Does anyone still make one? I know I've seen old C'man and S-K but I seem to have lost mine. Current S-K does not appear to have one. Has come in awful handy in a few situations. I mean a screwdriver style spinner handle with a recess for a ratchet or breaker in the back of the handle. Thanks!

So I've tried twice now to visit my local HF store because I need some new non marring trim/pry tools, and I just can't seem to be able to buy anything from them (I've walked out twice without buying anything because the place is a madhouse and their associates are rude) I'm having a moment of...

Any recommendations? I am going to be installing new front struts on my E92 chassis BMW 335i. I don't have access to air tools anymore. Will any work, and what to get? Would rather buy a whole set because I've been told that different brand struts may require different sized tools. I do...

Good afternoon folks, First of all I apologize as this is going to be long, but I don't know how this is going to make sense unless I explain why I'm looking at these now. So I have a little project that I want to do. As I have been playing with audio gear a lot lately, I occasionally need to...

Just thought this was cool. Picked it up today; it's definitely a Kennedy 520. Which is good as the drop front is missing. Sent from my LG-G710 using Tapatalk

Hi all, Just curious what I bought at the thrift store today. It's a flush cut saw, not Japanese style but with a stiff blade and the ability to flip the handle from one end of the blade to the other. Only identifying mark is JACK in an oval printed on the top side of the blade. Any ideas...

Opinions? Gonna clean up the Snap-On box I got last week hopefully this weekend and move my tap and die stuff etc. into it. Want to line the drawers before I do. Typically I use the solid drawer liner from Sears or HF but my Kennedy box has green felt in it. Is there an advantage of one...

Who makes good ones? I need some for replacing cartridges etc. on turntables and it is way to clumsy to use the ones with replaceable bits intended for PC work. Anything significantly better than others that I could buy at Lowe's, the Orange Colored Store, Ace Hardware, or an online retailer?

Picked up this old Snap-On chest today; it's pretty rough but exactly what I was looking for to help organize some of my stuff. For the price I pretty much stole it, when you figure that I found a 6" S-O 3/8" extension, a S-K 3/4" socket, and a pair of Kraeuter linesman's pliers inside among...

Good afternoon peep holes, So I'm renting a house but every now and then I'll get an idea and run it by my landlord and it usually ends up with him paying money and me installing stuff. Last weekend he dropped off a storm door for a kitchen door that is hardly ever used, but would be awful...

I have the Irwin full set of taps and dies, but it is in a huge blue blow molded case. I am trying to consolidate all that stuff in a Kennedy box and the Irwin set is way too big to fit in any of the drawers. Does anyone make a tap and die organizer like a socket rail or wrench holder? Also...

Got these from an Amazon seller, I'm a little perturbed, but based on the fact that they are Made in USA and look similar I am guessing that they might actually be the Pratt-Read with a different label? I am done with cheap picks after trying to get a lock ring out of a really miserable Garrard...

Does anyone make one? I am renting this house, but landlord is cool with little stuff; the light in front of the front door has a recep t-tapped off of it on the underside of the porch roof/soffit. I was thinking that if I replaced the recep with a motion sensor and did a little rewiring I...

Hi, I have two boxes I need keys for, a Kennedy and an old Rem-Line. Both are open and I even have a key for the Kennedy, just want a second. Here's the problem. When I lived in NoVA, I knew of a chain of old school locksmiths as well as another decent locksmith shop, so I had three choices...

I just picked one up tonight and if a Marketplace seller ever gets back to me I will pick up another either tomorrow or the day after... one question. Which is older, the ones with the rectangular pulls on the drop front and drawers, or the ones with the round shiny (chrome or stainless?)...

In my possession I have a "Central" 1-2" micrometer that apparently has seen some use and abuse, would like to completely disassemble and clean it. What should I use to lube the barrel when I put it back together, or doesn't it really matter? I know new ones are cheap but I got this for free...

So I tried something today... landlord had a bucket of rusty old tools and said I could pick what I wanted. One of the items was an old combination square. (yes, I know I can buy a new one for $10 or so. Just bear with me; I like playing with old stuff. There was other stuff in the bucket...

Is there a way to do it? Reason I ask is it seems that my local store doesn't ever have the few things that I want to buy (those cheap little jumper leads with alligator clips; the Ames laser thermometer, or Super Lube) but I don't see on their web site any way to check store stock other than...

Hi all, I have a four piece XZN set that I've had for ages but it seems that now you need at least 10 sizes? May be time to step up my tool game. Are Neiko branded ones any good, they seem very inexpensive but are Taiwan made if I am not mistaken? Any others? I'm definitely not a pro, just...

I have a Milwaukee 1620-1 drill - big heavy duty sucker - that was given to me by a friend's father who is a retired master electrician. One of those "if you can fix it it's yours" deals. (I fixed his other monster drill for him a few years ago so I guess he figured he owed me one.) According...
