All you guys dumping on Craftsman screwdrivers-just wait a few years, when I sell this for megabucks on ebay, and build my dream garage with the proceeds....You'll beeeee sorryyyyyyyyyyy...

I have one just like that! no markings on it that I can see. I put a new cartridge of grease in it yesterday. I had been wanting a grease gun for my boat and other stuff at my cottage, and went to Oreillys-I looked at the "Made in India" Lincoln, and decided to see if I could get that old one...

That's too bad-but he still had a whole bunch of other NOS S-K stuff, and a whole store full of other interesting stuff. Did you find anything else there?

That S-K display I posted has a price tag of $193.45 on it. I saw it at the "Tool Shop" in Westland, Mi. They have a website, if you are interested. I've bought a ton of tools at that place, and sold a few,too.

I mainly use SAE, with two Model As, a Model T, a Farmall Cub, a '46 Willys,.....etc,etc. Yeah, I have a wall of SAE stuff that I can grab as needed. I'm not a total primitive-my old Honda,Yamaha, and Hodaka motorcycles need my Metric stuff,too.

This display is not mine-it's for sale at a local used tool store. Ain't it pretty,though?

Two "J C Penney" Ratchet wrenches I picked up today. They are marked "Forged in USA" . They look like S-K to me?

Nothing like being 20' up in a JLG basket with a pair of cast-iron 48" pipe wrenches and something that won't break loose.....

When the auto plant I worked in was closed, it was full of tool boxes and work benches, all with a vise on them-sometimes a vise and a pipe vise,too. There were hundreds of them-maybe thousands. The scrap guys got it all when the plant was torn down. Who knows what happened to all those vises.

I generally buy it in gallon cans at Lowes

Just use Trufuel in everything-that will solve your problems with bad gas. It may be expensive, but at least whatever yard tool i want to use starts right up with no drama.

I just ordered the recip saw, and I'll pick up the battery at a local store. I'd been wanting a cordless saw, and the big free battery sealed the deal for me.

I just picked up a 1/2" Dewalt 20v drill driver with two batteries for $99 at Lowes.

Sometimes it's the only thing that will work in a certain application-that's why I have them.

Here's another, with the rawhide rolls still (more or less) present in the hammer heads.
