Those look great, and that is also what I am going for. I want a user.

You’re right. Just noticed that. I apologize.

Looks like it cleaned up nice. I have been wondering if I should use something like evaporust or white vinegar. A lot of people use vinegar.

I think the process of cleaning it up and hopefully getting it going again will make it worth it to me, regardless of how much it’s worth.

Here is a few more pictures after I took it apart and wiped it down a little. There is a 4 stamped under the tote.

Picked up this for $10, and thought I would clean it up and hopefully save it. I was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it? Age, quality, etc. Its a no. 5 and says Union on the lever cap.

Maybe I should have went with a different title. I’m looking for tools that you find extremely handy that not everyone on this forum has. Something that maybe somebody hasn’t thought of. I think it’s safe to assume the majority of the people on this forum have the basic tools covered.
