I like the old USA made Klein Tools adjustable wrenches.

You can do just about everything with the wifi thermostats, installation is easy, take a picture of the wire connection before taking off the old one just in case..... Some of the wifi thermostats require 5 wires, if you don't have 5 they come with or you can buy an adapter that will let you use...

That's not a veneer, that's a full brick wall. Wonder what they do about tuck-pointing in the future?

12 divided by 3 = ?

Nice finds, the "...interesting Craftsman screwdriver type tool with a series of three different sized taps taps..." is called a triple tap, Klein still makes them, electricians use them.

Which Rural King?

I have one or two of those somewhere. If you have the instruction manual they usually have a parts list, get the part number for the part you need and call Sears parts (you'd be surprised at what they have) and search online by the part number. If you don't have the manual search for it online.

Never like those ratchets, they seemed fairly strong but too bulky, they do sell okay on ebay.

I've got MAC metric impacts, 3/8" drive that have no skips, the 1/2" drive have several skips in deep and shallow, I filled them in with Armstrong from Cripe Dist. on ebay. I also bought a few extra in the popular sizes for spare, the price was real good when I asked for combined shipping.

Magnet.

It says "Magnetic" right on the handle.

That's not done is it?

I had the same one, I also have a few adjustable USA made wrenches with the same "jaws", those ones were made as oil change wrenches for cars with square head oil drain plug bolts.

Love the trays they come in, wish I could buy just the trays, for the tools I'm sticking with USA made new or used.

Zephyr or Apex, although I thing their longer extensions use pin retention instead of ball.
