    Lincoln jack issues

    Hi, I have a Lincoln 1.5 ton floor jack that’s giving me problems. When you jack it up under a vehicle, I can see the vehicle lifting every pump of the handle, but instead of the vehicle lifting all the way on each pump, it lowers back about 1/2 of the pump. It’s like the oil is lifting but...

    Wilton Tradesman Taiwan model

    Has anyone recently purchased a new Wilton tradesman? I have a USA version from 2011 and went to buy another only to be disappointed to see they are now Taiwan made. Are they comparable to the USA model or are they sub par? I bought my 1780 brand new for $375 in 2011 and wow has the price went...

    Reed Vice Mess, how to fix?

    I purchased a Reed R series 104 1/2 vice at an auction sight unseen. Jaws and casting looked great so I thought it would be a good vice. Got it home and I’m shocked at what I found. Someone apparently broke the screw and replaced it with threaded rod! I’m shocked at this point that anyone would...

    Old Rockwell 17-600 drill press

    Well I installed a new belt today and it didn’t change much. But then I realized that the belt was running way too loose and was not running deep enough in the motor shive so I tightened it up really good and now I got the speed down to 320 rpm! Now I got to find a vice! Anyone use a milling...

    Old Rockwell 17-600 drill press

    Hi, I recently purchased a 17-600 Rockwell with the variable speed. It has one belt that’s just over an inch wide and the variable shives not the step pulleys. My problem is that it spins way too fast. It has the 1725 rpm single phase motor on it. The slowest it will spin is 775 rpm and that’s...

    Snap On 1/4 general service set case

    I'm trying to locate a general service set case for my snap on 1/4 drive set, and I'm not having much luck. PB99A is the part number I think, but I can't locate on the snap on site. 144TMPB is the set I have, with a case that was ran over by a combine last week(ugh!). Thanks

    Home Depot Clearance Thread 2015

    I see all the great Home Depot deals that everyone is getting, can anyone share how it's done? I stay next to a HD for work several days a week, but I never find these great deals. How do you know what items are on sale for 1 cent, and do you ring them up at the self checkout or have a clerk do...

    which mower jack or...?

    My exmark has a trailer jack on the front, flip it down and crank it up. Easy to work around as well, and very stable.
