M12 stuff is pretty awesome. I have a pretty good mix of M12 and M18 tools. First, you'll be soooo glad to ditch the NiMh and NiCad battery packs. Lithium Ion is just better in every way imaginable. When I upgraded to Milwaukee last year, I gave all of my old Craftsman C3 tools to my dad...

That's da fact, Jack!

I was so busy looking over the piles of junk in the thrift store today that I didn't notice this beauty sitting over in the junk furniture section among some old beat up luggage. My wife gets credit for this one. Picked it up for $7. It's a vintage Kennedy 520 machinist's box. Missing 2 drawer...

Apparently this one is a "Morrill 3 & 4 later design" Last patent seems to be like 1897. I wonder how old this thing is! Seems like a neat old tool to play with. I see there's some videos on them. But I still can't see how this is supposed to do the job it's made to do! Very strange old voodoo...

It works pretty much like pliers, but has a cam lock thing on top. I looked up the patent number and see that it's a "saw setter" whatever that means. On one side is stamped: NOS. 224789 235374 507152 And on the side of one grip is stamped: Morrills Pats Trade (3 weird symbol/proof marks)...

Bought this today at a thrift shop for 2 dollars just because it looks old and interesting. But what the hell is it???

Fenix and Zebra are great, but if you're breaking Streamlights, then I guess not. Surefire 6PL or Surefire G2-LED would be the only options for me of you're breaking all the others.

Yeah it's not an impact rated bit holder for sure. I just took a pick and removed the little spring/c-clip thing so it can't happen again. I don't even know why it was in there in the first place. The magnet holds bits just fine.

Well, I guess I forgot to come back and mention it, but you were right. I put the impact on it, in reverse, while the bit was clamped in the vise, and it came right out. That's the trick!

This would be my only reservation as well. We run a home based business and I know how expensive and difficult overseas shipping can be.

Square hole is kinda what I've learned in the last few days too. Man those are some useful little tools! Not much out there that's as good at carving logs and toes!

I would use mine in the bedroom. *****! :)

****. I think I have a nice Seymour grub hoe. Nothing wrong with that, except that I really want an adze! :) Found plenty of handles though, now that I know what it's for! Thanks!!

Man I forgot about my race cans. Might have to dig those out one day soon. I buy old meta 5 gallonl jerry cans when I find them at flea markets and garage sales. You can get them VERY cheap if there's rust inside. and they are easy as hell to clean out and make like new again.

So I was at the scrapyard about 2 weeks ago and picked up a trunk load of weird stuff. Stuff like an old aluminum outdoor beer sign from a demolished convenience store and a big safety hook/pulley from a crane. The thing I'm working on now is what I believe is an adze. It's in good shape and is...
