Thanks! I picked up this trailer, since I wasn't close to finishing my project anytime soon. It's rare that Zoro has items that are close to normal (or less) than other online distributors. Throw in competitive prices with a coupon, and free shipping, and I consider it a win for $514...

Anyone have a 25% off that they don't plan on using? Found a trailer that could be useful around the shop. Thanks!

I wonder if it's the same US General brand that HF sells. I'd be interested if so, and the top box looks decent also.

I stopped in my local store to get a Valentine's Day gift for my wife, ya know something ****, and walked out with an Ingersoll Rand heavy duty air drill for $59.99 and a Winchester survival knife for about $6. I think she'll be happy...

If you are interested in an older Walker Turner floor model in the STL area I can send you some info. This area is good for finding tools, just be patient and look in the usual places.

Here is what I have that may help from when I was building mine a few weeks ago. The 220v single phase mag starter is a Siemens 16CF12AGACG with a 49SBSB1 switch wired in series with a pressure switch that came with the unit. Not pictured is the E62 heater I picked up off eBay. This component is...

Awesome score! Glad it worked out and the vultures didn't nab it out from under you. Any luck with the vises?

I also picked up a slightly used VR5. Paid $400 and it came with a NIB 5hp Baldor single phase L1430T. Had to wire rewire compressor for single phase -- it's a work horse. Similar motors can be found for around $300-$350 in my area. I wired mine with a Siemens mag starter and On/Off/Auto switch...

A case of beer sounds about right for him to pony up.

I feel like I picked up a cherry of a grinder this past weekend. Although a little bigger than what I need right now, it has potential and runs as smooth as buttah. The previous owner, a nice young guy from the city, told me it was in a bowling alley all its life -- any idea when this was made...

Central Transport here in St. Louis area. Bought a welder a few weeks ago and it came via freight to my house straight from Grainger. Had to call shipper to set up delivery time.

Picked up a machine table, better than what I can weld and probably the same price. The 30% off helped, especially when picking up a Syncrowave 210 last month. My budget for tools has been exceeded this year, for sure.

I can finally get a new diamond wheel for my tool grinder. Thanks!

One entry mailed in -- good luck to all!

Picked up a Syncrowave 210 so I can start to TIG at home. The prices are higher on most items listed on Zoro, so I only saved about 10% off this welder compared to other distributors. If I didn't live in the same state as Zoro (IL) I would have saved $895 from their above average retail price.
