judging my the kearney trecker writing i would say that this came from a machine tool, such as a large kearney trecker horizontal mill. Kind of an old school read out. http://blog.cnccookbook.com/2012/06/28/the-world-before-dros/ scroll down to the second picture.

well then, any one know of an independent truck that might be driving around the union, spartanburg south carolina area?

I'm working in the small town Of union south Carolina at the moment and see a truck drive by. It was a tool truck, but i didn't catch the name. Now i know the usual truck brand, snap on, matco, mac, cornwell but what are some of the other tool truck brands, that are maybe not as popular?

I bought my two stanley vidmar cabinets at auction for 1200$ then cut one apart to build my tool box. I love it, would never consider some thing els as my toolbox.

Seen some silver eagle general service socket sets at a local pawn shop are they any good, i know their a matco off brand, they even have the same logo. But i couldn't find where they are made or any real quality reviews.

I've just got a quick question. My dads been a mechanic for 35 years or so, and since i'm a starting millwright and he's started to pass down some of his tools since he's getting ready to retire he's given me a few snap on ratchets and was wondering will snap on replace an entire ratchet when...

Here are a couple pics of my set up, home built using a pair of new era automation cabinets, kind of a lista knock off. But at 48" wide per cabinet, 36" drawers front to back and a 400lbs drawer capacity. It should hold up to all my millwrighting needs.

Hi, found this website looking for some tool box organisation ideas and got hooked love to see the tools and tool boxes. As a millwright by trade tools make me grin from ear to ear. thanks for having such a great forum.
