I purchased on older Optivisor off of eBay in hopes of getting something of better quality than current Optivisor production. Look for the aluminum headband knobs vs. plastic. At 55 years old, this thing is a Godsend for intricate work.

Nice restoration work! Did you replace the pipe jaws also? They look perfect. Kevin's replacement parts are so excellent they're superior to oem! How often do you find that?:beer:

You guys are great! There are a lot of good ideas here. NUTTSGT, I've got to have a Zoom Spout - even just for light machine oil. I stopped at a Bernina store this morning, but they had nothing quite like that. There are many options on eBay that all seem to have different private labels...

To ask them what they recommend? They'll probably suggest like the above - buy another 8 oz can to use that. That or they'll say my partial gallon is expired and to recycle it and buy another!

Wrong answer. :lol_hitti I've got a lifetime supply of Kroil. I'm not buying more to get the can!

Lol, that's the perfect answer! In case I can't find the needle in the haystack, any other suggestions? I'm thinking maybe a small needle oiler.

A friend gave me a gallon can 2/3 full of Kroil that I've been trying to find a suitable container for ever since he gifted me the can a few years ago. First, I tried dispensing it in a brass Eagle oil can. The Kroil seems to react with the metal after sitting for several months. I'm still...

I have a 60" and like the rest, recommend the 48".:lol_hitti The must have jack accessory is the Jack Mate: http://www.jackmate.com/ :pimpflash

Nice looking screwdrivers! Where's the best place to buy them?

How tall is that bench? I like one that when I stand next to it, my forearms are fairly parallel to the ground. I don't want to be bending over to work on something for hours. I have a few maple butcher block top workbenches and like them. They are very sturdy, especially given that they're...

I'd be interested in one of the recent 3/8" drive #80200 tear drop ratchets. At $92.69 Father's Day special VS. HJE $57.95, lemme think about that:headscrat

**OLD THREAD ALERT!!** Just following this up with new information here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7214874#post7214874

Thanks for the great tip! Despite that I'm set, I couldn't help but to purchase this. It might be better than what I made!

Yes, there is a reproduction Eagle 66 available: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eagle-66-Replica-Oil-Can/142800410372?hash=item213f915704:g:-EgAAOSwZela6dol :pimpflash:lol_hitti I love those emoticons! My grandfather had a couple of the brass Eagle 66 cans. About 15 years ago, I got fed up with the...

I tried an M18 X 1.5 bolt, but it was too heavy. I like the idea of the O2 sensor plug - that's a great idea!:bowdown:

I believe those caps are for a newer model. I checked the vendor that sells all of the different colored ones, but it won't fit this model. Wyoming, MN - my dad was raised there!:beer:

There are many of the discontinued Snap On magnetic drivers (SSDM40) in the wild that are relegated to the bottom of the toolbox because they're missing the NLA end cap. I like the black hard handles, but need the cap so I don't loose the bits. Step one: determine the thread size needed for...

I've got speed handles in 3/8" and 1/2" drive. I like them because they're quiet - I don't need to listen to the compressor. I use them fairly often, especially like today - rotating four tires with six lugs.:thumbup: I did pick up a Plomb 1/2" #5469 - speed handle with the flex head end that...

It already happened! It was known as the Samsung Galaxy S7!:evil:

That's exactly the experience I've had around here. I'm sure deals do exist, but your experience has been my experience about 100% of the time, so I no longer stop to look.
