Been a while since I've been on the forums, but with a baby on the way I need to clean out some tools to help with expenses. Up for sale is a full set of Craftsman RHFT ratchets. Raised panel handle, -V- series. All are in great working order. These have been box queens the entire time I have...

The compressor was running fine all day, it got bumped pretty hard while it was building up pressure. It got up to around 60psi and shut off, I can't get it to turn back on. Under neath the on/off switch there's a plastic "rod" that was loose and just rattling around, I'm thinking its connected...

Any word on the NT drill presses?

I'm going to look at an older craftsman lathe Friday. It's 1/2hp, 110/220, multi speed, 12" swing and 38" between centers. Comes with a lot of tooling a nice table and the original owners manual. It's in great shape but is there anything I need to look out for? I'm just starting out, so keep...

I'm 24 and my wife to be is 23. She was raised in a well to do family from the city. I was raised in a dirt road poor family on a farm. She was given everything, I had to earn everything. We always don't see eye to eye and we fuss and fight but when it comes to what I do in my shop at my house...

We're putting down laminate flooring in the spring but need a short term solution to our dirty carpets(she says its my fault, because of my work boots). I was looking at renting one from one of the big box stores. Anybody have any tips for what to do, what not to do? Better alternatives? Thanks...

I bought some USA made pencil style gauges from Epstein's for around $2 a piece. They work fine. One is 0psi-20psi. The other is 20psi- 100psi. Both are made by TRU-FLATE.

Welcome from Monroe!

This has been discused many times over. Ive got a set and always called them tri-wing ratchets. COO is more than likely Tiawan as there is nothing to identify them as being USA made. Decent ratchets but definantly not a RHFT.

Vidmar/Lista fanboys + Snappy trash talking = decent entertainment. To the original question....BUY IT. Weather any key likes it or not, 3k is a hell of a deal on an epiq.

I really don't what brand they are. I got them off eBay and ended up cutting them down to get very thing to fit. The rack for the stubbys are Ernst racks though.

It's the 30gal upright. It's something like 8cfm @ 90 psi. It's been a good compressor. It'll run my 3/4" cp gun no problem.

I finally got some wrench racks for the home box.. But I still don't know what to do with what's left, ( big wrenches, midgets and Mac ratcheting wrenches) any suggestions?

Thanks protege, yea that helps me out a lot. Appreciate all the help guys.

I've got mostly craftsman, snap on, Mac and SK in the box now and feel comfertable buying a brand I can trust but even for cheap imported **** the prices are way up there. I'm just tired of struggling to get the job done knowing that if I had a couple crowfoots it would have been 10x easier.
