When I first started working in my Father's shop he bought an Allen set on a rack that had casters. It included the meter shown with ammeter and voltmeter. The other half of the set had a cam angle meter and a tachometer. I wish I still had them as times. When he retired and I went to Alaska for...

Wow! This website has caused me to look at my older tools I still use. I have a Blackhawk MC-9 cherry picker and two different sizes of Blackhawk stands; one size for trucks and the other for cars. I also have some Bishman Stands, and all of them have a wide base, nothing like the widow-maker...

I will do that soon along with some pictures of my collection of drill indexes. Every time I start looking at old tools on here, I see another one I have in my shop. I have a lot of old tools that I never think about them being vintage because I still use them. I will post some of them soon as...

I have the same Blackhawk cart with the arbor press and most of the attachments including the punch pin and C-clamp. Most of my extension tubes have bad threads and I would like to find some better ones?

Does a Blackhawk PortaPower with the original roller cart that has an arbor press on one end count? I also have the C-clamp that you put the 10 ton ram in to make the strongest C clamp I know of. I have the chain attachments, the offset ends and the punch that goes with the C-clamp. I have...

It looks like it is in the local landfill! :) I have the exact same tool box in my shop. It was my Father's tool box for as long as I can remember. He probably bought it is Shawnee, Oklahoma in the 30's or 40's

I am a little late to the party, but that is a Snap-On armature lathe. The part you crank has a boss sticking out the back side to put it in a vise. There is an adjustment for the tool bit to true the commutator. I always put the armature in a drill press and used crocus cloth after cleaning the...

I use one of those Amazon pumps to pump gas from a NATO can. It is better than siphoning shaker hoses. I tried to use one of them for motor oil and it would have taken an hour to pump a quart. I recently bought a nice hand pump from Vevor that will transfer oil. I haven't tried it on anything...

I would remove the belt and replace everything under it!
