I have a Wizard 3/8 ratchet I got from a garage sale about 2 years ago for 1 dollar. Up until now I have have not heard of anyone knowing about them.

My dad has done it that way for years. I started doing a while ago. Takes some practice to get it right, but a lot better than dust.

I also have the 2 ton HF one. Bought it about four years ago. Pulled a couple of 351 windsors with it as well as a 360 w/ a c4. No problems at all.

Thanks for the input. I was at Lowes today. I like both, but have have had a Delta 10" for 10 years and had no problems with it. Luke

Thanks for the replies guys. I am just interested to hear opinions on these. Th Hitachi has a 5 year warranty. It is just something else to consider. Luke

I am trying to choose between these 2 compound mitre saws: Delta® 12" Compound Laser Miter Saw-267.30 [URL="http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=180361-70-36-322L&lpage=none[/URL] Hitachi 12" Compound Miter Saw with Laser Marker-269.00...

Thanks, I plan on doing that. The guy who originally owned them was a machinist for GE. I just handed him the $6 and went on my way.

Delta 12 in drill press was $60, made in 1993. Columbian and Dunlap vises were $6 for the both. I got them off Craigslist in Phila. Not bad of a deal. Will clean the vises up and paint them. The drill press was barely used by this guy's father.

I got them from my wife for my birthday. They were a great deal. The 3/8 has a bent handle for clearance. For the price can't beat it. They came in a sealed box with a sticker on the side to see if they have been tampered with. Have used them the past couple of weekends, strong enough for...

HF engine stands are fine. I have had a 429 on it for about 6 months. No problem. I have the HF engine hoist. Lifted a 360 with a C4 connected to it, no problem at all. Have used it about ten times in the last three years, maybe I am just lucky.

I have two treadmill decks that I made my bench tops out of. It is a very tough fiber board that has a plastic coating on it. The decks have wax on the outside to keep the belts from sticking on the teadmill. So oil and fluids don't stick. Best they were free at work when we got new decks...

I have been using the HF discs for a couple of years, no problems at all. I wear glasses and a full face shield when I grind or cut, of course.

Does anyone have any experience with these tools? They have a traveling sale coming to my area on Monday. Kind of look like Harbor Freight quality. Have some things I could use, shop stuff. Thanks, Luke
