Thanks for the heads up, I got one. I also got pair of these (below) for $13.50 to make a good combo, they've been getting good reviews on GJ threads. Made in Japan, Hard steel. While not the same as $7 but it's at half the price of Knipex's that others have been comparing them to...

Nice job Matt, Keep up the excellent work!

Nice job Kerry and also, that's a really nice galvanized trailer (looks fresh) but don't lose that cover, as that might cost you another paint job to match : )

To find out which of your attachments work on the 221, check out this really good list of which ones work on them and their part numbers and what they're for. Featherweights can only use the low shank versions and there isn't a ton to choose from unlike what you see for other Singer models. The...

Outlaws, If your looking for a bobbin case, try to find an original one in good condition (if possible) as there's a ton of China knock-offs, The orig. part number stamped on them is #45750. Having a good one can make the difference between smooth operation or rats nests. However, I just...

I believe Koken uses the same orientation as Proto, and Nepros use the same direction as Snap-On, Mac, Hazet.....etc. As Pizza shows above. And yes I agree; it can be very annoying to use an opposite direction ratchets after getting use to one way. My dyslexia doesn't need that test when trying...

Nice score Outlaw and good choice on keeping it. Despite there dainty look and how small it is; they're not toys and very useful. I've rebuilt several Singer 401's and canvas sailmaking machines. I scored my 221 Featherweight for $45 at a second hand store just before Covid (1st pic). I'm glad...

Thanks RTM, I hope you're able to find one. Nice one Zeus, That drill bit & tap index looks like a labor of love that was shop made

Nice index Oregon rock crusher, I know this isn't a drill bit index per se' but seeing all these recent round index's reminds me of my little vintage carbide bur index made by Cutwell that I have for my NSK micromotor. The wood bur holder tray fits inside a tin metal container and spins around...

Rick, That doesn't look like an actual orig. Vessel Japan part and maybe aftermarket that JDV is sourcing themselves and placed their Vesseltools.com website sticker on it. I would contact Vessel USA (in CA) and ask them; they're really good helping with things like this. They should quickly...

Thanks, Thats good info. I really love my vintage Italian carbide EREM's but need to save them and find new ones for the everyday stuff. I have a pair of Knipex and not at all liking the feel, thick grips and shape of them. I'm realizing I really like having a spring but these are cheap...

I would think you're safe ordering through Amazon prime (in stock locally) and if the seller really is Tsunoda tools itself. I'm also curious about the Hozan N-4 nipper cutters (like the ones above that m6z bought) and if it's advertised 58HRC steel holds up well and how they might compare to...

corn chip, I think a lot of it depends on how many tip styles needed and the size of items you're working on. Wera & Wiha have a ton of tip choices; more than Vessel and pb swiss. I'm really happy with Vessel but their choice in rotating cap drivers is limited, I also have the small pb swiss...

I haven't been active on GJ for a very long time but have to chime to totally agree with Reed (by the way Reed, nice Sony TC-730, r2r in your pic). I've too been working lately as well with some nice Japanese audio gear (Accuphase, Leben, Kondo) and can't afford any damage or over torquing...

Sorry you missed out of these DP's. It ***** but a good lessoned learned. DP's in your part of the country has been a very hot commodity for the last 12 months after covid and selling for high prices. I'm betting other buyers who have been on the hunt longer see these DP ad's pop up and were...

I have the Dremel 8220 12V cordless and will never miss needing to access a 120v outlet and dealing with cords. Its more money but finding it well worth it. I own Dumore hand grinders, Foredoms and micro-motor grinders but seem to always reach for the cordless Dremel. I can attest they have a...

I was in the same boat. I wanted Oxy/Acetylene for brazing bike frames and using for general shop purposes. For sure the small tanks are very limited on what they can do in a shop and VERY expensive to fill when comparing costs for refilling per Cu. FT. as compared to larger tanks. Acetylene...

Good to know, thanks

I believe this is 35 piece ratchet set is a HBR5 and made by Vim for Gearwrench and selling on Amazon for $19 . Could be another option? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062FSAVI/?tag=atomicindus08-20
