    Usefulness of universals?

    From manifold to engine mount to transmission bell nuts/bolts I find them indispensable.

    Questions for wire crimpers / strippers

    What do You guys think about the Hozan or Hero crimpers easternbeaver sells? I've been thinking about upgrading to one of the cheaper ones next time I order R/R connectors.(http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Elec__Products/Tools/tools.html)

    who made this old Craftsman 5.5" vise?

    Thanks again for all the great info on this forum. I wanted to share the Made in USA Craftsman 5 1/2 I just picked up, looks like a Columbian-made, 51871 on the side. It's in good shape, doesn't look like it was used much actually, and looks like a decent mechanic's vise for a limited work...

    Everything you need to know about bench vises...

    Aah, I figured as much with the hollow anvil area and falling apart handle..the jaws and screw do look pretty beefy, and It sure looks old and beat up. When did they start importing cheap far-east vise? Haha, yeah they are asking waay too much, thing's not gold plated.:lol:
