    Reed and Prince #710

    Anyone have a R&P #710 in their collection, or have a catalog that shows details of it? Working on a tool kit for an aircraft project and it calls for a #710, along with a custom greasing tool and Dzus snoopy. I can't tell form the drawing if it's a cross tip or a flat tip driver, and is about...

    Whole house humidifiers

    Anyone have a good suggestion on a whole house humidifier? Rule out any that are inserted in the HAVC system, as the current house system will most likely be replaced in 2026 and trying to insert one into the current system would be extremely expensive due to the configuration and location of...

    Lennox 13HPX problems...

    We've got a Lennox 13HPX system that was installed about 10 years ago. It's been reasonably trouble free until last year. We started to get random low pressure lockouts on it. We had the coils cleaned, charge checked and it seemed to quit for a few months. Starting in March, it began again. Tech...

    Roloc disc source

    Anyone have a good source for quality 2" roloc discs? It's time to restock the garage and I no longer have a good source. Most of the ones I see on Amazon have at least a 10% 1 star rating for either being off center or having glue failures. I typically get 3M ones, but am open to others that...

    MiG wire brands...

    I need to order some wire for my new Miller 211. Any recommendations on wire brands? Hobart, Harris and Lincoln are all easy to get, but is any one better than the the other? Will be ordering ER70 for now, as most of what I'll be working with for the foreseeable future is A36 steel.

    Heated vests

    Anyone that works outside using a heated vest? Since I was down pretty sick a few years ago, I've had trouble staying warm when it gets below about 65F. Although we are mostly in hangars at work, there is quite a bit of time that we are exposed to outside temps up to the entire shift. When we...

    Bizarre shop machinery....

    I was cruising thru this video about one of my restoration projects. I thought it was pretty wild that during the war, companies were not above building bizarre and exotic machines to speed production. Got to about 14:40 in and see the 185 spindle drilling machine for part of the engine case...

    Anyone use a high end airbrush?

    Looking to move to a high end airbrush to replace a touch up gun for painting lots of small parts. Typically I'm shooting enamel or lacquer, but will be using other types at some point in the future. Surface areas vary, but rarely do I need to shoot more than about 20 cc's of mix at a time...

    Went to grab a measuring tape from the main tool box...Nope, none in there. Went to the other box, nada..... Even checked the junk drawer by the kitchen door....Not a single tape to be found. Even checked both trucks and both cars here at the house... I've bought probably 3 dozen tapes in the...

    New dryer for the shop...

    I've been watching for a dryer at a reasonable cost to go with the big compressor for the shop. Stumbled onto this one Thursday and scarfed it up that morning. With rain coming on Friday, and not being able to get things cleared out to get it in the garage, I had to drop it over at one of the...

    Hein Warner jack question

    I picked up a long frame 10 ton HW for my shop this weekend. It doesn't have a data plate or any kind of marking that I've been able to find as to what model it is. From running thru a bunch of drawings and manuals, I've narrowed it down to either a CF10H, or X-10. How can I tell the difference...

    Hydraulic press question

    Anyone have a 60 ton or larger press in their shop? If so, could you tell me the basic dimensions on your full capacity press plates? I need to set some materials to make a couple of sets for my 60 and 50 ton presses. My supplier has a good drops section so I want to hit it this week on the way...
