    Vaughan soft face hammer, how is the tip retained?

    Press fit, although not the best application you can try to use a vise for installation. I have a 6" bullet and even that struggles. On a related note, in the last week I've purchased one SF12 from Zoro and now two all metal versions from Amazon (fulfilled by Marshalltown Tools). All three...

    Super Long Screwdrivers: What do you got? What uses?

    Stethoscope is a good one. I normally use a long flathead to pry stuff stuck on the bottom of my curbside trash can.

    Crescent Adjustable Wrenches dated 11/19 & 1/20 - Made in USA?

    Was kind of curious about this as well. When I bought 15" and 18" variants from the final NOS Crescent shipment to HJE, the 15" did not have a country of origin stamped (exactly like your 6/8/10"), but the cardstock packaging indicated USA. The 18" was stamped USA. Thought that was a bit weird...

    Craftsman USA Factory - Bad News

    I would consider myself somewhat of a Craftsman collector but not sure the socket sets interest me. Did they create any Ft Worth raised panel wrenches? I'd probably get a set of those just as a piece of history.

    Can I put a snap on masters top and bottom 54x30x71 in the box of my pickup?

    Goldfinger? Is that you? Ha. I've heard of people using U-Haul trailers, but I also like the flatbed idea.

    Malco Eagle Grip pliers

    I'm also confused by the slim jaw, I don't see those listed anywhere on Malco's website or in Malco's marketing materials (was referencing an Eagle Grip catalog on Malco's site). But they're obviously real and sold on Amazon and Zoro, so am I completely missing these somewhere or were these...

    Why cant I post pictures?

    I was able to get this to work per Ole Slewfoot's cropping suggestion above. Weird!

    Why cant I post pictures?

    Can anyone help me on uploading images through the forum's 'insert image' tool? I see the image uploading all the way to 100% and then get an 'Opps! We into some problems' error. Should I just be using an alternative source such as Flickr instead?

    Malco Eagle Grips not dead?

    I'm glad someone brought it up at least, I'm sure many of us are curious. Some of us probably just want to let sleeping dogs lie. Based on Malco's exit write-up, it kind of seemed like we might see an update once '22 concluded. Personally I'm a bit surprised there's not more updates on some of...

    Stair Lighting

    Could add some battery powered stair lights, but agree it's a non-issue for 99% of people upon walk thru

    Industrial Storage Totes?

    If you're familiar with the commercial rigidity of Rubbermaid Brute trash cans, there's also a line of Brute storage containers. Available at Lowe's.

    Looking for some jack stands

    Second for US Jack ones, hands down worth the extra money for an '06 Tundra. I use them on my '07 Sequoia, lifted about 2.5" and need the extra jack stand height. Rebuilt a good majority of my front end trusting my life to these (had other backups, but these were primary on the weight). 1st Gen...

    Malco Eagle Grip pliers

    Very disappointing news. I'm going to take a bit of a different stance here but many forget the amount of anticipatory threads/posts regarding this product coming online, but are quick now to bash it. I'm seeing a lot of price variability referenced, 3x, 4x, 5x, even 6x the cost of a HF pair...
