Yeah I was actually surprised the shape it was in given what else is for sale around the area. A buddy of mine has a 2 ton arbor also and says he prefers to press small bearings with one of these vs. using his 20 Ton press.

So after a day of browsing the yard sales and almost coming home empty handed, I stumbled on this for $40. Didn’t have a need for it but I’m sure I’ll find some use for it..👍🏽

Great, thanks everyone for the replies. I stopped and looked at both units again at our local dealer and yes I agree, the Quincy does seem to be built much more light weight compared to the Jenny. The tanks feel pretty much the same but what stood out to me was the the Cast Iron pump on the...

I've been rocking an almost 40 y/o Sanborn 60 Gal upright and while it's not the greatest CFM wise, it's built like a tank. Doing regular oil changes but it has seemed lately to take a bit longer to get to full pressure. No leaks so hopefully it may just be some sticky reeds. I do like the...

So I'm looking for something portable for my service truck that I can use for blowing out intersection traffic cabinets of the dust and **** that accumulates inside. I've been using a gas powered blower which for the most part takes care of the bulk of the garbage but trying to use something a...

I'm trying to keep a central storage location of the high dollar adhesives I use in the garage and looking at the data sheets for each, I notice there is slight variation of the optimal storage temps. I use Loctite 422 for my all around general purpose adhesive and it states 36F to 46F is...

I've been pretty happy with the recent Black Diamond fine grit coal slag I picked up at TSC since for the price and kick *** cleaning power I thought I couldn't go wrong. My only complaint which I am not sure if it's the type of media or the way my bottom hopper and suction hose is designed...

My preference between the two would be the OTC 5630. Unlike the OTC which I had to order online, the Actron unit at least around here is pretty much available at the local parts houses but the two I went through ended up leaking at the hose fittings so back they went. I eventually opted for the...

I currently have for my Modis the 0-5000 psi model I used for testing my Ford Powerstroke's HPOP which did work quite well. Being that its a 0-5000 rated unit does anyone know how accurate it will test oil pressure on a basic 4-cyl gas engine? SO also carries in addition to mine, the 0-100 and...

There are a select few where I work who I have no problems with loaning tools since they have helped me in the past as well. It's the people I have never met before who just because I have what they need think they are obligated to it just because we work under the same roof. They are only...

That sounds like a pretty big project your got brewing. For the price it doesn't sound bad. Definitely post your projects pics when you are doing it. Good luck with it.

This would be an expensive book shelf but maybe you could think about finding a side locker to stick on that rig you got. Maybe someone on CL has something around you or even get a hold of any of the local SO reps and see if they have any repos. Those KRL side lockers are pricey though wherever...

Here is a classic set on fleabay with the mini side cab included. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Craftsman-Tool-Box-Chest-/111608741956?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19fc664044 It's for local pickup but he sates below if it doesn't sell he will list the box separate. Might be something to keep in...

You can get the badges from fleabay. Last time I ordered one they were about half the price of one off the truck. Granted you have to wait a while for it to ship... What color you thinking of painting it? Post pics if you can...

For a home garage box at that price they don't seem too bad. Although if I remember correctly aren't the drawer depths pretty short? Something like 18" if I recall?
