Found an old bit marked "Rawldrill #10." I'm assuming it was used to drill for anchors, but in what? And what did the other end go in?

I took this impact apart a while ago but I can't seem to figure out how to get it back together. It's a Chicago Pneumatic 1/2" but there are no markings on it. So I can't figure out what model it is. I believe I have the hammer portion as well as the motor portion with the vanes installed...

Time for everybody's favorite game: Name That Mystery Object. I can't, for the life of me, figure this one out. I don't even know if it's a tool or simply a piece of hardware. Both ends of it are threaded. That allen key looking thing is threaded into one end, and the other end has threads of a...

How do you guys store things like masonry trowels, joint knives, mud boxes and the like. Some of my finishing trowels are 10+ inches, and they take up a lot of space in a traditional rollaway tool chest. Any ideas?

A local wholesale store has some Hanson NOS taps and dies for cheap that I'm looking to pick up. Lacking a tap and die set, I usually purchase said tools on an individual as needed basis. But since this store has them for such a good price, I'm looking to stock up. My question to you is, what...

This might seem like a dumb question, but does the length of a bolt include the head or just the shank/threads?

I have a ball joint that is stuck in the lower control arm. I've tried hitting the outside of the control arm where the ball joint goes through but the ball joint won't pop out. Is there any way to get it out other than with a pickle fork? In my experience in this type of situation, the pickle...

Please excuse my ignorance, but I can't for the life of me figure out what these things are or what they're for. Can anyone help me out?

Would it be possible to tap threads into a piece of 1/8" thick sheet metal? For what it's worth, the threads I need to tap are 1/4-18 NPT. So if I'm doing my math correctly, that's .125 times 18, which means there will be 2.25 threads. Is that enough for it to catch?

The Time-Sert kits that they sell include, besides the inserts: a drill bit, counterbore, tap, and an installation driver. These kits can be rather pricey. For example, a M12 X 1.50 kit is running on Amazon for 88 bucks... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001JK44D4/?tag=atomicindus08-20 However...

The threads on a 3/8-16 hole got all boogered up. I was wondering if a 3/8-16 hole has enough metal left to tap to a 7/16-14 or 7/16-20. If not, what about a M12 x 1.75? Or is the heli-coli/time-sert route the way to go?

I recently picked up a used torque wrench and I was wondering what is the best way to check its accuracy without sending it out to be calibrated. I feel as though calibration would be a bit cost prohibitive due to the torque wrench being just a cheapie. I also do not have another accurate torque...

What do you guys think a used 6.5 HP Briggs and Stratton vertical shaft engine would be worth?

How do you store holesaws and unibits? I was thinking of getting a soft carrying case like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MILWAUKEE-42-55-2460-SOFT-COVER-CARRYING-CASE-ONLY-FOR-2460-ROTARY-TOOL-M12-/390482674444?pt=Power_Tools&hash=item5aea94c30c And cutting some of this foam to fit it...

Anyone have a link to one of those 25% off coupons that Harbor Freight usually runs on Memorial Day? Looking to buy some stuff at the Home Depot tomorrow and one of those coupons would come in handy.

Is Marshalltown's QLT line their "discount" line, sort of like Blue Point is to Snap On for example? Anyone know?

I'm pretty sure Dewalt, Irwin, and Vermont American are all made in China. Any one make spade bits made in the USA? Bosch? Milwaukee maybe?

Anyone ever hear of such a thing? I was changing the brake line on a Dodge Dakota. Went to go slip a Snap On line wrench over the line and on to the nut, and it wouldn't fit over the line. Pull out a Snap On crowsfoot line wrench and boom, slipped over the line just fine. What's up with that...

Anyone know if any of the chain stores sell air tools grease? Specifically IR 105, but any would do. Advance Auto, Autozone, Ace Hardware, Harbor Freight?

Anyone know what model numbers these top and bottom Matco boxes are? What would be a fair price for the set?
