    Vintage Reed Vises?

    I think there are some pretty good explanations of Reed vises over the years. Seems the transition between R and no R was a long one. One Youtuber explained that the nut on the R was forged if it had the Hockey puck style screw. With the meatball lead screw some R series lead screw nuts were...

    Forward 10,000 lb Lift Wiring

    Personally No I would not at this distance. I just like the fact that the OP considered that it may be an issue. Attention to detail. In my shop my service wires travel about 150+ feet to my Main panel then another 100 feet to my sub panel in my shop. Big loads in my shop suffer from a...

    Forward 10,000 lb Lift Wiring

    3-wire 240V conversion - ground to water pipe?

    The Official Reedsman thread. Reed made craftsman’s

    I just picked this one up this weekend. 4.5" jaws and a smooth operator. Check out the stand it came with. I wonder what the maker was using this for? The guy who I bought it from was gifted it from the PO. I put a third member from a Toyota land cruiser on it and it holds no problems...

    Cost of welding gas?

    That company is trying to rip you off IMO. In a pinch I go to my local NAPA store. I have a good relationship with the staff and they treat me well. Never paid more than $120 for 330 cu tank of Argon or C25. Shop around!
