Not a tool per se, but helps me organize mine. They just fit front to back in my Craftsman box. Only bought one as I wasn't sure if it would fit. Going to get another for my pliers/wrenches and maybe more for my DOE wrenches. They are currently $7.99, regular $9.99, through the 13th; in...

Not exactly a tool, but helps me use one. I originally got some of these when my WalMart store was clearing them. I wanted something for my OTC safety glasses that would allow me to read stuff. They work very well; you wet them and the safety glasses, put these lenses on, and then towel off...

Got this a few days ago. Read about ratcheting screwdrivers in GJ and never tried one. Price, $10.97, seemed reasonable. It feels good in hand and the magnet in the bit holder is strong. Seems to be smooth and have low back drag. Plastic bit holder will keep them organized in the handle. I...

About 40 years ago a friend who worked at a local plant that manufactured cardboard boxes gave me this hammer he had used at work. I never paid much attention to it other than note it has leather heads. After reading this thread, I looked more closely at it. The top of the head has "BASA...

Got these adjustable pin pliers from Amazon to tighten/adjust the split nut on my dad's Reed 2C vise that I'm restoring.

bmw, As far as I know, they are generically known as campaign hats. Those in the US have the 'dimples' in the crown as shown; those in England and the Commonwealth Countries have the 'dimples' turned 45* to those in the US. They are also known as DI (Drill Instructor) hats. Lugs, the one...

I did the same thing; I didn't go through all of them, but did check out quite a few. Found that a good test was to lay it on the floor (which seemed to be the most 'level' thing in the store), check the bubble, then turn it 180*, and check the bubble again. Finally found one that seemed to...

It struck me that maybe an crowsfoot wrench with a jaw opening large enough for your spindle might work until you find the correct one. I don't know if crowsfoot wrenches are made with a wide enough opening and I'm sure that some modifications would have to be made for it to fit and be...

When we lived in Maryland we had the same experiences. In the 13 years we lived there I may have picked up 1 or 2 nails/screws while my wife found the rest. I had my shop repair the first couple, then bought a cheap kit (HF?) and tried myself. The T handle on the plug tool broke! I finally...

I have its twin, except it's marked Craftsman. I bought it in the'80s. Good magnetic pickup.

May or may not be on topic, but ... Just spent the afternoon replacing my kitchen faucet and disposal: 1) Finally realized that a pallet I had left over from purchasing mulch was within an inch of the height of the floor of the cabinet under the sink. Brought the pallet in, put some cushion...

I've got a Schauer charger that my dad had; no idea of it's age, but it's still working. Mine is not as nice looking as yours, but I'm glad I've got it.

Ryan, Thanks for looking into this. It's not a problem, just an inconsistency that catches the eye. Just click the 'Jump to New' gets you to where you want to go. I did notice that on some of the threads the comment preceding the 'new' one is dated in July and early August. Probably just a...

Old Radar, Living in TN I am not familiar with TX gun laws, but generally (and here for sure) you must be able to legally own a firearm to carry a firearm openly/concealed, with/without a license. That means you must be able to pass the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)...

Here's a Mohawk hammer that was my dad's. The third picture is from the Mohawk hammer site. They were made by Henry Cheney Hammer Company of Little Falls, New York which was in business from 1854-1954. There is supposed to be the trade mark on the handle, but either wear or handle replacement...

Ryan, I've noticed that it seems that sometimes a thread opens at its first entry, not at its newest entry. I'm reasonably sure that I've visited these threads since the switch over, but can't be 100% sure. Clicking on the 'Jump to New' works. Doesn't happen often, maybe once a day and not...

I agree with Borntoolate that my favorite is the one I'm currently using. With that said, I do have some favorites. I'm sort of late to the cordless tool scene. I have a Dewalt 18V hammer drill and a Craftsman impact screw driver. Both were and are good but since I have gotten the Ridgid 18V...

The Western Auto in the nearest 'city' seemed in my child's eyes to have one of everything and two of some. My first bike was a Western Flyer coaster and my first .22 single shot rifle came from there. Both were great Christmas presents (different years). I regret that I did not frequent it...
