Hi, all. I am looking for information on a 1-3/4 model 601 INT NuType vise. The one I have is missing the nut on the back of the slide that keeps the ACME screw. Also, the ACME screw was shortened so have a bit of a mystery as to how the nut keeps the screw so when the vise is opened the ACME...

Big Craftsman and vise fan and was lucky enough to find this vise a few years back that scratches both itches. Model 5188 made by Reed with a 1943 date stamp. It retains good deal of its original midnight blue color. It has 5” jaws and for me the perfect size vise. Anything bigger and I can...

Still looking for a Parker 474 housing as pictured. Thanks!

Sweet setup d42. They had a lot of nice things.

Thanks Drives. Many of the ratchets and box were purchased from a couple in Oregon that bought out a guys extensive collection of Plomb tools.

Couple, three Plomb 1/4 ratchets. I love the tear drop design with the long selector switches.

Anyone near Waterford Michigan that is willing to ship something a tool for me? I would pay for your assistance.

I am needing the main body to a Parker 474 double swivel vise. If you have one that you are parting out that is not cracked then I would be interested. Thank you! The pics are what I am looking for.

I picked up this Fisher #4 double screw parallel jaw vise recently and am thriller to own it and put it to use. Fisher & Norris made a great vise, very well built.

Couple of my favs. I’m a fan of the two in vises. Fulton double swivel and a Erie tool works.

Wow. Thank you all for your input. I totally respect the work of a good machinist and know their time and skill is valuable. Like 3bay said, I will appreciate this partial ratchet for what it is for the cost is just too prohibitive. Have a great night.

Should I source a local machine shop to complete a rare Craftsman ratchet or would it be totally cost prohibitive? I have a complete ratchet for comparison and didn’t know with today’s technology if the parts could be scanned in and relatively easy to reproduce? I’ve attached a pick so you can...

Love SK. Thanks Ryan.

Awesome find. Love that barbell looking breaker. Congrats!

Gear Wolf: I will let you borrow the ratchet so you can make the video. I’ve enjoyed the CRHP and look forward to seeing the grand finale.
