Even my old cowboy friend knows better than to sell Snap-On or Matco for less than premium prices... and he started out selling mules for a living.

Yeah, this is just something to maybe make a buck or two and keep me busy when I usually sit here and mold, lol. Not looking to set the world on fire.

Low quality, or just no interest?

These are the sockets I purchased from him today... Indestro Super ----------------- 1/2" Drive (1) 3/4" Deep 12 point (3024) Plomb ------- 1/2" Drive (1) 5/8" Deep 12 point (5343) (1) 3/4" Deep 12 point (5345) (1) 13/16 Deep 12 point (5347) (1) 7/8" Deep 12 point (5348) (1) 15/16"...

Alright, so the story is a friend of mine loves to go to auctions and "whittle" down the prices. He's not much of a fan of selling the stuff he buys, he's usually happy doubling his money... which means selling cheap. Recently he stopped the yard sale method of selling and set up in a store...

I don't have the removable jaw, just what is pictured. I can't complain, it was free out of a farmers junk pile. I'll either search for a jaw or figure out something else to do with it.

Has anyone ever come across a vise marked "Marswel S" on the side? It's an odd little duck with a fixed rectangular base, a screw driven vise end, but where it should meet the other jaw it appears there was a way to adjust the vise by moving the jaw. There's also a Hardie hole on the flat...

I'll use this as a thread to post my tools as I come across them and get them collected out of storage. Nothing real fancy here, no snap-on or mac, but I do come across odds and ends once in a while... 1) Wright 1/2" drive six point shallow impact socket, "48", 15MM, date code "89", $3 2)...

Jib cranes and bridge cranes are far preferable, at least to me. I almost lost a friend to a gantry that decided to go dog legging over and dropped it's load. You have to be so careful slinging loads on gantries, if you picking straight up and down, not moving the suspended load, they're fine...

As a kid in the seventies, I remember everyone gathering around a burning stump for lunch on the landing (grew up with loggers). It was no big deal to see a case or two of Rainier beer put away by 7-8 grown men, then everybody went back to logging. This was the era of cable chokers on...

I'm with ddawg16 on this one, contact your local PD and talk to them. I've ran three large low income apartment complexes in the past, you have NO IDEA of the kind of crazy there is out there, but the cops do. With an address and a citizen complaint, they can look into the situation and advise...

That's a heck of a shop stove! If they were burning metal chips, they were probably soaking them in used oil and dumping them in the stove. I don't see any oil tank there that you would use with a drip line to feed a fire. We had a setup like that in my grandfathers logging shop, it had a...

The cost depends on where you are. I live out in the country, I can have a cord of split wood delivered for about $100, all fir or better (no pine). I also collect up pallets during the year, breaking them down and cutting them to length with my chopsaw. They make excellent kindling and I've...

I'd make an effort to save that motor, you'll find that they're quite well made usually.
