    Fluid transfer pump

    I tried finding an electric pump about a year ago. Wanted something that would hold about a gallon, and be low profile enough to fit under a car on jack stands. Something that would be good for filling (or draining) differentials and transfer cases. Wanted it to run off of a wall outlet (so as...

    Buy a fire extinguisher for your garage!

    Yeah, I'm in the same boat information wise. I guess I was just used to seeing the large diameter water mains in the factory I work in, Figured that was more for a volume issue, never thought they might have to step up the pressure form what the city delivers it at.

    Buy a fire extinguisher for your garage!

    As far as a sprinkler system goes, does it matter if the building in question has city water or well water? I can understand how it would be an easy insurance item if you had a constant source of h2o pressure from a city main, but what happens on a system supplied by a well pump? Is it possible...

    Black oxide Allen head cap screws---have a bunch with light rust...how to clean?

    This. I have a shell tumbler for cleaning brass to reload, and hadn't used it in years. Just recently saw that they were selling them as parts cleaners now, and tried it with mine. Worked awesome.

    The Green Snap-on Tools ****

    Those are some impressive collections. I never really tried to match all my snap on stuff. I went the route of separate colors for different groups. All my Phillips screwdrivers are done in the old style orange handles. Wanted to do red for the regular screwdrivers but after getting a couple of...

    Question about storing micrometers...

    I was always told to leave a gap. However, I did notice on mine the other day, that there was the beginning of some build up on the contact surfaces. It polished out easily, and I moved the mics inside the house instead of leaving them in the garage.

    Well, I didn't want to turn this into the resto thread, but here's a couple of pics. I'mnot entirely sure I like the gold or not. I tried to match the color off the picture with the cap on the paint. I tried to wire wheel the top of the unit last night, and the paint seemed to want to...

    Thank you. It was actually one of your threads that showed me the trick to getting the chuck off. :lol:

    Another new guy from Michigan

    Greetings. Finally got around to making an intro thread. Been kinda lurking the last couple of weeks while I've been cleaning up my drill press. That's pretty much how I ended up here, I picked up a Craftsman model 100 (if what I've found out so far is correct), and after finding a couple of...
