D and diesel, Thank you very much for your help. I figured out what was going on. I replaced the springs, hinges, pullies and rollers. Most were more than 20 years old. Very noisy. After doing so, I thought I could use the opener to lift the door, so I could install the cable pullies and attach...

Yes, it has worked. Thank you very much.

Hi all. With the opener "emergency cord" pulled, I can lift my garage door by hand. However, when I attempt to use the opener, the door will open only 1/4 of the way. It seems like the door opener is pulling the door back, instead of up, pulling the side track inward. The door has quick-turn top...

Many thanks to all of you who have replied. I really appreciate it. Snap On, it is!!

Hi all. Am looking to buy some 1/4” swivel sockets. Primarily for under dash work. Don’t need impact type. Are Snap On going to fit where the others won’t? Thank you all for your help.

It is, thanks! I am hoping that I can get some clear straight-on photos, that I can take to a small decal company, to ask them to make me one. Any thoughts? Again, thanks!

Hi all. I am looking for pictures of a mid-60s Graymills parts washer. I am restoring one for an elderly uncle, before giving it to him as a gift. It had been repainted. I am hoping that I could get some pictures of the decal that would have been on the front of it, so I can get one made. I...

Hi all. I am looking for a Graymills parts washer. Ideally a 1960s model 500 or 300. Any suggestions on where I might locate one would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Many thanks to all of you. I can rent a Bosch for $35/day. $8/day for a 3/4 bit. Will probably do so, unless I come across a deal on a used Bosch, that I can’t pass up.

Hi all. Will be installing a 2-post lift in my garage. Will need to drill some 3/4" x 5" holes in my concrete floor. Am looking to buy a rotary hammer to do so. Would the Bosch Bulldog be a good choice? Others? Thank you.

2ndGear, RN and Beau, Many thanks to you for your advice. I was able to find used Snap on for a great price. Take care.

Hi all. I am looking to purchase a torque angle gauge. The ones available online all look very similar. The reviews vary widely. I’m looking for something that will be durable. As much as I love Snap on, I would have a hard time justifying spending $120 for theirs. I would appreciate any...

Bill and Mogan, Thank you very much for your responses. I I believe that it was manufactured in the late 1960s. If it is available, I would agree it would be pricey. I am hoping that I will be able to come across a used one. Again, thank you.

Hi all. Am looking for a table elevator/lift for my 15” Clausing drill press. If any of you know of a possible source, I will appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
