Anyone know what this is? Thx, m

I can't make out the brand. Thanks!

Anyone have a calibration routine for a Craftsman 982408 / 82408 multimeter (or similar)? I can't seem to discover the MFG. It has 3 calibration points, so far as I can tell. A blue-colored VR1 near the LCD, then a VR2 and 3 elsewhere on the board. I've had this thing since the early 1990s, or...

I need a thin wall bit holder for getting at screws buried in deep narrow holes, say 9-9.5mm dia, 6" long.

Has anyone ever rebuilt one of those little 12v Hitachi Post Batteries (Lithium)? Two of mine died. Will the circuit board disable the battery if a cell is removed?

I need a set of deming bits (9/16" - 1") that won't break the bank. Experiences? Thanks! M

My Delta 10" Contractor's Saw (Model: 34-444 * Serial: 91K64857 * Ref: CS4L3) has bad bearings (sounds like). I read a few posts and watched a couple videos. Looks like I have enough savvy to remove the old bearings, but need to take it to a shop for pressing the new (unless it's okay to bang on...

I live in Minnesota. Need I say more? I have bad pitting in all four tracks of our 2-car garage. I do not need a fancy solution. I want to fill the pits and coat the floor with something that will repel the salt-attack. It would be nice if the coating is compatible with epoxy, should I decide to...

I have a little floor dehumidifier. The compressor's gone to start/stall--fan runs fine. Compressor tries to start, quits. Thirty seconds later, tries again. Ad infinitum. Replaced start/run capacitor. No change. Seized compressor? M

Wierd. I have four Hitachi 12v BL1015 batteries for my little drill, and two chargers. I rotate them on the chargers weekly since I don't use the tool that often. I test them all in the drill once a week. Recently, an oddity. I remove battery from charger, slap it into drill. Nothing. Dead...

I need a brass spring for my Newton #2 combination square, which appears to be a copy of the Starrett design. It's about 1/4" i.d., and (was) slightly longer. It broke. I sent Starrett an email for part PT01086 SPRING, #11 .257X.308X.563. Hopefully I am not unjustly prejudiced, but I have little...

I'm looking for something like heat shrink that will harden and not re-expand/shrink under stress. I'm actually trying to repair the barrel of a 4-way pen, which has cracked. Not exactly a high-priority in a garage I suppose, but I figured that you guys would have some ideas. Thx, M.

I just bought a Wilton off Ebay. It's a beater, but I just need a vise right now--one that works and is not made of some offshore pot metal. I figured, based on the beating this one's taken, that I probably wouldn't be able to hurt it. And it does have the rotating base. Date code on the slide...

Hi! I am looking for a casting nut (seen this spelled casing nut, too) for a Rock Island #50 vise. Mine broke the other day and appears to have been welded together in the past at some point. Broke at the weld. I have had that vise for some 15 years. It was given to me by a good friend and...
