I saw these in the store this afternoon and they look and feel really solid. Are they comparing them to Dewalt? Anybody else have experience with these? https://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?dir=asc&order=EAScore%2Cf%2CEAFeatured+Weight%2Cf%2CSale+Rank%2Cf&q=cordless+drills

Hey Guys, From this bay window I can see my workshop out back. Is that close enough to solicit help from the Garage Journal members? We have been in our house for 30 years. The center window leaked argon some years ago probably due to the stress of the window unit sagging. The window was...

Yesterday I went to use my Mapp gas torch and it was empty. :( This makes me mad because it was still pretty full the last time I used it and I always unscrew the torch from the top after using. I knew I could get no more Mapp but figured I had enough to last a few more years with my...

Check out this guy. Wish I had the equipment and skills to make one. Wonder how many hours he has in it?

What does the hive think about this lathe? I know to check ways and gears etc. It could be beautiful and functional if restored. Could this have been a pre Cincinnati Machine company machine? Collectability, quality, fair price etc. welcome. http://greenville.craigslist.org/tls/5303057377.html

I noted this for sale about 1.5 hours away from me. It looks like a variable speed motor on a very solid base and frame. I have never head of the brand. I have a Delta 16' floor model that serves my needs pretty well but this thing looks stout. What says the GV gang...

I don't see a plumbing section so I hope it is okay to post here. If not maybe the moderators will move it for me. About 5 years ago I again replaced my water heater located under the house. The exit pipe area of the heater had rusted out again. An acquaintance told me that I should use...

The newest store is in our little town of 22k people. Opened today at noon and I was one of the first customers. The infamous HF smell has not yet set in, but I am sure it will. Yea! Life is good.:beer:

I found this in some tools that belonged to my deceased father. I remembered it as a kid but had forgotten about it. Based on my memories it is probably about 50 years old. I don't believe I have ever seen another one. I can see putting a 1/2" drive socket on one end and a piece of pipe on...

For $20 shipped it seems like a good buy. Any comments good or bad out there? You could also throw in one of those big ol' knives they are offering with the $5 combined shipping. http://tools.woot.com/offers/wen-rotary-tool-kit-with-flex-shaft

I found this in a building behind my deceased Dad's house and have no idea what it is. It does say McCormick Deere on it and it was found in Lexington VA, about 1 hour south of McCormick Farm in VA. The drum looking thing is a stone, apparently a grinding stone. Many many years ago my...

I found this in my deceased Dad's building out back. I am 98% sure I know what it is but first want to see what you guys say and maybe learn more about it. I figured it could be restored pretty easily or it could be wall art as is.

I picked up an extra one of these when they had them on sale. This is new and in the mfg packaging. I would like $21 shipped to the first person who makes contact through email or IM. Will take payment through Paypal. If needed I can send photos through email. Please let me know of any...

I purchased a used Delta drill press last year and this Mortising kit came with it. This Delta 17-924 kit has never been used and until I opened it to take the picture I don't think it had ever been opened. I would like $90 shipped to anywhere within the lower 48 states. I can take paypal...

I have a Stihl string trimmer that I have owned for about 26 years. It was one of their upper end units with straight shaft and still starts pretty quickly. I still have the original 2-string head that I periodically rewind with .09X string. It is not a bump feed so when using it I have to...

I recently picked up a surplus laboratory table frame on which I want to put a nice top for a workbench. I have been watching Craig's list but nothing has come to fruitation. This afternoon I stopped by Lowes and picked up 40 square ft of oak flooring that had been returned for credit. The...

You guys posting photos of the antique vises has piqued my interest in a heavy duty, preferable old, vise in my shop. I presently have a 4" jaw vise that was purchased at Harbour Freight some years ago. It has served me well but finding a good US Made steel vise seems to be the right thing to...

Is this forum only for shop tools? How about a kitchen tool that you never knew you needed. Jut for giggles check out some of the 1,800+ reviews. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0047E0EII/?tag=atomicindus08-20 :scared: Review examples: For decades I have been trying to come up with an ideal way to...

Saw the 11 piece SAE or metric combination wrench sets marked down from $39.99 to $25 and the stubbies marked down to $9.98. Those things are pretty. :thumbup: I don't need any more wrenches except maybe the metric stubbies. Don't know why I didn't pick up a set. :dunno:

This is a vise that I picked up at an estate sale in Charlottesville VA about 20 years ago. I cleaned it up back then and it is now in queue to be cleaned and painted again, maybe blue this time. I think I can grind the jaw tops some and the face a little to clean up some of the wear. The...
