    SS Wire Brushes

    I swear the last time I bought some they were dirt cheap everywhere. Just tried ordering a few and not so much anymore. After some digging I found that Anchor makes nice affordable ones. The best place I found to get them...Staples believe it or not. Free ship to store, or free shipping over...

    Merit Abrasives, anyone use them?

    I tend to stick with 3m, Norton, and Mirka for abrasive products. I was ordering some Roloc discs on Amazon today and noticed they had some Merit Roloc discs. Some were priced similarly to 3m, others were crazy cheap. I ordered a 10 pack of 40 grit 2" discs for under $4 to try out. Figured I'd...

    I hate 2 piece jack handles, so let's fix it

    Nothing too exciting here... Recently picked up a Summit G1020 (AFF 202T) low profile floor jack. Pulled it out of the box and was happy with the fit and finish. Installed the handle, bled it real quick, and tested it out. So far so good....except for that stupid 2 piece handle. I also prefer a...

    Proto 9mm 500 Series Pre ASD

    I'm looking for a 500 series 9mm combo wrench that is not an ASD wrench. Part number on wrench should read 1209m-500, not 1209m-t500. I'll trade you my ASD version, or give you $5.00 to ship it my way.

    Do self vacuuming sanders work well?

    I recently picked up a barely used Dynabrade 21039 sander. I do not have a means to any powered dust collection, at least not at the moment. I can convert the sander over to self vacuuming for about $20 in parts, and my pads and paper are multi hole already. I can buy the 6 foot hose and bag...

    Yuasa and Kanon vernier calipers, how do they stack up?

    I just picked up a Yuasa 7" and a Kanon 18" for cheap money, both made in Japan. How do these stack up to the big guys like Mitutoyo, Starrett, and Brown and Sharpe? I've never head of them before, and honestly would have been happy with a $2 HF version for what I use them for.

    NOS Herbrand 11 piece triple square/xzn socket set on Ebay

    Anyone have any experience with these? The design may not sit well with some with the one socket and a bunch of inserts, but I prefer it myself. I have a single Snap On, and a set of SK ones right now, but I'm thinking of switching to these though. I've never had any issues with them, but I...

    Made in the USA Reversible Ratcheting Wrenches

    Well, I never had a desire to pick any up as I rarely seem to use wrenches, but at what I paid I couldn't pass them up. I see no signs of use on the wrenches and speeder, and very very light use on the breaker. Now I'm glad I never got around to buying them before. :lol:

    All these damn CL lathes, here's another one

    http://capecod.craigslist.org/tls/3604057062.html Of course this one's the next town over too. :willy_nil I suppose if I ditch the workbench that my little lathe and grinder is bolted to, a nice floor stander won't take up any more room. :dunno: Yeah, that's what I'll use to convince myself.

    Steelex Forstner 16pc Set, 1/2 off from Grizzly

    Not the best out there for sure, but if you're like me and only have a project that you need one of these for once in a blue moon, then $25 for a set will do nicely. Also, just noticed that they sell South Bend products now...

    Vessel GT-1600EP Impact Wrench

    Anyone have any info? I just picked one of these up for the hell of it. It seems to be a model from a previous series. I've found some info on the GT-1600VP. The VP is rated pretty low, but maybe they're more accurate ratings than what we see over here. I will say that the prices of their air...

    Thunderbiscuit's Tools

    So I have some Zephyr Industrial bits sitting here waiting for a new home. These are extremely high quality, and not so easy to get. These are heat treated in small lots, and when I get them in the lot number is included in each. I found this to be pretty unique from other companies. All of the...

    Oetiker (Ear) Clamp Pliers

    What's everyone's favorite? I have a cheap set, the only ones I could find locally when I needed a set, and it's time to get something worthwhile. Knipex makes them for Oetiker, and sells them as their own as well. The second from the right being the most common it seems, with the ability to...

    Help me identify this Blackhawk socket set

    So I picked this up from fleabay for the nice sum of $62 shipped, but I cannot figure out what set it is. It's no longer offered from what I've gathered from their website. It should have come with a set of hex keys judging by the empty cavity in the top part of the box, and the fact that I...

    Old School Allen Universal Wrench Set #51

    Picked this up a while back. It's a little dirty, but in good shape. Mossberg sockets, though a few are unmarked, and of course the Universal Wrench from Allen. This ratchet is cool as hell. The set seems complete, lots of sockets in weird sizes, 3 square sockets, a flat blade bit for the...
