    Yes I do! I forgot about that. I snapped my offset screwdriver last night but I did get a ratcheting one for some car audio stuff years ago!

    I have no idea how to get that screw out. Its nearly impossible to get a screwdriver in that space.

    I never saw a cotter pin just this retainer plate held in with a machine screw. I can unscrew it to the point the operating handle will spin free. Am I missing something or is there somewhere else I should look on this thing. BTW would any of you be able to date this thing by the marking on it?

    I also need to figure out how to get the screw out. There is what appears to be a retainer plate that holds it in place with a flat head and I have NO idea how they got a screw driver in there to tighten the damn thing.

    Howdy everyone! I just bought a house a few months back and I am in dire need of tool storage. I did some research here into the harbor freight 44" tool chest bench builds and got inspired! I am in the process of designing the bench as well as the rest of the house in solidworks. So Far the...
