Anyone have any input on this wrench? It was heavily rusted when I found it in a building about to be demolished. I cleaned it up, but the maker's mark is very faint.

I recently came across an old pair of pliers that were rusty and cruddy beyond belief. I've cleaned them up, but I'm trying to figure out who manufactured them. The stamping is very faint. It's round and had script all the way around the circular pattern. Underneath it says Germany.

So I've been thinking about picking up a set of ratcheting combination wrenches for some time now. I found a set at Menards on Black Friday that looked promising from Gearwrench, but it was a set of both SAE and Metric and aonly a couple of each wrenches. Does anyone make a set that doesn't...

I'd love to have that lower box! Love the Lockheed sticker.

Yep!

I was just given a Craftsman #506 vise. I wanted to strip it and paint it, but I'm honestly not 100% sure how to disassemble it. Any help fellas?

Off topic I know, but how often do jack stands fail?

The others are a 5/8 double square. Yeah the key is nowhere to be found. I didn't know if anyone had any idea as to where to find one for it. They're getting thrown away once I get them off of the truck. It is a 1998 Infiniti QX4 and these are some cheapo aftermarket rims

So I'm trying to remove the wheels from my fiancé's SUV to do the front brake pads but I have no clue what the heck this little house shaped ****** is? Anyone have a link to a tool to remove it? Thanks guys, Matt

Sunrise Red should be a close match

Looks great

Wow. This is too cool!

I can't wait to see it restored!

I think I remember reading that old timers used to do that to hammer handles to improve grip in various conditions.
