What say gentlemen?

So I got a Beta 920/50 for cheap not long ago. It's the push through model. While hunting the drive piece/rebuild kit I thought, maybe I could just convert it to a regular 72 tooth ratchet by adding the rebuild kit for the 920/55. Looking at the picture, it looks like the handle/casing on all...

So I'm in the market for another torque wrench. Have considered buying used, so I was trying to scour the internet for info to either convince or dissuade me on the idea. I ran across the Wikipedia article on torque wrenches, and read something I've never heard before: There are no sources...

Hey guys. Couldn't find anything on this using the search. Thinking about getting a roll cab to use at home with some of my return cash. I have a tin carport over a concrete slab that I work, park and store stuff under. I want to put a toolbox under there, because right now I have about 5 little...

At a local pawn shop, they've got a Snap-On KRSC33 box. It looks like the previous owner cleared out necessities, leaving behind a few items to bump up the money he'd be offered at the shop. A handful of these items are Snap-On; what caught my eye was an incomplete wrench set and a few...

Hey guys. This morning was slow, so I cleaned and lubed my ratchets. Was ready to put my Snap-On T72 back together...somehow I dropped the selector spring. Can't say how I managed this; I was sitting at a desk, and put a clean white piece of paper down. Looked everywhere for it -- that thing is...

So I found a pair of Hapewe Porsche kit pliers at the flea market a month or so ago, shining bright and calling my name among a sea of rusted junk. Hapewe meant nothing to me, but they felt nice and said 'Germany' so I bit. Found out they're worth a little something to Porsche collectors, felt...

So I'm late to the party on this show; it's fast becoming one of my favorites. Last night I saw the fifth season episode where they destroy the lap top in the police station's evidence room. To do so, Mike gets them in. He's been my favorite character since he first appeared, and in the scene...

Picked up almost 20 hours working over this week, and tried to go blow a little (been looking for a new socket set). Was hard to do! Spent more on gas than I did on tools ($41 bucks!). That's the Proto box (missing the tray, but in otherwise beautiful shape, two 6 inch made in USA Nicholson...

Found what looked like a German socket set (Chrom-Vanadium stamp) bearing the CK name at a pawn shop today. Turns out it was, but that's just about all I've found out here and elsewhere on the internet. Only found two posts on GJ... It's the 1/4" drive 39 piece set. Comes with a ratchet, case...

Came away better than I normally do. Picked up 2 big, new (scratch & dent/return?) Proto screw drivers, a sealed 10 pc SAE Mac socket set (sealed, Marked USA), several German wrenches (Heyco, Hazet...formerly car kit I think), a Bell System off set combo wrench, a Snap On Double open end wrench...

Today's my day off, the first after a long week which means time to knock out some chores. Was straightening up around the house and came to a flea market buy from a year ago. At the time I was incredibly excited to find a bunch of old hand planes on a junk table at a flea market. They looked...

JMM's Industrial Surplus REDUX I'll ship cheapest way possible through USPS unless you prefer otherwise. I take money order or paypal. Open to trades particularly if you have specialty tools for the latest series of Mack/Volvo diesel engines. Let me know what you got. Discounts for multiple...

Will start by saying I've searched HIGH AND LOW! I swear. I have a Napa NB-56 ratchet -- 3/8" drive, flex head, 36 tooth, tear drop-shaped. The pawl likes to slip while I'm wrenching. Remedied it by packing it with red grease, which works unless I was working the ratchet fast. I guess this was a...

Did a quick search but I couldn't find anything right off. I'm sleepy, what do you guys use? I broke my old one today. 90% of use is on size 40/.5 chain. Thanks.

New here, and I found some killer deals this weekend: Howe (or Howe's?) Industrial Supply, Gastonia, NC on West Franklin BLVD. Not sure what the deal is with this place; I assume it used to be a humming supply company back when Gastonia was an industrial boom town. Now it's really rough...

Has to be metric; sizes 13 to 40, individual or sets. Prefer German or American, but open to anything. Thanks!

I've had this thing forever [B&S No. 13 0-1"], and for whatever reason decided to strip it down and get it back working this weekend. Guess I had too much free time. It's clean now but needs to be reset, only I can't figure it. This mic has some age on it and doesn't seem to adjust like newer...

Been cleaning out my box at home...here's two more: Universal Joint sockets, 3/8 drive. They're used but haven't been beaten or anything crazy. Still perfectly functional. I know how to keep my tools in good condition. Snap On FVU 28 12 pt 7/8" socket Snap on FVU 22 12 pt 11/16" socket I'd...

Need rec's for a fiber optic cable cutter. At work we run thin gauge FOC between looms and heads to keep them in sync with each other. The last guy that worked on the heads took home our very nice cable cutter (over 100 bucks) after he quit. We've found that we can get it done with a very sharp...
