Snap on #71N ratchet. Works fine Lufkin Folding Ruler and Level/Square Craftsman Auto Screwdriver. All are in good, working condition. the level/square has a couple spots of paint on it. Snap on ground off the ratchet for some reason. I just want to get these into the hands of someone...

I had my suspicions because of the Kenosha connection, but looking at the patent info, I saw the design and patent for this wrench, designed by Louis Hummel for the Snap On Tool company. It's an old snappy, I believe.

Found this 1/2" ratchet amongst my grandpa's stuff. For some reason the name has been ground off both sides of the ratchet. I'll try to get pics up, but I checked the pattent number and it is from 1930- Hummel tools. It is a made in the USA in Kenosha Wisconsin. Anybody know anything about...

Thank you for all the input guys, especially poltax. I will be taping first, then insulating before the final skim coats.

The title says it all. I've searched and have seen people talk about both. I'm going to be blowing in insulation and have 2x4 rafters. I've heard some people say to have everything done to eliminate the dust. I've also heard if you insulate after tape and mud, you'll get cracks in the...

I'll be honest, I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't know how light that unit is. I'm 6'7 and could probably bench the thing! I'm not a pu$$y or uncreative, I just have the nasty habit of biting off more than I can chew. I live out in the sticks so help is pretty limited. Therefore, I...

I did a couple of searches, but came up empty. Goofy question, but I'm planning on picking up a Husky Pro 60 Gal compressor and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to get it home... I have a pickup with a 6' bed, but no lift or anything of that sort. Any suggestions????? Mike

I had to buy a new gas can and had to buy one of these. I really don't mind them. I slightly modified mine. It works really well. However, I don't trust the seal as much as much as a screw-on top, especially for fumes. I wouldn't keep one hanging around the garage.

Any Updates?? I inherited my grandfather's Athol Swivel-base and I'm eager to see how it turns out once restored!! Mike

Do what you want, it's your property, right? I wish things were that simple. Most townships will refuse a variance even if there is one dissenting opinion. Remember, you're asking to essentially break their rules. There is no benefit to the township or the court to rule in your favor. I've...

Yes, I'm talking about the ceiling. However, I don't know how to block off the soffit vents. With the way the trusses come together at the corners, I'm not sure I could block them off. Mike

Let me first say, I'm being cheap here. I'm trying to finish up my garage on a very limited budget. I live in northern Illinois and have a 22x25 garage. The walls were insulated by a previous owner with R13. The ceiling is open. The trusses are short and 2x4 material, so I'm only going to...

Thanks for all the insight here... After looking at them both, I picked up the black 4 drawer cart. It will address my needs well. I found that the red 5 drawer cart is definately a bit nicer and build a little stronger. I'm setting mine up with a bunch my sockets and wrenches and common...

The 1/2 drive trays are 3 5/8" tall. Mike
