Picked up a Grex 23g recently, used, looked decent. On trying to use it, though, I found that the recoil doesn't seem to work. It fires one pin perfectly, then the driver stays 'down' (extended) until I unload the pins and remove the front of the driver assembly... at which point it will return...

Grr! This has been bugging me for years now, and it just occurred to me to ask GJ. The flush handle just has your basic holes in it. The flapper chain is made of those little linked balls - it's sturdy enough for the job, but doesn't meet well with the handle. Usually, you get some little...

This is probably a dumb question for the pros, but I can't wrap my head around why it's acting this way. Trying to fix an old Black & Decker electric lawnmower, the one Mom got many years ago. Never had to replace anything other than brushes, and perhaps a switch. Now it doesn't do anything at...

I think I may know the answer to this one, but can't hurt to ask the experienced guys first. So my girlfriend's brother made her a nifty little setup to hold her knitting yarn - it rotates to dispense the yarn. Works well, but the rotating assembly is secured to the base with a bolt, a few...

Yes, my beloved K-60 is on the block. In case anyone just joined GJ, the K-60 is the collectible Old School Snap-on box. It's from the early 1940s and is built in an Art Deco style that is utterly timeless and will turn heads anywhere. Only selling because I'm moving and have waaaaay too much...

1. Craftsman 34577 socket set, 1/2" metric deep 12-19 and 21mm. Sells for $50 new. Barely used and most sockets haven't been used at all. SOLD to Chris_PT 2. Weller SP23L soldering iron. Your basic soldering tool. Weller makes it better than the generics. I've seen them selling for $12-13 new...

Thinking about how I'm missing out on working on my projects had me brainstorming, and I got to thinking about my grandpa's old Huntsman stove. We still have it... Can someone point me to what's involved in installing such a stove safely? The garage used to have some sort of heat (don't remember...

The title kinda says it all. There must be Christmas light factories outside China (I saw some at Home Depot with a 'Made in Philippines' label) but I haven't seen any that are LED-based and not made in China. If anyone's seen them, could you please let me know where?

Edited to reflect what I'm still looking for. Thanks Rickster! If anyone's rummaging through their spares bins, I'm looking for the following: TMUSM9 1/4 drive 9mm non-impact swivel SFS201 1/2 drive 5/8" deep non-impact IMFM8A 3/8 drive 8mm short impact SIMMLM140 1/2 drive 14mm long impact...

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/tls/1460332428.html It's a rolling cabinet with a row of three drawers, then a row of two drawers, above the cabinet portion. There's one more drawer in a cabinet. Never seen one like that before.

First off, before I forget, I'd like to thank Chad S publicly for answering the questions I PM'd him. :thumbup: If you're ever in my neck of the woods, Chad, the :beer: is definitely on me. It's an old Snap-on K-60. Rough shape, but nothing's missing and for $300 including some tools, I think...

Hi everyone... I buy very little from the tool trucks - pretty much all my tools are used, so I doubt I can talk the local Snappy truck guy out of any free rebuild kits. Before I go buy them from him, or from snapon.com, anyone have some extras they'd care to sell? I need one 1/4, one normal...

I've picked up a few different random 'finds' lately, and some had a few not-quite-working tools mixed in. Any hints on how to get these tools working again? First picture is a Snap-on 3/4 drive 1.5" impact socket. I tried to put it on my 3/4 drive ratchet, but to my surprise it wouldn't fit...

Here's a list of what I'm looking for. Prefer to buy more than one at a time, to save on shipping and effort, but this isn't a hard-and-fast rule if the price is right. IM160 (1/2 drive 1/2" impact) IM240 (1/2 drive 3/4" impact) TW261 (1/2 drive 13/16" non-impact mid-length) FS181 (3/8 drive...

I have a bunch of cheesy tire gauges with obviously incorrect low readings. (i.e., well-inflated tires on a 3500 pound car reading 5psi) Got all excited when I found a John Deere tire gauge from my uncle's old shop, but it seems to have the same problem. I seem to recall they work better when...

Here's the scoop. I've bought batches of tools from a bunch of people in the past, and then last fall I was blessed to get a great deal on a Snappy chest and tools from a mechanic's estate. He took pretty decent care of his stuff but it seems like every socket set is missing a socket or two. On...

Hi there! I have an old Blue-Point ETBSL365 cordless screwdriver. Works great when I charge it - for about 2 minutes. Batteries are old and won't hold a charge. I can find replacement batteries and I can install them - I've made replacement packs for cordless phones and the like before. I...

Hi there! I bought a few large lots of tools to outfit my garage, and in the process picked up some stuff I probably won't end up using. So, without further ado: 1. Clutch aligners - 11 of 'em. Most are in good shape, although a few show signs of significant use. Asking $20 + shipping. 2...
