NOTHING better than a saddle SWC! short stack

Welcome! Im in Lincoln Tough night last night, huh? short stack

Yeah, I got ***** slapped the last time I offered to do all the work. He told me lots of people try and steal tools, so they have to find each and every one by himself. Tater - I think it is a corporate store. In a big mall in a city of 250,000 people. Tool dept is probably 1200 sq feet...

so, do you guys have to give commission back when i bring in tools for warranty? The "main guy" at my sears absolutely throws a ******* fit when I bring in more than three items at one time for warranty. He usually says, you are going to have to leave this stuff and come in back in an hour...

Jeez bro - STOP BANGING THE DRAWERS!!! short stack

Arrrgggghhhh. Sorry for the giant photos - I cant resize them since they were forwarded from one phone to my phone and Im no computer genius. Anyway, you get the idea. Sorry my buddy took pictures of the BACK SIDE! :mad: Doggone rookies. Motor appears to have been replaced at some time...

JASTECH - I yell "HUSKER" You yell "POWER"! I committed to buy the old girl today. I got a couple of crappy phone pics forwarded to me today that I will try and upload tonight. Wont know weight or if it runs until Friday at the soonest. I am still considering taking the lathe off the...

The seller says he thinks it is about 1500 - 2000 lbs. Havent had it on the scale yet. I will know more on Friday. That weight would put it about +/- $400 sitting in my shop. short stack

The hard part for me is if I adopt the old lady and bring her to my shop, it takes up a lot of valuable space, and more than that, valuable time that I will eventually spend cleaning, reworking, finding tooling, etc. It just kills me to see good American Iron turned melted down into WallyWorld...

Nebraska - Go Big Red! short stack

My buddy at the scrap yard called me today about a lathe they picked up. It appears to be an old Warner & Swasey#2 Turret Lathe. I thought it might be an upgrade from my South Bend, but it has a much shorter bed than mine so I am not interested in it. My question before it goes into the...

I want to enjoy the carpeting in my vehicles myself. Not preserve them in pristine condition just so the next owner can enjoy them. I remember when trucks came factory with rubber mats. It was a real privelege and luxury to be able to afford to upgrade to carpeting. Putting rubber mats...

Re: I love SnapOn tools ..BUT That set is only $49 per wrench. What are you guys whining about? short stack

push them over and have them land on three or four old tires WITHOUT a rim. I The tires are unbelievably strong, prevent the steel from contacting the concrete so no damage to the lift or concrete. At impact, the sidewall of the tire takes all the force and lift is on the ground. p.s. I...

Really??? The 40 year old craftsman I could get warrantied, the snap on.... Ummm, no. short stack
