Found this on CL. And of course I'm on shift at the firestation so jumping in the truck and hauling *** over there is not an option. I just text the guy and he still has it as I'm typing this. Anyone recognize it? I'm waiting on more info from the seller. $150......

Ok guys. I have a burning question. While most, if not all of us here are tool fanatics, half of us like and prefer some good old vintage patina. But lets face it, sometimes technology takes front stage. Lets hear about what some of you think about the tools NEW vs OLD and back up your opinion...

It's time to move a few things to make room for others. While always on the search for vintage tools I want, I always find stuff I wasn't looking for but pick up in hopes to save some history and pass it on to a enthusiast. Prices are listed but i am always up for trading as well. Located 2...

Alright guys, I know with all the resources here I will find something good. Between my nail guns with leaky bottles in the cases and even my hair clippers with a leaky bottle, I'm tired of oil being everywhere but in the bottles. Any suggestions? I'm looking for small ones to fit in tool cases...

A vintage Hunter wheel balancer. With its own accessory cabinet. I have found very little info so far but I'll keep digging. Any of you older mechanics use one of these back when?

Well I think I did alright today. Got a cookie for anyone that can ID the two items in the background of the first pic

Those with one of these '40s model lathes, do they do their job well? If so, what would you consider a value on one that is a basket case? There is a local guy selling one that has been torn down for a resto that ever happened. He claims he has dozens of documenting pics before tear down. He's...

I am looking to buy a 3/8 drive NAPA NB46 like the pic. PM me with a amount shipped to 74019 please.

I found a Magna band saw for sale the other day and the price was right. Only problem is, I've gone 30 years without a band saw and really don't 'need' it. Or do I?..............from what I've read, Magna is a Shop Smith brand and runs off an external motor. This one is mounted to a wood table...

I will be building a wooden benchtop soon and was wondering what you thoughts were on how I plan to go about making a very solid minimal vibration surface. I will only be using the materials I have on hand. The finished top will be a 3/4" Sanded plywood that I will stain and seal with several...

I'm trying to buy a dual shaft motor to run a double pulley on a couple tools. I am planning on picking this 3/4hp 3450rpm up tomorrow but I've heard that depending on the bearing type they may live a short life. Any Craftsman guys recognize this jewel? Or do you need a model number?

Well, we have a garage sale thread over in general tools and a Craigslist thread. But since auctions aren't on the same scale as dealing with individuals and no competition, I think it needs its own thread. I know auctions are mentioned here and there but I haven't seen a dedicated thread. If...

I have never seen one of these in person or in a pic or an ad anywhere. I didn't buy it (yet) but I an pick it up for $50. I flat ram out of money today after buying some sweet diebold base cabinets and another old 5- 1-2" vise. But this one is still available and only $50. If I knew more about...

Sold ....

Nothing turned up here or Google, but it seems I saw it at one point on ebay or somewhere. Can someone with some 18" Ernst rails, using the mounting kit get me some measurements please. What is the overall width and length? Also are you able to have large sockets like 36mm or 1 1/2" on them or...

I'll be listing a more as I figure out what I need. But I'll start with these I have tons of various US made tools for sale if you check the links in my sig line that I'd trade or give me a price shipped to 74019. Mac X126R 3/8" 3/8dr shallow socket Mac X166R 1/2" 3/8dr shallow socket S-K...

If I have sold you anything on this board please leave a word or two about our transaction. Thanks in advance! Chad

Maybe I'm just not a smart man but I've searched here with zero results and ventured to Google with my search and got very confused. But I see it done all the time. With clickable links that say 'My Bulid' and 'for sale' etc. how do you change this...

This can be considered a two part recommendation since they dont have to be the same brands. Other than the over prices big truck stuff, what do you guys use or recommend for a screw driver set and a SAE/metric nut driver set? I've done some shopping on eBay just because its a good place to...
