Thanks OP! Picked one up today at the store and it was still marked $49.99 on the shelf. It came up correct in the register and it surprised the cashier.

Thanks for the heads up Exceler8! I picked up the linemans plier for 29.96 too

Don, Absolutely incredible space! I can't believe I have missed this thread until now. I just spent 2 hours reading through it and it was well worth it. You have some amazing stuff there. Thanks for being so enthusiastic about sharing it with the rest of us. You have been truly blessed and...

Couple more shots

I was digging around the old family farm looking for new restoration projects and came across these two. The vice may have been part of an old piece of farm machinery possibly, I'm not sure. The screw only closes in the jaw a little bit, to really open it up, you pull the pin at the bottom and...

What are the apps you're using? I would love to have something like that.

I've had pretty good success the last couple of times with a shop vac and one of those long gutter cleaning attachment. You stick it by where they are getting in and turn the vac on. The start attacking the the opening of the hose only to get sucked in. Most shop vacs have the deflector plate...

Folks, I'm hoping this won't create another Grainger ratchet scandal, but they look to have a pretty good deal on a set of Proto 10" slip joint pliers. I don't need another set of these, so I didn't order them, but I did put them in my cart and see what happened. It appears, like the ratchet...

Nice Stuff

I have an older Kennedy that is like the Maintenance Pro Cart and it is built like a battle ship and I love it. Granted I only paid $350 for it a few years ago and it came with a Wilton vice, but I would have easily paid more for it. Mine is like this one for reference...

Jack, Great to see your garage in a prestigious magazine! Congratulations, that is quite an honor. When I saw it I was all confused trying to remember if I was online at GJ or reading a magazine! Way to go!

I just did it on some old wrenches and they turned out great. A lot smaller scale than what you are talking, but same concept. Only thing that was a pain is the rust is reduced to a black coating that is a little bit tough to remove. I used a plastic wash tub, 1/2" x 4' re-bar, wash soda...

My first email I got back from them said it was a pricing thing like the rest of you. I shot an email to them on what's up with that? Got a second one saying that it was a no longer available thing. I went the the "no" link at the bottom on whether or not I was satisfied and hit the call me...

Were these at Home Depot? Seems like it is in line with the Extreme Graphite post. If so, is there a way to determine what product has this status? I'm in there all the time and don't see things like this marked. It's entirely possible I'm walking right by it though!

Awesome artwork in the front, keep the pictures coming!!!
