    Video borescope

    I'm looking to get one of these mostly for autobody cavity inspection but I'm sure it'll have plenty of other uses. Anyway, I want one with a nice thin scope. The ones Griot's and HF sell seem to have a scope with too wide a diameter. Anyone know of a good one? Also what else should I be looking...

    Bottle jack restoration (cosmetic)

    Bought this the other day - already posted. Anyway, I must have too much time on my hands but I decided to de-rust and paint it. I used naval jelly and a wire wheel and then applied a couple of coats of light blue Rustoleum Hammertone paint.

    Bottle jack ID help.

    I bought this jack yesterday. Does anyone know the vintage of this thing? I'd like to repaint it but want to use a period correct paint. A hammertone would be nice but I'm not sure if it would be appropriate. When did hammertones first appear?

    Advance Gearwrench sale

    I just picked up the 5 piece gearwrench sets for $15. I avoid Taiwan/china tools like the plague but choices and value are unfortunately limited with gearwrenches.

    Garage door window covering

    What can I cover my garage door windows with so as to get light in but keep prying eyes out? I was thinking about spraying some of that frosted glass stuff on the windows. Does that hold up against moisture and condensation?

    SO magnetic spark plug socket

    All I have to say is awesome. Such a pleasure to use. It's so much easier to know when the socket is properly placed on the plug and yes it has a strong magnet. :bowdown:

    Kennedy Toolbox find

    Picked this up at the flea market today for $30. It's missing the top handle and has been repainted over the original krinkle finish. Otherwise all drawers open and close smoothly and felt liners are in nice shape. Where can I get a new handle? :headscrat
