Been out of the game for a while but hit up a local estate sale that looked promising. 4” adjustable crescent wrench , CM torx set and a SK spark plug socket was all that took my fancy since I wasn’t the first to get there. Asked the man in charge how much ? Nothing like a $1 deal to get you...

Nope jaws were just cleaned up some and oiled with blo / must be the lighting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure here’s some pictures- I never took any of the cap while working it tho. It was a standard wire fence cap from HD I believe 2”diameter. I cut it down below the rib and used a belt sander to get rid of the rib and tapper the end to be able to fit into the vises end hole. My vise had some...

Yeah someone tried to dismantle it with an old screw driver is my guess. I picked it up off Facebook I think like it was pictured. It’s already got some wear marks/chips from use one of the reasons I was gonna do a rusty paint scheme on it but it didn’t work out. Sent from my iPhone using...

Took awhile ( to post up as well) but I turned around an old Wilton with the help of this thread. Replaced the pins holding the nut(1/4 round stock), made a new end cap out of the fence post cap and new modified lag bolts for the base. Bolted to its work bench with a rubber gasket. Original...

So what’s the plan for the badge ? ��

Not too many tool favorable Estate sales round me lately. A few weeks ago I was at one that had stuff in the garage at least- I asked how much for an unmarked smalls storage cabinet lady says five bucks, ok I’ll take that considering it’s got hardware in it as well - found a lil CM screw...

Happy Father’s Day everyone.

This weekend I headed out to a couple of garage sales to get some “kids ****” as someone put it as a dad I now actually search for some of these sales as the picker in me is always out for a deal. One posted on Craigslist had a picture of a massive plastic play set - just what we had been...

Going back a few weeks for me / first real tool type auction I’ve seen. It was a cluster - wish I had of skipped it but there were after a couple of select items I was after( nice vintage SO tool chest and top box & a Torin 2T cherry picker). Well prices were going very high even for the junk...

This is the piece disassembled. There is a corner of the edge of the sleeve that has been shaved but that doesn’t relieve the other pass through hole and I don’t see it’s purpose. The sleeve will spin and is round on the OD the whole way. This pic is the other end. The other short sleeve with...

Just tried this and it does rotate like a sleeve inside but no indentation to allow the arm to fit through.

Thanks for all the reply’s and I get that but I really just want to know how the arm with the c clamp end attaches to the indicator seems like it should go in the hole but it doesn’t fit. I did look at some magnetic bases from HF today and might give one a shot.

Whole set.

That set above is a little different As it looks like it has an extra long square piece for the arm/stem to screw into but shouldn’t matter. No the stem is perfectly round and fits into the hole until it hits the intrusion of the screw piece. One of the pictures above shows is going through and...
