Interesting, I didn't get from the picture that the claw part could still pull nails. Any chance it is a collector item worth $500 ? That's the asking price on Facebook.

Saw this on Facebook. Usually when I see a tool I don't recognize I search for it here and don't need to post. Searched for Solomon Anderson 1845 and Excalibur 4 which was in the description but didn't find anything. I can't imagine what the curved back is for?

Seems every time I get to reading this forum I spot something on marketplace I wouldn't have known I wanted. LOL Almost drove 200 miles to buy this vise, can anyone verify what it is. From the one picture it appeared to have pipe jaws, was there even an 8 inch version of the C series? The anvil...

I've got that tool creeper, works great to prevent lost nuts and bolts.

Wow, brand new, time it went to work!

Got this today off FB Marketplace. I've seen quite a few of the Wilton and Snap On 1755's in this thread with prices all over the place. I wanted it to upgrade from my 5 inch Shop King which has a lot of sentimental value (It was my Grandads) but doesn't stay clamped and the swivel slips when...

Found this 1/2 hp 397.19340 on FB Marketplace. It was the old industrial cast iron stand that caught my attention. Can anyone recognize it? This is the way things go, I had just started the restoration on a 397.19340 I already had, even ordered and received a new label from MattBlast for it...

Found on FB Marketplace. Despite already having three 1/3 HP and one 1/2 HP block grinders waiting to be restored. I couldn't resist another 1/2 horse because of the stand. The stand is a very old and heavy cast iron pedestal stand for something. The 397.19340 grinder is attached nicely with...

I learned about that one from an earlier Garage Journal topic. It works great and having two means I can use the cheaper paper towels for routine tasks and save the more expensive blue shop towels for when they are needed.

Thanks @Private Lugnutz very educational!

Thanks, so the original license from Blackhawk expired, but was renewed in 1928 and then again later (no date?) on the socket @d42jeep posted? The model LDH-422-A socket is still available new on the Snap-on website ($79) so at some point the Blackhawk license didn't need to be renewed? And...

Among some 3/4 drive sockets I picked up is this older Snap-on LDH-422-A 1-5/16 inch 12 point. Noticed the Lic-Reissue text and couldn't anything about it. Was it a patent or trademark renewal? Thanks for any info.

I browse the Kickstarter campaigns and have backed (bought) a few items over the years. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not. But it's entertaining to me to see what people are trying to do and how they pitch it. http://kck.st/3fApr8C It's basically $500, if you aren't familiar with how...
