People who are getting checked out at the register and then don't seem to realize they have to pay until the clerk says, "that will be ...". Then they have to fumble to get their wallet out of pocket or purse and then find the $$$ or card they are going to use. Related to this are those who...

I tried this and got schooled! I do not try to organize the kitchen and she does not try to organize my tools or workspace.

I have the same VW book. It held my hand as I learned to repair my '73 Fastback and my wife's '73 Bug. Wonderful, helpful book! Mine is a '76 edition. I was the Complete Idiot as shown on the cover!

Here's my Dad's North Bros. Yankee 30 A along with some original bits and some newer ones I got as they were becoming unavailable. It's really smooth and handy for quick jobs.

Double post removed.

I thought that was "chest of drawers" disease - when your chest has fallen into your drawers!

By mistake I posted these Channellock No. 537 slip joint pliers to the "More than just adjustable wrenches, post up your vintage Crescent tools" thread. :Freak: I don't remember if they were my Dad's or if I picked them up somewhere. They are in my garage tool bag. I have no idea of how old...

Don, Thanks, I must have had a brain cramp (or old timer's disease) when I posted those here!

I have the Channellock No. 537 slip joint pliers. Posted to thread by mistake, pictures removed.

Yes! When my wife's Volkswagen got 're-tired', I checked how tight they had run the nuts on and couldn't break them with my 4-way. I looked at the supplied lug wrench and found that it had a handle about 6"-8" long! I bought a 1/2" 24" breaker and the correct size socket and it remains in...

Ryan, I just want to thank you again for all the work you did to get us onto this platform. I've really come to appreciate the new format and the features it offers!

Arrived today, PEC Blemished 24" Combination Square Blade ($34.99), 1/2" Colt & Riss drill bit ($1.99), and 1/8" to 1/2" Colt & Riss drill bit set ($0.00). The set was free (no additional charge) with order of $35.00 or more. The Combination Square Blade looks great even though it is...

I ran across these Diamond N-15 Straight Nose Pliers in my tool box. They had been in my Dad's 'junk drawer' for as long as I can remember. I never paid any real attention to them as I thought they were nothing special. I have no idea how long he had had them. They were the pliers we grabbed...

Years ago I purchased an adapter for my jack that replaced the lift out saddle and allowed me to, so far, safely lift my wife's Jetta which has pinch wells. Something similar is most likely still available.

I voted for "other". I'm just a DIYer and don't work on our cars as much as I did some years ago. My tools generally don't get hard use or abuse (unless I do something stupid, which is not unheard of). I started out in the early 70s with my tools in a metal fishing box and on the shelves of...

Got lots of Craftsman tools but this hacksaw is the only Crowntop Craftsman I own

sweet, Harbor Freight has a similar pad for $6.49; it's 1.5 inches thick. I got one and my wife decided she needed it so I had to get another. The pad is very firm and is comfortable to sit or kneel on. https://www.harborfreight.com/foam-kneeling-pad-56572.html

Google Ubuntu or Linux Mint and on their web sites you'll be able to find information on those two. There should be a download link for the distribution for your computer. You can copy the download to a memory stick (see the web site for information on the best way to do this). You may have...

Linux is the Open Source clone of Unix. It is available at no charge in multiple distributions (flavors). Updates to Linux and programs are also free. I converted all of our computers from Windows to Linux between ten and fifteen years ago. It is very stable (no Blue Screens of Death) and is...

This Is very true. I always counseled parents of new Scouts to look into other Troops if they or their son felt they were not getting what they need from our Troop. A transfer was much preferable to a youth dropping out of the program.
