Thought you guys might like to see what a "real" work bench looks like. :) We made two of these for a customer last year and I think they were $5K a piece. Pretty sure we lost money on them but that happens sometimes with accessories if the margin is big enough on the system. They were built...

I had to take the cap off the riser for my septic tank and realized I didn't have a strap wrench, my largest pipe wrench wasn't quite big enough. The PVC was just spinning because it wasn't attached to anything at the bottom. I called a friend who is a plumber to borrow a strap wrench because...

I need an inflator for the new SXS and seeing I already have 18V Milwaukee and Makita batteries it only makes sense to go with one of those two. At first I thought of just getting a 12V unit but then after thinking about it I don't think using the SXSs small battery is a very good idea. Do any...

I came across a thread on another forum about mixing 50/50 beeswax and vaseline for a rust preventative to use on firearms. Last Amazon order I included a 16oz block of beeswax so I'm going to give it a shot. Main reason is long term storage of firearms because I have a bunch but depending on...

I didn't see another thread on this but if you're looking for a new jack these don't go on sale that often. I picked up the 3 ton long reach low profile for $155 out the door. Tomorrow they have a rolling cabinet for $120 off. https://www.harborfreight.com/10-days-of-deals

This is a cool video I came across tonight and it's not boringly long like so many others. The screws especially were pretty neat to watch, guy has some talent.

Picked this up last weekend and what a beast. Guy didn't really know what he had and didn't even list it as a Reed. Can't wait to get it cleaned up. No repairs, other than handle, and only damage is the small chip by the jaws that I would ask for suggestions on how to fill in. Not real happy...

I have several torque wrenches that I rarely use unless it's something critical. I have two or three vintage SO Torqometers that I thought about selling to free up some space in my box. I have no idea if these are worth $40 or $100, have both 3/8 and 1/4". Thought about asking my local dealer...

I probably ought to have my head examined but I ordered two of them. If they only last a year or two it will be worth it. Many people have had good luck with made in China clones especially the Harbor Freight Predator motors. Bought the 58cc and 25cc top handle, wish me luck and follow at your...

I'm getting rid of some stuff and one of the things on the list is this pump. Only problem is I have no idea if it's worth $50 or $200. I couldn't find a model number on it but there is a serial number. Lots of smart guys posting here so I thought one of you might be able to help me out.

I haven't fired it up yet but I'm pretty excited. It has over 1 HP more than my MS441 but weights .7 pounds less. So I guess I will probably sell the 441 to get some of the money back. We had three or four large trees go down out back in a wind storm a couple weeks ago. Anyone have one and...

Needed a 22mm the other day and didn't have one. Looks like this complete Wright set would work quite well. If there are any other complete sets with similar quality and price please let me know. https://www.harryepstein.com/18-piece-full-polish-metric-combination-wrenches-7mm-24mm.html

Thinking of picking up this set of ratchets and wondered who has experience with them. Thought I remember reading that Powerbuilt are made in the same factory as Carlyle and I've been very happy with the Carlyle ratchet I have. Reviews of Powerbuilt are very positive on Amazon...

I bought a used KRL-1022 Masters Series last year and just don't have room for two boxes. Not sure what the model is but it must be at least 20 years old. Measures 48 X 18, it has some corrosion on the top and bottom front. No idea if I should ask $600 or $900. All the drawers work great...

I picked up an analog HITACHI V-422 o-scope a coupe months ago and decided I don't really have room for and would like to sell it. Only problem is I have no idea when it was made and if it is worth $100 or $400. It powers up fine and I'm sure it works great but on the other hand I certainly...

Huge shout out to Proto/BD, I had an older 3/8" ratchet missing the ball, a newer 1/4" ratchet that had a horrible action and a broken 6mm hex bit socket. Three or four weeks ago I sent them an email asking about rebuild kits for the ratchets. I got a reply the next day saying we don't "sell"...

I have a bunch of duplicate SK sockets mostly short 3/8" drive and mostly SAE. I am missing a lot of metric sockets so I thought maybe seeing if anyone else had a lot of duplicates and they wanted to do some trading. I don't have a list together yet but that wouldn't be too hard. Let me know...

I know next to nothing about vises but I picked this one up today and need some help. No idea who it was made by or if it's decent enough quality to restore or not. Lady was on some hard times with her husband in a nursing home so I felt good putting some cash in her hand. Feels fairly tight...

I somehow ended up with two sets of these. Still new and sealed in the storage tray. 10 piece 12-Point 10-19 mm OEXLM710B, $380 plus $12 for shipping. https://shop.snapon.com/product/Long-Handle%2C-mm/10-pc-12-Point-Metric-Flank-Drive-Long-Combination-Wrench-Set-(10-19-mm)/OEXLM710B
