For years I've had my sockets on these rails. I believe they're OEM'ed by Ullman. In the picture below you can see I have my SAE's on the Red, Black, and grey handled rails for 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 drive respectively. The metrics are on rails with a cad plated finish and a blue handle that has...

I have one of those dog bone wrenches, got it as a gift. I keep it in my truck for quick emergency work. I think it has a place in that role.

I sandblasted it outdoors with 70 grit alox on sawhorses over a large tarp. Grit was collected, screened and reused. The smaller parts I did in my cabinet

Get the rebuild kit from castle equipment company. It has all if the parts that you need and instructions on how to do it. Use a large pipe wrench to take off the end cap and clean everything with mineral spirits. It's a simple cylinder and is a piece of cake to rebuild.

Nope, I'm all good now, thanks.

cdeer001, you get yours finished?

Finished it up tonight. It pumps up all the way, and has no leaks. I'll try it on a car tomorrow, it's too late tonight.

I like it just the way it is.

I was talking to my dad today. Turns out he has a bunch of old drill bits that were my grandfathers and a family friends, so I'm going to pick some up from him when I'm out there in a few weeks. Didn't even think to ask, lol. Either way, I'm going to get that set of Norsemans from Harry...

Yeah, just doing the individual bits at mcmaster carr came out to about 90 bucks, and that wasn't even the complete set. I'll check out that norseman set. I'm going to also hit up the local flea market for some used USA bits to use in my new drill doctor 750x.

Tried to order some from enco 317-7364 - Item must be ordered in multiples of 12. and so on. Every time I go to order something from that place I find something about the deal that pisses me off. I'll check MSC and see if they have any deals too. Was hoping someone just sold a bag of drill...

I have an old drill index that belonged to my grandfather that I'd like to fill with new bits. Does anyone know of some place that sells a set of quality bits from 1/16 to 1/2 without the index? Trying to save a little money and fill up that holder at the same time. I'm just looking for some...

No rust. The inside of it smelled like a wet fart, but it rebuilt just fine.

Thought I'd update this. Sandblasted the parts: Glad to see the bearings are still US made. Putting some paint on. I mixed 16 oz at a time, .5 oz of Japan Drier, 3.5 Oz of Mineral Spirits and filled the rest of the way to 16 oz with paint through a strainer. I usually mix so it...

So, cdeer001, would you mind measuring your overload ball? Just want to verify before I go get one.
