    Pretty sure my secret Santa was JASTECH - He got me a very nice Allen 55 piece tool set which includes 1/4in and 3/8 and some bits. He also got me some tie down straps and some very cool No Marr Straps. I will be putting all of this to good use with my bikes. The tool kit is perfect for an...

    My $25 XS400 - Resto and Cafe Build

    Replacement Vice Jaws for Wilton 1645

    I recently restored a Wilton 1645 Vise. Got it for 20 bucks at a barn sale. I need to still replace the jaws and am having trouble finding something cheap. Can anyone reccomend where to get a set? I believe they are 5" jaws. Thanks!

    Task Force 6 Drawer tool Chest

    Im glad someone else has some experience with this box. Im still suprised though that not too many people on here have one - its a pretty good deal. I have a 20% off coupon and a $50 gift card - so I should be able to pick one up for around $100. I'll post an in depth review here to give...
