I recently picked up a B&C railroad monkey wrench, and while I find these old wrenches very interesting, they seem to be plentiful and don't command much in the market. This got me wondering if there was a variation or brand that rises above the others for quality, rarity, or desirability?

I went to pick up a Moore Drop Forging pipe wrench locally and also came home with this guy. Is this anything special, figured the cool factor had to make it worth $10?

Doing a renovation of a room and would like to add 4" recessed lights. Cooper/Halo has an "EZ canless" option (CEZ4125) that is only about $16 at HD and would be an easy retrofit. Problem is I'd like them to be dimmable and I can't find out if they are - the box and instructions say nothing...

They offer two very similar models, only difference I can tell is one is 1" longer and has 5 ft/lbs more torque. Does anyone know anything about these, I can't find any info or reviews? They're made in Taiwan and look like a clone of the Astro 1128 made by Kunai that people seem to love, wonder...

I'm planning some work on an old car - and probably also just looking for a new toy. Was thinking I could use an air ratchet in addition to my impact wrench, but started having second thoughts when I considered the noise and how many seem to hate them in a home shop. Was wondering if the 1/4...

Someone local has one pretty cheap, but don't want to waste my time with garbage

I'm planning to install a new exhaust on an old British car. Need to get it up in the air to get underneath and am considering jack options. I could go with a service jack, but was thinking a scissor jack might be a better option - low profile for this low/light car, cheaper(?), and easier to...

I'm looking for a good 2-3 ton bottle jacket at a modest price, under $100, and it can't be made in China. Zinko, made in Japan, seems to make a wide line that certainly aren't cheap, and their basic intro jacks start around $60 which fits the bill. Anyone use one of these? Any other brands to...

There's one local for pretty cheap, but only interested if it's a quality tool

Bought this middle chest today for $50. No name on it, but drawers are very smooth (I assume ball bearing), and seems very heavy construction, I'd guess 50lbs at least, and probably more like 80lbs. Any ideas or help on who made this?

I picked up this H272-C "Builders Saw" a while back and got me curious about it's age and origin. I believe from old ads and catalogs these sidewinders first appeared in 1961, and replaced their worm drive "Safety Saws" which were then discontinued. My question is, did Stanley design and...

https://charleston.craigslist.org/tls/d/stanley-vidmar-tool-chest/6475226765.html Found this listed locally on CL. Is it just me, or is this just a $700 file cabinet? Never heard of these Stanley boxes, but doesn't look like the pictures of others. :eyecrazy:

http://www.sears.com/craftsman-10pc-full-polish-combination-wrench-build-a/p-00938057000P#Imagezoom I'm considering this current production Craftsman wrench set. I assume they're USA made Armstrongs, but no mention of where made in the description, just want to be sure.

Is there any difference between Armstrong, KD, Allen, etc, or are they all the same with different names?

How good are these and how do they compare to the NAPA Wittes from a few years ago? They seem like knock-offs of the same design.

I'm looking for a 1/4 ratchet and am considering these two. The Williams has 36 teeth and the Proto 45. I'm a little concerned about these tooth counts, how smooth are they? For more $ I could get a used Snap On 72 tooth or even the new 90T Proto, but this isn't a size I use a lot, so it would...

I'm looking for some good but inexpensive 3/8 sockets to keep on my boat, don't want anything from China, Taiwan or anyplace else is OK, are there any options? Thanks

As the title says, I'm looking for a corded electric drill, but won't buy any tools made in China (political, quality, and personal issues). Every brand I've seen, including Milwaukee, seems to be made in China these days - does anyone know of one manufactured somewhere else? Thanks, Russ

Hi - I'm interested in a single post lift primarily for parking. Have noticed the SP-6K lift offered by Indy Auto Lifts, Best Buy and Tiger. The price is right at around $2800, was wondering if anyone had one, seen one, or knows anything about them. Thanks, Russ
