Does anyone know if these boxes are dimensionally the same? The only differences I could see are the front trim and roller bearing vs friction slides. I have a chance to buy a KR-647 and I want to add to my KR-557/537 setup. What are these valued at, I know they are hard to come by. It is a '95...

A guy a my work had a great idea for using a power seat. Find an old 12V cordless drill with good battery and charger, cut off the drill handle and wire into the battery terminals. Mount the handle under the chair to act as the battery receiver. Then you would have a quick release battery pack...

machine_punk one of the main reasons I chose this seat was because all the adjustments are manually controlled.

Its a sport seat from an E36 BMW.

Sale at the junkyard + uncomfortable old desk chair = new desk chair. Yes, I am using this at my desk at work. I've gotten quite a few comments.

Well I just answered my own question, it's a KC-502 "Apprentice Tool Box". I actually picked up 2 of them plus an old hex key set and machinists square. http://www.collectingsnapon.com/catalogs/catalogs.php?loggedin=0&catalogPage=2394

Can anyone ID this small box? It looks to be a machinist type box to me. I can't find a marking on the back anywhere.

Just buy Williams for 1/3 of the price, they are the same sockets.

Bosch IWHT180 and Williams MS-14-16RC 1/2" metric deep impact socket set. I am confident in saying that these Williams sockets are identical to Snap-On. The diameter, length, broaching depth etc all measure within a few thou of each other.

Took a while but I finally finished this box. I think it came out pretty good considering how banged up it was. I replaced the handle with a new one from Mcmaster-Carr. I painted it with single stage urethane. I went with RAL 3000 "Flame Red" which is a pretty good match to Snap On red.

I just picked up a barely used DEG-500-D for $50, seems like a really nice grinder. It is made in Germany. Does anyone know if this is their own design or is it made for them by another manufacturer?

Possible pass here, I saw these in my local store last week marked down to $65, looks exactly like the old HF Earthquake gun, just a different colour boot. Box said 620 ft-lbs loosening torque and made in Taiwan...

So I was trying out the HTH181 pin anvil version in the store today. It has a chamfer on the leading edge of the pin so you can slide the socket on easily, but you still need to push the pin down to remove it. It looks as if you could knock out the roll pin that retains the socket pin, then...

My dad has a Honda HS55, must be 25 years old. Starts on the first pull every time.

The USA stuff is a pretty good deal, just hit or miss of it being in stock or not. For example this set is about 1/3 the price of SO. http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001DNVDNG/?tag=atomicindus04-20
