thanks for the updates. when i was out there in 2010 with old neighborhood friends from parkway pines and brick, we couldnt find the zeppole, used to be right in front when you came in by the slot car track. didnt think to go around corner to see what happened to the old Roadhouse. that was...

i used to pick up cheap tools at Collingwood back in late 60's early 70's when i couldnt afford the tool truck stuff. got decent clothes and always had to get some greasy zeppole from the place in the very front of the building. was in NJ for a visit in 2010 and stopped in. place not like it...

i left one on the rear bumper of my service truck. was in a slow speed zone in town and heard something fall. looked in mirror and saw it in the road. pulled over, started to run to get it, car comes along, wont wait for me and hits it dead center. leather case and everything busted all to...

Kohler, Onan gensets maybe? i spent 25 years in the industry starting in the 1960's before i gave up and did a mid life career change. i got a couple Flukes back in the early 80's but much preferred my trusty old Simpson 260. used the Flukes mainly doing startups on new equipment when...

i get AC Delco at Gabe's. they ok for clocks and TV remotes

whatever you win, would you share with me? recently i decided to hunt down a few pieces missing from my 50-60 year old "economy" socket sets and paid more for one little socket than i did for the whole set! i did seriously think i should get my head examined as i sure as hell didnt need to get...

its the same company.

maybe you saw its catalogues under the name Warshawsky's. same company, same junk. the store in Chicago was called JC Whitney on one street entrance and Warshawsy's on the opposite entrance.

Midas muffler in Stow, OH uses that muffler ****.

i am in need of a Triangle era Herbrand socket. it is a 1/4 inch drive, 1/2 inch 6 point std socket. it looks to be part number 20616 as far as i can tell. missing from a set number 01213. i use paypal. thanks in advance.

dont know how accurate it is but i recently read something that the Vulcan name was bought by tractor supply who ended up killing it. i have recently seen some tools on Ebay named Vulcan but the design of the "V" is not the same as the original. my very first torque wrench was of all things...

Vulcan tools. never heard of them until a guy i worked with around '71 had a massive set cabinets and all. every last one of them were virtually identical to snap on. i got a ***** just looking at them. i moved on and never saw another again or heard more about them. even had some Williams...

i agree that tools are an investment. now you sure as hell cant go spend a ton of money on some today then go and try to sell them off tommorow at a hefty profit but years down the road as they age, gain experience and even become "rare", they can command a formidable price. most of mine date...

you may be right. since the store is on my way to my local Hyundai dealer, i just might have to give it a look see. the local WallyWorld has some decent quality DIY tools too, Hart and even some of its private brand, Hypertough seems to be good and not all is imported. i picked up a Hypertough...
