I guess place holder.

Today I was doing my pawn shopping for myself and found a set of Armstrong Industrial metric wrench for $89.00. I could not resist the urge to buy them as cheap as they were as it was a complete set of metric wrenches from 7-24 MM with a dirty vinyl bag. Anybody else got pictures of there sets...

I thought this might be a interesting thread and yeah also my curiosity as a retired aviation mechanic. I had surprisingly only a few toolboxes over the last 47 years and mine are 1. Craftsman hand carried 2 drawer tool box that I received from father and older brother on my 15th birthday. 2...

The other day I was a buddies place and he handed me this old Skill Muti-wrench. It is kind of strange and seemly well built. I just trying to figure out where Skil would use the thing. Anybody else have these gimmicky wrenches. Lets see some pictures. I know about the cheesy Craftsman...

Premium Drill Press Model 0046 AKA KFF drill press I answered a ad for a $125.00 drill press on craigslist yesterday and I have been wanting a drill press and for that price I wanted it if it worked. I get to the person home and the back story of the drill press was it was bought by the...

I have some sort of what looks like a partial Proto tool. It has No. 136 stamped into it and has a smooth bore. I have googled it but all I am coming up with is a wrench for the number.

I located and bought a Craftsman table saw 113.29901 for $45.00 cheap. Seems to be fairly complete and I have not yet cleaned it up. I am just trying to gather as much information on this saw as I can. I do know that the electric switch assembly will be replaced with a paddle shut off switch as...

I went to this pawn shop shop and they had a Ridgid Compound Miter saw sitting all alone and wanting to go home. It called for me to take it home as it was a good little saw with its own little table. After negotiations I was able to take this forlorn saw for $80.00 including the table. I did...

Looks like the Harbor Freight US General Pro line is going for a change. Talking to the store manager at my local Harbor Freight she received a memo to sell off the existing stock of all of the toolboxes (the 44", 56" and 72") including all the add ons. When the parking lot sale in March...

Today I went into Harbor Freight to pick up some consumables (nitrile gloves and some drill bits) and I happen to walk by this guy that insisted that Harbor Freight had a 8' U.S. General Pro toolbox with the associate there. I kind of said well what is the item number and I wrote it down. I walk...

Something that has annoyed me slightly is I always had to lock the door on the side locker as it would open the door if I had bumped in to the tool chest. Since I do not lock the cabinets. Well today I decided to do something about it and I was getting a extra key cut for my Dodge Ram pickup I...

I just saw a Foose Mac tools top box in a pawn shop that is closing permanently after Christmas. They have it marked at $349.00 and one look at the setup and I would only go for around a $150.00-175.00. The handles have rust and many of the tools have surface rust and one socket is missing...

I know that this has been covered in other threads but I wanted to consolidate current pricing per the various websites as of todays date September 28,2017. I thought that it would be interesting and decided to put this together. This basically a thread on 40"-54" Roller cabinets and...

I was looking around and found some tools on eBay today and they were advertising as aviation tools. Well I was a aviation mechainic for the last 43 years and a lot of the tools were NOT aviation, might be some wishful thinking by the owner. But mainly I was wondering if anybody has pictures...

I joined a couple weeks ago and I forgot to introduce myself. Well I am currently recently retired in Washington state and likely to spend a lot longer here. I have a nice plot of land in the Northwestern corner of the state and have been at this location for the last nineteen years. I have 2...
