I own a bike shop with 2 locations. Obviously we have a lot of Park tools. They are really the only player in the game that can supply a shop with a complete line of specialty tools, truing stands, repair stands, etc. I think the quality is excellent and the price is reasonable. We also have...

Awesome, thanks! Yes, the sub-panel with 50a GFCI is the disconnect. Code calls for the disconnect to be located no more than 5' and no further than 10' away. Thanks!

I'm in the process of installing a sub-panel disconnect for a hot tub. I will be running #6/3 w/ ground from my 200a main service panel (located in my garage) to the sub-panel disconnect (located outside the garage). I will install a 50a breaker inside the 200a main service panel for the feed...

FWIW - Consumer's Report rated the Hitachi 18v tops in their testing. For the price, it's hard to go wrong.

Knocking the spinners off the wire wheels on your: (MG, Triumph, Ferrari, etc, etc)

I'm not a welding expert (far from it), but I have a Lincoln SP135 w/ gas and re-configured an old workbench into a welding table with no problem. Look on you welder on the inside cover, but from memory the 135 machine will weld up to 5/16" without gas using flux core wire (.035 maybe?)...

No kidding, you can't buy an import piece of **** for $40. Ugly paint and no swivel mean nothing if you need a good, solid vise.

that looks really nice. i'm picking up a 1 year old milwaukee portaband next week from a local craiglist seller.

Mine has a 4" jaw, opens 3-3/4" and has been pounded on, ground on, sanded on, painted on, glued on, etc., etc, for 25 years of homeowner use. But, as I mentioned it will rotate when torqued on, drill a hole, bolt it down and enjoy.

I have (what looks like) a smaller version of that vise, and parts are not available from Wilton. FWIW, mine has a swivel base and it will not hold under a lot of torque. It's a basic single-bolt lock on the swivel with no teeth to engage when locked down so it's prone to moving. But...it's a...

300 Wilton, date stamp 9/46 and still has some original decals, very little use in it's life. Cleaned, greased and sprayed with Boeshield and ready to be used.

Bikes don't count b/c everyone always needs 'just one more'! I just need more time ride mine.

Like old Campy parts:) LOL?

A better question...do you need it at the expense of running water in your home? I'm sure a lot of us have 'stuff' saved for a possible future use, but some things about this situation are just unexplainable, or understandable.

Wait. The OP doesn't have running water and/or working sewer in his HOME?
