I too have an army-issue Gerber and it's worked like a charm for the past 15 years or so. On days where I need to travel a bit lighter (and am pretty sure I don't need all the tools in the Gerber) I carry a Schrade Old Timer pocket knife, bought about 10 years ago. On formal occassions I carry...

Maybe it's the reason so many barns are/were red - the price of red paint is cheapest.

I bought one, used, in an auction last summer. It was clearly used, and was a bit dirty, and had a dull chain, but after replacing the chain, and giving it a thorough clean, it's run fine since. It's obviously not for anything other than light duty, but I have used it to cut down a few trees...

Thanks for that. I really like that idea, and that it comes with a remote. Appreciate the tip! Ryan

Hi there, I just bought a tool chest this past weekend (pics to follow once I get it home, currently at my in-laws waiting for a trip into the city) and it has a broken rivet too. Doing some searching, they are known as tubular rivets. Someone tried to use a split rivet to band-aid the drawer...

Like Jonjon said, it's not natural. I also tend to go to bed before my wife as I get up much earlier than her, and I prefer the fan at a faster (colder) speed than she does, so she changes it before bed, in bed. It's also nice sometimes to just turn the fan on while lying in bed, whereas we...

Thanks for the help. It is a junction box so I should be good to go. Appreciate the help! Ryan

Hi, thanks for the quick response. Just to be clear, which one are you referring to as "l1"? Thanks, Ryan

http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/powerfist-5-in-angle-grinder/A-p8535023e It's $50 at regular price. Usually 35.99 when on sale, which is often. Having no context to the "after approximately 5 minutes it's like this" at the beginning, I don't know what happened to the unit. That being...

Hi guys, So, the bidding is getting a bit out of hand on the vises - looks like someone knows what these vises are. So, in a bit of luck, there's ANOTHER auction with a vise and some other stuff. The wording is a bit cut off but it looks like it might be a Wilton? See pic 4 for a more...

Thanks guys. It's an online auction with an in-person preview by appointment only, and 1-2 pictures per item. Bidding's open for a week (closes Wednesday) so we'll see where it goes. Maybe I'll check in on Wednesday before the auction ends for some final advice. There's not really any...

Thanks for the help, guys. I'm at $20 on it for now - any input on what the good number is on the max you'd pay for it is much appreciated! Ryan

Hi all, There's an estate sale auction that is going on near my house and there are 3 vises for sale in the auction. This vise will be used - it'll get mounted to my work bench. It would be my first vise, and will be used for holding things, having thing hit against it (knocking rusty parts...

Hi all, just wanted to share my positive experience with Snap-On. In my first post, I showed some 1950s era Snap On stuff that was left in the house I moved into. I ordered a repair kit for the 1/2" wrench online but it looks like it may not be necessary - after opening it, the teeth on the...
