    Sears Destroying With-In

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, you screwed up. Who carelessly types in and submits the wrong address? Second, you didn't order from sears. You ordered from Eastwood company. No wonder why when you called them they were able to fix...

    Sears Destroying With-In

    It always pays to go direct to the source...or in that old saying.."direct to the horse's mouth." I called Eastwood Company who would be shipping the item ordered. I had forgotten I had account with Eastwood some years ago, and the nice lady...American style..informed me she would correct my...

    Sears Destroying With-In

    It may get worse before it gets better. Just received another email that Sears has reinstated my original order. WAIT!. Just re-read the email, it shows Sears has entered another order...same item but a "different" order number. Which appears I may get one or two of the same item. Still...

    Japan renamed town 'Usa' so it could legitimately stamp its exports 'Made in USA'

    Gentlemen, Got some "old" news. There is a town in Japan named USA. I spent several hours there back in 1951. At least there was a town..USA during the Korean war. There was at least five factories....we would call them "small shops" the **** had. They made ZIPPO, Ronson, and Lord Elgin...

    Air Compressor leak-down

    My 1993 Sears 4 Hp 25 gal. Air Compressor has always had the leak-down. By that I mean, when I used the compressor and leave it with 120 lbs. of air the compressor goes back to "zero" lbs. within 10 hours or so. Does most air compressors have a natural leak-down to them? I'm not really overly...

    Air Nibbler Brands

    I'm seriously looking into buying a air nibbler at a good price...not one of those dudes that destroys the saving account. However, one that is average priced and really works for the money. There's several hundred brands listed on ebay and elsewhere, and I cannot find where anyone gives any...

    Replacing '96 Tahoe Intake Manifold Gasket

    Most would think it would require removing the power steering plump assembly to get to the front manifold bolts. There are 4 bolts on the P/S bracket that one must remove and nut on a bolt that needs to the looseing. Doing this, you can slide the P/S pump and A/C bracket out about 1-1/2" as...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Catalyze, that is one fine paint job you have done. I'm always glad at one who will take an old "ugly" item and relieve it of it's old paint and such and turn it back into a new looking product...such as you have done. Most people just use or stow them on a workbench and let the dust collect.
