Thanks 1982fxr for the confirmation. It looked right, measured right, weighed right….just no designation.

A quick question about identifying a Wilton C3 vise. I purchased this vise today which appears to have all the elements of a C3 without having a C3 casting mark on the static jaw. The only markings I found on quick examination were (1) 10103 above where I would expect the C3 mark; and (2) a...

Not much on Ralmike's tools, so I thought I'd post my new acquisiton. I think Ralmike's re-badged many of their tools, so if anyone has any information on this vise please pass it along. Thanks Jaw's are 3 3/4 wide Max opening 4 1/4 63 lbs

I'll echo goldie lox. Park tools are excellent, never needed any service from the company because they have never broken.

All, I am trying to complete a partial Duro-Chrome SAE combination wrench set. Currently I am after: Long length wrench 33xx series except 3334, 3326, 3318, and 3316 Short(?) length wrench 22xxS series except 2237S, 2236S, 2235S, 2233S, 2231S and 2228S I could go ebay, but prefer to send my...

A "What is the best way to do it?" question. I need to attach a 5/8 thick wood board flat against an existing lath and plaster wall. I am thinking about installing adjustable wire shelving (the kind with the vertical metal rails with lots of little slots) into an existing closet that has a...

Eyeball, Regarding the label printing - I haven't completely solved that issue yet. Some quick discussions with local printing outfits have indicated that printing onto a plastic sheet with a sticky back is possible. Currently I have an label photo to work with, but I'll have to play around to...

All, Thanks for the help - question answered. The British Standard and the Whitworth make sense given the wrench owner had a few British cars. J

Conductor562, No soap!, the beam measures 11/16 wide and 1/4 thick. I find it mystifying that the wrench has no obvious markings as to its 13/16 size - only if you know that 1216 is the model number do you know the size - not too user friendly. J

Conductor562, Apologies for the poor image. From left to right the marking read as follows: 1/2BS - 7/16W 1216-BS PROTO(R) MFG. U.S.A. J

I came across a set of these Proto wrenches with unfamiliar markings. The wrenches are combinations (open on one end and box on the other, the same size on both ends), but I don't know how to read the markings. The wrench in the picture measures out as a 13/16 on both ends. Any help on the...

Just picked up a 1/2 hp block grinder (397.19591), so now I can join the club. Its a bit beat up and I'd like to do a restore with a new label. Does anyone have a good high res. jpg or pdf of the label? I gave a quick search, but I might have missed it. Thanks. J

What are the opinions of using a Foley Belsaw model 1055 as a light to mid-duty grinder? I believe it has a 4" wheel and a larger 8" wheel coupled to a 1/2 hp 6.2 amp motor? I don't know the arbor size, or if I can mount wheels of other sizes. There seems to be one available for $100. Or...
