Vintage tool box ID? Can anyone help identify this vintage tool box please? I saved it from the dumpster yesterday (free) and want to clean, paint and put to use. It looks bad, but is fully functional. The original blue paint is covered in what I believe to be latex house paint. I did not see a...

I've been doing the research on Gearwrench ratchets and was considering ordering a set of fixed head ratchets to try them out and if I liked them, order the 4 piece flex head 120xp ratchet set too. I happened upon a 3 piece 84 teeth set locally which had 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" ratchets (81206f)...

I picked up a used, vintage, 11 drawer Gerstner & Sons tool chest yesterday from Craigslist for $240. The price was good considering recent sales on E-bay which were higher, plus additional shipping costs and I was able to inspect this box in person. It measures 20" wide, 16" tall and 9.5" deep...

I bought a vintage 1950's Craftsman 10" table saw 113.27970 from Craigslist for $25. As soon as I saw the photo in the ad with extension wings, fence, slide, guard and extra blades I emailed the seller and was first to respond. It belonged to the seller's father who bought it new and the seller...

How did I do? This popped up on Craigslist last night and I was the first to email the seller. Picked it up this afternoon and will start to clean it up tonight. Fully functional, slightly dirty with minor rust Snap On KRA 300D for $80. A really nice box at an exceptional price, love it.

I picked up a Parker machinist’s vise no. 172 yesterday at a farm auction for $35 and spent a few hours breaking it down, degreasing, blasting, priming and painting it. This is a beautiful old vise and works very well. The only flaw is it is missing the collar or garter on the front spindle so I...

I caved in, bought the 44" Harbor Freight top and bottom tool cabinet set and did the badge removal of shame... Well, I held out as long as I could looking for a used Snap On or decent set of vintage boxes. Nothing in my area for the last three years on Craigslist or Ebay worth buying. A...

I have been patiently searching for reasonably priced vintage British Standard Whitworth tools and have recently picked up a few sets from private sales and Craigslist. I restore and ride vintage BSA, Norton and Triumph motorcycles, actually use these tools and hate to pay collector prices...

Wanted to buy Snap On British standard Whitworth long combination wrenches, old logo. I need WOEX-10 5/16W and WOEX11 3/8W to complete my set and would prefer no owners' marks. I use them on my British motorcycles. Can pay via Paypal, USPS or however you like. Thank you very much!

Anyone else seen these or know anything about them? I believe they are genuine fake Sears Craftsman metric offset wrenches. Sears never stamped their tools "Sears" or "made in Japan" or "Drop Forged BF Japan" did they? Weird. Picked them up at a garage sale for $10, they work well and I like...

Like nearly everyone else, I recently picked up the China made 20 gallon parts washer. Mine was not the HF $79 special, but rather a black "Speedway Series" from Craigslist, but it is the same girl in a different dress (better looking in all black than the red and blue outfit...). It was used...

I did some research on this forum and it seems Craftsman's professional full polish wrench sets are now called simply "full polish" sets and no longer made in the US. I see the last US made professional sets on E-bay for much higher than original prices. I am happy to report I took a chance...

These are professional quality, heavy duty, very rare and better than any other Whitworth set produced today. If you work on vintage British motorcycles, cars, airplanes or boats you need these beauties. The have a weight, feel, look, patina and burnish that are a joy to use. Most have different...
