    Truckload Garage Sale Score.

    Widow sale. My policy at a widow sale is to pay asking price and if I find something really valuable I give it back. I found two snap on torque wrenches in the crude wooden bench and gave them to her with the info they were valuable. I don't have a drill press so any drill press at this point is...

    REPAIR CRAFTSMAN 44809 RATCHET?

    I picked this up at a sale. Nice but the lever is missing. Is it worth trying to warranty at Ace or somewhere and if that fails where does one get a repair kit for the ratchet? Thanks in advance.

    I've been up and down the usual list in trying to find something to add to distilled water to get the tiny orifices in motorcycle carbs clean. Vinegar, dawn, detergent, lemon juice, ... never really found the magic solution. Anyone here have any suggestions? I have a medium sized cleaner--it...

    Remington Rand filing cabinets - any info?

    I was given a set. They are near bomb proof. You could do a glancing blow with a new car and the new car would have more damage.

    So help me put together a tool kit for my kid

    Trust me, the only tools he will need are a screw gun and maybe some pliers. Tell him to walk around the girls dorm asking if anybody might need some help assembling their bed or desk or etc. Important to do this INSIDE THE DORM NOT OUTSIDE as he will be Mr. Moving Company if he does. "And...

    How would I measure this to get it replicated?

    Update: I took it to a machine shop. The older tech looked at it and asked when I needed it and could I leave that one. I said whenever and yes. He said to stop back next Friday. $65.

    How would I measure this to get it replicated?

    I'd like to repliacte this. It is a grab bar from a reasonably rare motorcycle (Yamaha RZ500). I live in a small town. There really isn't a shop with a small tube bender at all. I am probably going to have to send the dimensions out to get it made. How would I measure this so as to make it so a...

    Follow Up To The Mystery Tool Box Find. How do I get the dual doors off?

    I guess I can have the doors bead blasted instead. Going to have the rails put in a container of vinegar or something to get the decades of oil off them.
