Ordering a system, I see they take coupon codes but I can't seem to find a current one, anyone have one they'd like to share?

I keep seeing it referred to in threads about compressors but not sure of the specifics, a search for "drilling air fittings" yielded no results. I have a 30 gal. Kobalt compressor and have to use 100' of hose to get where I need, 50 feet to get to a 50 foot Goodyear reel. Using iron pipe to...

Have come across a Parker 974, complete with swivel lock handle. It has been stored outside in an unheated shed for several years and has developed a nice patina of rust over the entire vise. But everything still works properly, the handle will open the vise and the base will lock when the...

I have a 10 year old Ford Explorer on which I have to change out the rotors and pads. The truck still has the original brake fluid in there so I figure it should be changed also. The last time I bled brakes was 30 years ago; open bleeder, tell girlfriend to push pedal down, close bleeder, yell...

This weekend at the local flea market I got two unused bench grinder abrasive wheels for a $1 apiece. I tried looking up the codes online but only got so far, could use some help determining their best application. The first is a gray Norton wheel, 4.5"d. x 1-5/8w. x 7/8 center. The product...

I have some of the regular Wiha's with the soft grip and like them very much, here is their insulated set. Here's Wera's set, can't tell if these handles are soft and grippy or hard and slippy. Recommendations?

Over the years I have accumulated a couple hundred ******* drill bits, most in need of being sharpened. I was also given one of these but it doesn't seem to work well or I can't work it well. Anyone else have success with it? If not what's a good alternative that won't cost ore than new bits?

Looking to purchase one of these style vises to be mounted on a hitch when needed at a jobsite. HF makes a 5", I got one good review of it on here, has lasted a few years. HD sells the 5" Irwin Brand, had 9 reviews and 6 say the jaws broke. Lowes sells the5" Bessemer brand, good reviews...

I can get this charger delivered for $91.00. I know they used to be decent chargers but are they still good for home use? I won't need it for maintaining, I have some Battery Tenders for that, want to use it primarily for fast charging, emergency starting and electrolysis cleaning...

Anyone use one? Looking for something to mount on a bumper and I like the idea of jaws and pipe jaws. Does any US maker make a similar vise?

I got one of the 30gal. compressors Lowes was discounting some months back, it's been sitting in the basement but is ready to be used. I'll be wiring it for 220V use. I want to run a line from the basement out to the garage to run some air tools as well use it in the basement for small stuff...

I need to get a 4" swivel vise that will be mounted on a plate in a trailer hitch for field work. Pipe jaws would help. May get rained on and there will be road dirt so I don't want to use any of my nice vintage vises. I was thinking about just getting a cheap, made in China vise that I won't...

Found this among a bunch of tools I inherited, looks to be all brass and stainless, any ideas what it is? thanks, Rob

Much difference in the two brands at this level? Makita HR2475 vs. Bosch 11255VSR. Both 7amps, both have clutches and the same bells and whistles. Will get light homeowner use, was going to get an HF but they all wobble so looking for best value. The Makita is available for 130.00, best on...

I have a steel bench in the basement, interlocking uprights not welded but I do light work. Right now there's a single plywood shelf on the bottom and **** just accumulates there. I would like to get a wheeless box with drawers that will slide into the space (57-1/2"w x 26-29" deep x 22"h) Looks...

So I'm the basement with the wife of a friend that passed away, looking for more stuff of his to sell, he was a real accumulator. One of the things I found is the Parker 288-1/2 vise I showed I another thread. In a corner I found an very nice old blacksmith vise. I could not find a name on it...

Need help, Chas. Parker 288-1/2 Vise - PICS ADDED I may be able to get the above vise but I could use some more info. I know all about the company but this specific vise has 4" jaws I believe and the jaws are quite tall. The handle seems thin for the vise but most unusual is the base. It is a...

I found this reamer inside a Snap On box I bought. There was a Honda valve guide reamer in there, the previous owner was into motorcycles and guns but it doesn't look like a chamber reamer. The number is 119183 110 and there is a stylized "M" inside what looks like an arrowhead in the middle...

Moved to tools.

Just noticed how nice this little bench is after passing it by a few dozen times in a customers garage. It's a small bench but seems well made, it's below waist height. The two metal vise collars are marked C. CHRISTIANSEN CHICAGO ILL. From looking around the net benches made by this company...
