The first 2 pictures show it laying flat on my saw. The next 2 pics show it with a wedge to bring it up level and turned 180*..... Is this fixable? It does not read the same in any direction. Where do I send it off for calibration? I’ve had this for damn near 15 years. It spent it’s “off”...

Picked this up yesterday, and couldn’t find any markings or labels. Emptied a drawer and found the remnants of what looks like a logo. It’s not much, but I know you guys are the best at this, so, what do you guys say it is? I bought it thinking it was something else, but now I’m not sure...

I’ve been using an old Lisle but it’s just about worn out. It has to be 20+ years old and probably has done a couple/few dozen motors. I went to use it on my 318 dodge, and it just would not bite. I remember having issues with it last time I used it, and I told myself to upgrade at that time...

Is there a thread on easco tools already started? I searched for easco in the search function above (both for threads and posts) and didn’t come up with much easco related. It brought up a bunch of threads and posts but not related... so if there is already a thread, I apologize. Can anyone...

I loaned my friend my 3/8” drive impact socket set a couple years back. He was working on something of his in my yard, so I was comfortable with him using them. It wound up missing the 9/16 :mad: We searched and searched and searched and couldn’t find it. Today (about 2? years later) I’m...

I have been doing a lot of cylinder heads lately. Mostly performance (springs with higher pressure). I have an el cheapo overhead valve spring compressor from harbor freight. It works “ok” for stock or close to it springs, and works ok to swap springs with heads installed I’m looking for a C...

One of my favorite extendable magnets is marked “Aircraft spec inc, Lapeer MI, Made in USA, NO 927” It is engraved on the handle with my Grampa’s cousins first initial and last name, and what looks like an employee number? It belonged to my late grandfathers cousin, then my grandfather when...

I thought this was pretty cool. A couple months back, I picked up a “Flying V” Craftsman 1/4” that was rusted solid. They only made them for maybe 5 years, ending in 1964 I believe (correct me if I’m wrong!) Last year, I bought a 1968 Dodge d200. Finally got it home last weekend, and am now...

I searched and could only come up with threads that were years old. I ordered a spindle thread repair kit a few months back, and shipping seemed to take a little long, but still in an acceptable range. Last week, I ordered some 3 row Hansen socket trays. I got an order confirmation...

Emailed them about replacing a 13/16 socket that had cracked. The told me not to send in the cracked one, but they sent me a brand new one! And it’s made in the USA!! Made me a firm believer in Wright tools!

Going through the tool box that I got from a friend. The boxes were his step dads who was a toolmaker when he first came from Holland in maybe the 50’s(?) and then he went and worked for Lockheed Martin/Boeing, etc later in life, retiring in appx 1994.... So. What are these, are they tools...

Friend gave me a box of tools. I was able to identify most, except this one.... No makers marks at all, except sizes...

Putting together a box for some upcoming work, and going through my tools. Found this... I’m pretty sure it was my grandpas. And I’m sure the rest are in his old shed... Can anyone tell me anything about it? TIA!

Going through my Grampa’s tools and found these 2. The 1/2” was a staple in my box for quite a while. Now it’s in my box that my Grampa’s tools are in. I really like the offset for top post batteries.

With koken not too common here in the states, who here has koken sockets? How long have you had them? Have you put them through the paces? Have you had to warranty them? How has the finish held up to chemicals, wear and tear, etc? I was looking at some online and they sure are purdy. I am...

Looking to upgrade from the small one I have now. Not necessarily replace, since the small one is good for sharpening knives and such. Mainly looking for a 6” or bigger for putting polishing pads on to polish tools and automotive trim/parts. What is a good brand? I’d prefer USA made, but if...

Noticed the “H” on a few of my recent Husky wrench purchases is different than others. Is this a “Husky” or a knockoff? Vintage? New? It’s made in USA, so I assume it is older... What IS this?!?!

While shopping for used tools today, the place had a flex head 3/8” drive ratchet that I am sure said “TAT”. If that is the case, are they worth getting? It may still be there tomorrow, but for some reason I didn’t grab it. I think because it didn’t say made in USA. I forget the COO, though...

Snap on truck was at the local used tire shop today. My friend and I decided to stop. I was going to drop coin on a set of metric and SAE wrenches. I step up into the truck, and there is a guy ahead of me. No worries, I’ll wait. I’m standing there, and waiting, and waiting and waiting. 20...

Didn’t know how to word the question. Basically, if your friend needed a specialty tool, but was too cheap to buy it, would you buy it and then “rent” it to them? I have a friend needing a certain socket to rebuild the pump on his VW Beetle TDI. The socket is only $23 and shipping, but he...
