    Cosco 17' Mulit-Use Ladder System $50 (regularly $100 to $150)

    Apparently the product is only available from west coast stores.... When I search for it by name or number thru my store it isn't recognized.

    craftsman "101" metal lathe

    Yes, thats the version with plain bronze bearings in the headstock. From an operational standpoint, I wouldn't let that bother you... use it as a negotiating point since most people seem to favor the newer roller bearing version. If the setup is well tooled, his asking price isn't far off...

    craftsman "101" metal lathe

    Here's a good general info source for many different make/model lathes: http://www.lathes.co.uk/atlas6inch/ Here's a picture from a Sears Catalog showing the early model 6" lathe... note the spindle bearing caps for the bronze bearings. The later roller bearing model doesn't have the caps...

    craftsman "101" metal lathe

    The first lathe (6” Craftsman/Atlas) is a very light-duty lathe and doesn’t do well cutting alloy and high carbon steels – you’ll need to take very light cuts. It’s best for plastic, aluminum, or brass. Also, it has the early version headstock that uses plain bearings, not the roller bearings...

    BF 2014 PB Swiss Sale

    Try acetone, it removed the bar code on my PB Swiss Multicraft hard plastic handles. I assume the Classic handles are the same material... just be careful not to get the acetone on lettering you don't want removed.

    Show us your pb swiss tools!

    Re: Show is your pb swiss tools! I’ve had these straightedge screwdrivers for about 4-5 years… no complaints. The parallel edges fit screw-heads well and are very tough… and the manufacturing quality/attention to detail is very impressive.

    Zoro Tools: 25% off $300 6/27 - 6/30

    I purchased an item last week when Zoro had the one-day 20% off sale on $300. The item came in a couple days ago, the same time Zoro advertised the 25% off on over $300 (6/27 – 6/30). I was a little bummed since I could have saved an additional 5% had I waited a few days to order... but heck...

    Sears Coupon Codes

    I tried the $15 off coupon on a couple Gladiator cabinets I purchased yesterday -- it wouldn't take... message said that this discount was already taken into account with the $99 pricing.

    craftsman pro screwdriver 6pc 19.99

    Here’s what you will get when ordering the Craftsman 6 pc. Screwdriver set… It’s not a bad product, although I would not pay more than the discounted price. The set is pretty typical of most screwdriver sets. However, those who prefer large-handled screwdrivers regardless of shaft size...

    craftsman pro screwdriver 6pc 19.99

    Be aware, the picture is very deceptive... two drivers have the large handles,two have a medium size handle, and two are small. When I ordered a set awhile back I thought Sears made a mistake in what they sent me. The package I received was quite a bit different than what the online picture shows.

    Value of small Logan metal lathe?

    I have been looking for a 9”/10” Logan over the past year or so. One thing I can tell you, the prices in our region are continually rising, especially those that are clean or restored. They sell in the 1,100 – 1,800 price range depending on tooling. The rough ones, like the one you’re...
