part with ? SO CG515B or Williams 87032 are what I have found, hoping to find a used set at a fair price...

In search of 250-300 sq ft of parquet flooring. Got a quote for custom material at over $11k so now searching for NOS stuff by Bruce or Armstrong. I'm located in Northern California.

I ran across one of these machines today while purchasing a cherry Kennedy cabinet/chest set. Business closing down and it doesn't appear to have been used in the last 5+ years, comes with a full clamp set, pin gauges and a small amount of tooling. They are asking $1k as is with everything in...

We use them regularly on our large drilling rigs. I also spent many years in the motorcycle community, where I've literally seen dozens of rear sprockets work their way free of the wheel that they're supposed to be attached too. These are the only thing that really works. I was always amazed...

I have a TQFR250 and a TQFR250D that were recently sent out to SO service center for inspection/calibration. The TQFR250 was sent back untouched because they do not have a certain bolt that is required. I understand that there are changes made over the life of certain models and that the D...

Bump

LMK what you got.

I didn't take time to read all comments, but please don't cheap out on auto darkening hood. I've had >50 different welders work under me over the years, and the one tool item that I always check and don't allow is a HF (or similar) auto hood. One malfunction is all it takes. Irreparable damage...

I've made several very good deals on OfferUp. The biggest problem there is that they have a deall with USPS and sellers often times take too long to ship and Offerup automatically cancels the transaction.

Re: Sticker/Swag swap 2019 Hey jeepnatv4life you're up, address please.

Re: Sticker/Swag swap 2019 Box is ready to go, message sent to Creationsbysweetness, haven't heard back from him yet. What is the protocol for how long to wait before going to the next participant ?

Re: Sticker/Swag swap 2019 Got the box today. Interesting mix of stuff covering most all forms of auto racing, some custom motorcycle stuff and some Hougan decals (a real surprise !). I will add mine to it and ship it out early next week. Looks like Jim paid $21 for shipping, someone asked...
