Got some of my tools back from a friend today... had loaned him some stuff so he could do a front end rebuild on his old Miata autocross car. As he's dumping stuff into the trunk of my car he says "I'll have to buy you a new 14." "14 what?" I say. "The 14mm deep socket." (it was a 1/2"...

Hi all, picked up a 3/4" drive mostly complete Williams set a while back and have been trying to complete it because OCD. I have a thread in the garage sale section on that http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=283603 question is this - this is kind of a silly exercise for me...

Hi guys, a while back I got a mostly complete 3/4" Williams set off craigslist for a price I couldn't refuse; some of the sockets are other manufacturers though and I picked up a few more to fill in the gaps. I'd prefer to get old logo Williams sockets for everything just to feed my OCD. I...

Sometimes you need one... I had a cheap Craftsman one and can't find it now. Had occasion to use it the other day - I had to replace a hood release cable on a Jeep XJ and needed it to remove the plastic trim without removing the driver's seat. Ended up using a 1/4" combo wrench on a...

damn... I've gone from having way too many battery chargers to only one rickety old one that works, due to losing my CTEK charger (who knows where it went?) giving a few away to friends, and my backup just shitting the bed. Mostly used for running the electrolytic tank and using "power supply...

Was thinking about this today while cleaning up some old sockets to take pics of for sale... one of them was packed with some really old, hard mung - looked like mud but was hard as cement. Oven cleaner, toothbrush, a run through the dishwasher, some more oven cleaner, some digging with a...

Has anyone found a source of add on studs for these that I can actually purchase? Or will I have to switch to another product (Ernst?) I can find no fault with these other than the fact that they don't come with anywhere near enough studs, the add-on stud kits are not really stocked in stores...

Have a feeling this may be relevant soon... just spotted a leaking, abandoned valve and I can see why the plumber didn't cut it out. Is there a tool that will ream out the old solder from the inside of a copper sweat fitting after removing the pipe that went inside it so that the fitting can...

Just curious what they would have come with back in the day, got most of one for cheap off Craigslist. I have: Williams H-51 ratchet several extensions, two Williams, one SK Williams universal (didn't note down part no.) rusty T-handle with a Craftsman socket welded on it Sockets are mostly...

Hi all, finally got a chance to inventory (but not clean up yet) a minor Craigslist scroe I picked up the other day; it's a mostly complete Williams 3/4" drive socket set. I am missing the following sockets: 7/8" H-1228 1-1/16" H-1234 FOUND 1-3/16" H-1236 1-15/16" H-1262 Old script Williams...

got this pair in a pawn shop lot of tools yesterday. They're round heads with the knurled thumb wheel, NOT the Easco dual pawl ones though. They seem decent enough, about 40 tooth, feel kind of like a knockoff of SK. Are these good enough to leave in a second box at the girlfriend's place, or...

subject says all... I know I've had to use them before; my own set has the shallows out of some crappy dime store set probably included in a lot of yard sale sockets and the deeps I bought new at Lowe's because I needed them for something. Is Lowe's the best bet for (relatively) inexpensive...

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/for/4844659147.html Looks cool, but it's a long drive for me to check out. When I think Park, I think bicycle, but this looks more like a small machinist's box.

Looks like you just unscrew the big lock ring to disassemble/clean/lube... any special instructions before I rip into it?

Looking for the following... I've scrounged all I can out of my spare toolbox and my local Craigslist, pawn shops, etc. I am trying to put together a socket set for my girlfriend so I'm not always trucking my tools over to her place. Craftsman USA will be fine as about half the stuff I've...

looking for a H-20A T-handle, 3/4" drive - just made a little scroe on Craigslist but the previous user of this set welded a Cman socket to the drive of the T-handle. My OCD wants to have a full set of drive tools... thanks! Edit: if I understand their part number system correctly probably...

Hi all, just realized last night that I'm woefully short of tools in the Pozidriv department - I have the one bit that came with my snap-on impact set, and some really tiny ones that came with a cheap mini screwdriver set, and that's it. I occasionally do have to work on old Studebakers, who...

Just had a thought prompted by the "square pipe plug sockets" thread... let's say hypothetically an old British car or motorcycle fell into my lap. I'm prepared to work on most stuff but even though I'm a horrible pack rat I don't have a single Whitworth wrench or socket. Since that includes...

Friend's dad stopped by yesterday and mentioned that he'd got me something that was on sale at Lowe's but forgot to bring it. Apparently they had a 3/8" ratchet and a couple sockets on sale for $10, reason he picked it up was because it was a pawlless ratchet (I assume one of those roller type...

I know that for pretty much everything there is an enthusiast community... well anyway I kind of destroyed the cheap plastic fan my girlfriend had in her kitchen - I took it apart to clean it and the plastic speed selector switch kind of disintegrated when I did so. So I found an old (50s?)...
