This sale ends tomorrow, 5/26. It goes back up by $10 after that. No idea on when the rebate offer ends. These are leftover sets from Black Friday. They've gotten all he way down to $49.99 on sale AND there's a $20.00 mail-in rebate right now. Set is branded Masterforce. US made by Allen...

I've been checking Craigslist daily for 6 months hoping to find a 6" vise. So far, there's been nary a one. Home Depot had the Irwin on clearance for $41, so I went ahead and grabbed it. I promise you, it is exactly the same as the Harbor Freight "Central Forge" 6". The jaws are V-shaped...

I couldn't find the thread, but we had a conversation about Craftsman acetate screwdriver handle keyrings here. Everyone wanted one, but they haven't been around for a while. I got sick of searching and made one. Took about 60 seconds. I guess if you can find a Snappy/Wiha/Klein handle you...

These have been riding my shelf for what feels like forever. Then again, I never need to cut conduit or pipe, so I guess that's not surprising. Part number 1232BI. 32 TPI for those nice smooth edges. 100 blades total. You can have the whole pile of them for $50 shipped in the continental...

Google failed me while trying to find any info about these guys. I tried in the "Tools from the Old World" thread, but got no responses. Anyone know anything about them? The only other markings are FORGED DROP STEEL on the inside surface of each handle. I found a US company that makes...

Sears has 5 pc sets on sale for $4.99. Each set is all slotted or all Phillips. Not really a burning hot deal or anything unless your store has Pratt-Reads (mine are all Western Forge), but worthwhile if you want US-made drivers for spares. Replaced some trashy drivers in my trunk box with...

Picked one of these up at a pawn shop for $4 today: I've never seen a new breaker like this...just old ones. This is actually the first one I've seen (other than ebay) that was available for me to buy; everyone who has them wants to keep them. It's heavy as hell, like a breaker, but it...

Over a year ago, the jaws on my last two pair of US-made Vise Grips went out. I've been working with garbage Chinese Kobalt locking pliers as a "temporary" replacement, and they are truly a disaster. Every pawn shop I've checked has been picked clean. Everything I find is a) Chinese, b) has...

I scored a Proto 1/2" ratchet stamped "5449BL Proto® U.S.A. Professional" at a pawn shop for $5 today. It's the black version of a 24-tooth 1/2". Felt bulletproof and tooth count rarely matters for 1/2", so I snatched it up. Some of the black is worn off and some clown painted it green, which...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141075580705 7" are $17 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/131005253898 10" are $19.50 shipped If you put both in your cart before buying, you save a little on shipping and it's $32.76 shipped for the pair. These have been shown many times by tool reviewers to be the...

I did a very small amount of work on a friend's car. I wasn't going to charge him, but he tossed two ratchets my way as payment. He knows jack about..well, anything requiring him to use his hands, so he said he's had these for about ten years and hasn't used them. He doesn't even have sockets...

Just got a number of ancient Vlchek double open end wrenches with varying amounts what appears to be original black paint on them. Some are marked with the full name, some with the VT shield logo, and some with just the sizes. Not 100% sure, but I have some black-painted Armstrongs that turned...

Picked this thing up for a quarter today. One one side, I've got a stamp that says "Pat No 1902?7? Made in USA." Maybe 1902676, "Hardening Alloy Steels?" That's the only one that seems like a potential fit, but I can't figure out the company from that. Markings on the other side are worn...
