    Battery drills and impact drivers

    I just end up buying DeWalt kits. The ones that come with two batteries is what I look for. My parents bought into the Rigid plan in 2004. My stepfather never register the Rigid and after he past away, I inherited a drill kit that Home Depot won't service... (And this is a good clue for anyone...

    Old tools with harmful materials?

    Those are my thoughts exactly. I can't count how many times I have been in a crazy position reaching behind something to see what it is that is leaking or trying to find where something comes apart... with sweat dripping into my eyes... I tried the latex gloves once or twice but I end up...

    What Brand of Tool Chest is this?

    It wouldn't surprise me if it were a Penncraft/Kennedy... The people who owned it before were doctors... so it kind of rules out a machinist box. I live in Wichita Kansas so I see my fair share of used Kennedy boxes that machinists lugged around Boeing, Cessna, Beech...

    It had a little rust on the bottom and the lady running the sale had no idea what brand of toolbox it was so shoe couldn't look it up... I think I got really lucky!

    What Brand of Tool Chest is this?

    What Brand of Tool Chest is this?

    I went to an estate sale... The price was right... Set it in my garage... Filled it up full of junk... never have figured out what brand of toolbox I bought. It has a rough textured paint and the sides are smooth... The drawers are prety solid. It doesn't have any name plates or places that...

    1900's to 1920's wood bench with vise. anybody know it's history??

    Is there a name plate or some sort of makers mark or brand on the table anywhere? Lots of woodworking tables are made by the woodworkers that own them. The St.Louis wood clamp might be from another table, or came out of Sears catalog or JC Whitney... How do you know it was made in 1920...

    Old tools with harmful materials?

    I see a lot of Youtube videos these days with mechanics wearing latex gloves. I don't know if it is for health or because they don't know about GoJo or Fast Orange.... Or maybe they are too prissy to get their hands dirty. I suppose if you really think about it. All tools have some sort of...

    "Let's see your Bench Grinders!"

    Thanks for the upper and reply!!! The logo is pretty far gone and someone was telling me that they think it is an older Wissota or something like that. I'll try and crop the pic and get a closer shot of the logo to repost.

    "Let's see your Bench Grinders!"

    I got this one at an estate sale for $15.00 with a pair of Vise-Grips. I tore it down to change the brushes and check the bearings but it didn't have brushes and the bearings don't have balls. (I may have found Jimmy Hoffa.) The motor is pretty old. it's from around the 1920's She was a...
