I bought that set brand new about 2000 when I got hired on as a CATV tech in college. Used them everyday for 8 years in the field and they were great!! I have since changed careers, and I still have them and use them around home now. Same finish on mine too! But great investment 22 years ago!

Nice job, looked like a mess at the beginning! I'm a fellow Youngstowner also with a motorcycle garage. My lift isn't flush with the floor though...

also is that duct plugged up? No where for the cold air to go.

You're reaching the dew point of the air on the duct. If you look at your conditions on a psychometric chart you can understand what it happening. Google it for more details. You can plot your conditions and know.

Wow!! Nice work!!

Motor from Warren, Ohio!! That's 15 min from me! It's in Trumbull county not far from Youngstown. That's where the Packard cars were started. Lot's of industrial history up our way!

Where did you get that table for the lathe? Do you have dimensions on it? I have a Craftsman 12 X 36" and need a new table.

My hometown!! Youngstown was once a booming industrial area!! I wonder how that ended up out your way??

Rain X blades ****!! 2011 Chevy Truck, and they are the most loud things ever. Only work well in a monsoon.... I'll never buy them again.

On a side note I think I am just going to buying old oiler cans now whenever I see them cheap. Thanks fellas.... Another damn collection to start...

Well all the advice helped. I got it pumping oil tonight. I stuck my thumb over the opening without the extension on and got oil to flow!!! So I put a little Teflon tape on the threads of the extension (after all the stories of leaky cans I figured it couldn't hurt) and it works good now...

I now know what has been added to my future swap meet list... Everything is junk anymore. Why can't I get a decent oil can for a few bucks new? It doesn't get much more simple than an oil can...

I'll have to try flipping it over. I gave up because my thumb was getting tired... It seems like it's just moving up and down with no fluid getting sucked up.

I wanted a oil can for used motor oil for motorcycle chains, and non critical things needing oiled. I figured a lever type oil can is about as simple as it could get, right? Well I got this one at HF for $3.99 filled it up, and can not get a drop of oil to come out the spout. Do you have to...

Yea, I have one of those!!! It's a battery terminal cleaner. The one side is for the post type connections on the battery, and the other is for the inside of the cable connection. They work good for corrosion on battery terminals.
