    Sears.com Bait-and-Switch Pricing?

    Just placed an order at Sears.com and I think I got screwed, at least a little. I needed a 1" 3/4 drive socket anyway and saw on here they had the 3 prybar set for $17.99 again so I threw an order together. Added the 40" metal creeper for $29.99 and the 20 piece Gearwrench set for $48 and...

    New to me Wilton vise

    Picked this up at an auction the other day, and was just wondering if any of you vise guys could give me any additional info on it. It has 6 inch jaws and 4 1/4 inches all the way open. To my eye it doesn't look ancient, but seems to be pretty well made.

    Best 1/4" hex impact bits?

    I'm about to purchase a Milwaukee Fuel 1/4" impact and a drill and I want to get some opinions on bits. Bits aren't a big investment, but after dropping some pretty serious coin on the impact and drill I hate to waste money on junk bits. I was going to buy the Milwaukee Shockwave set, but I've...

    Craftsman bandsaw, worth the money?

    Picked this up at an estate auction today. I gave $75 for this, a 9" miter saw, a table saw, and a planer, all Craftsman, all working. I know I've seen a few guys on here with these saws and I had to jump on it. It's dirty but barely has a paint scuff.

    Old Craftsman impact worth rebuilding?

    I purchased this a couple years ago at a flea market for $20 and it worked decently enough, so I put it in my truck box. The last time I tried it though it had no power to speak of so I upgraded to an Earthquake impact. Is this thing worth attempting to rebuild, or should I just chuck it in the...

    What is this tool?

    I see pairs of these everywhere but I've never known what they were for and I've never known anyone else that knew either. This one is actually missing the little stop screw that it's supposed to have. I'm wondering if it's something that you use to put nose rings in hogs or other animals...

    Funnel storage?

    So I'm down in the shop putting some paint on an old Ridgid pipe wrench that I'm bring back to life, and I've come to the realization that I have a bunch of funnels and no really good way to store them. They're too big to fit in a tool box and I don't want them hanging above my bench to drip...

    Old tools: Washington pipe wrench

    I picked this up last year at a local flea market and I can find nothing on the internet about the company. It's neat looking old piece and still very functional, so I thought I would share and see if any of you guys had any info on it. It's looks to be pretty old judging by the wood handle and...

    First time vinegar bath.

    I was rummaging through the tool box on my big tractor the other day and found an adjustable wrench and a pipe wrench that a buddy of mine had left in there at least two years ago. The pipe wrench wasn't too bad, still functional. The adjustable was awful and completely frozen up. Since they...
