I did look in to that, but from what I understand, that would require a heated building, correct? This building will be unheated.

Been a while since my last post (9 years?!?!?), but now I'm back. I'm considering building a barn/garage/storage shed for storing small tractors, implements, ATV's, snowmobiles, lawn mowers, boats, future project cars, and misc. extra junk. Haven't decided on a size yet, but probably 1500-3000...

Bang for the buck - no argument - the "fiercely made in Meadville, PA USA" Channellocks own a major portion of my pliers drawer. I am also sentimental to the old Diamond "Diamalloy" pliers (made in Duluth MN), but unfortunately, they were bought out by Crescent a decade or so ago, and are no...

I don't really think there is that much of a difference, other than the slides themselves. Before I bought them, I thought they might even be interchangeable, but they are not. The ball bearing lower boxes (all three boxes stacked in the photo are ball bearing, while all three under the bench...

I've got a couple of the Quiet Glide bottom boxes (two 4 drawer, and one 5 drawer). I use the ball bearing cabinets that are stacked for the heavy stuff I use regularly, and I use the three Quiet Glides for storage of some of my more infrequently used tools and as the base for my workbench...

Please help me ID this Snap-On top tool box. My best guess is a KR-53, but I am unfamiliar with Snap-on boxes. Any idea of rarity or value? It is in pretty good, but not perfect shape. I see old three drawer boxes similar on Ebay go anywhere from $20 up to nearly $300. I've got a guy...

Thanks for the PM sending me here posaune! I downloaded the scans you posted, and I will check what I am missing tomorrow. I've got mine hanging in in my garage, but haven't really found a practical use for it yet, but I'm sure I will.

I gave $80 for everything. I figured the copper in the windings and cables should be worth close to that.

Here is a pic of what I think is the "spot weld" ??? attachment that came with it. It is also marked "Twentieth Century" (the logo looks a little newer than the welder), but I can't find a part # on it. There is a little plastic knob on the handle that you can slide the "electrodes" ...

I was going to wait until somebody asked to see pictures, but since nobody did, I'll just post these crappy phone pics. I'm not sure if the box came with it originally, or was added later. The upside down socket is a replacement for a missing Mustang socket.

I picked up a small box of assorted USA sockets and ratchets last weekend at an auction. I bought it for a few Snap-On items that were in it, but after I got home and went through it, there was also a nearly complete vintage "Mustang" brand 1/2 drive set - complete with 12 pt sockets 7/16-1"...

I went to an auction last weekend, got auction fever, and picked up an old "Twentieth Century" 260 amp stick welder. It's in excellent shape cosmetically, and seems to weld pretty well for the two sticks I've used so far. It also has what appears to me to be a spot welder attachment - sorry no...

I'm sure it is [I]at least[I] 5 years old. I don't really expect them to warranty a power tool that has outlasted the original batteries, but was just curious if the warranty for power tools is a liberal as it is for hand tools. I don't have an issue with spending the $25 to keep it going, but...
