Hi Guys- Found a Wilton Vise at a nearby auction. It's a Wilton C1 with Chicago USA. Those are the only markings I can make out. It has 4" head on it, swivels and slides work good. Is it better to clean it up and repaint it, or just clean the grime off and leave as is? I've...

Hi, I only have one picture of this vise. Anyone know what it is by chance with that big '3' on the side? It's a swivel base also.

I just picked up this 14" Chop Saw at Northern Tool for $60 + tax. Marked on clearance on their website. Store also had it on clearance but for $78. Just tell the store and they match the website price. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_265097_265097 I figure for $60 I'd take a...

So got to thinking while I was under my truck changing the oil. I have always placed the jack and jack stands as such (but I leave the weight of the truck on the jack itself). Is it safer to lower the truck until the jack stands take the weight and leave the jack in place as a backup -- Or...

Hi All- Rookie metal person here. I'm trying to fabricate something and I have a 2" x 2" x 1/4" square bar as in the picture and I want to cut out the white square on the top side only (1 1/4" sq). What's the easiest way to do this? It's too small to use my angle grinder, and really thick...

Hi- I'm really bad at electrical, so asking for help. I've tried to document what I have below. I want to add a single bulb light with a pull string (mounted to an inside closet wall). I currently have 1 light with a pull string nearby and it's fed from an outlet (also nearby). I'm hoping...

Going to make this a few posts as I have time and a lot of pictures. Unfortunately I didn't think to take as many 'progress' pictures as I wanted but got it documented pretty well. -------------- OK, finally got a few pics uploaded. I have 3 boys all 11 and under. Between them and a...

Found this at a local goodwill...just curious what it's used for? The name SUNNEN is stamped on them....

I was walking around the back of Home Depot tonight and caught this stock out on the floor while they were trying to move it around. Wasn't suppose to be shown until Dec 26th according to the tag. Don't know a price but I bet it will be cheap as it's a Dec 26th sale item...

So I'm in the process of building my workbench. Steel frame based. I've got everything cut and welded. Now I am trying to clean it up to get it ready for paint. Two of the steel frame pieces (about 10 1/2 feet long), have a ton of sticky OLD super strength pull your hair out tape residue...

Total rookie here - so rookie question. Chop saw vs Mitre Saw? (I've read that chop saw is such a generic term now) If I wanted to cut metal, could I not just buy a metal cutting disc for my 10" compound mitre saw and use that tool (which I use to cut wood all the time), or is there a...

Hi All- I'm trying to run a new device in my garage and I'm either not getting power to the outlet or I'm getting the wrong voltage and need to know how to correct it. Here is the device input power label. From this I think it can use either 208v or 230v: Here is the outlet I am connecting...
