Years ago, I made the decision to go with the 18 volt platform for my cordless tools. With the advent of the new 20 volt platform, does anyone know if I can use my job site radio with the adapter and 20 volt batteries, or do I need a 20 volt charger? Thanks for the help

Lately I've been hearing a lot of radio commercials for Steel Buildings. The advertised price seems too good to be true. As it's just a kit, that makes sense. Our current plan is to build in mid 2017 Does anyone have any experience with these structures? I live near Lake Ontario, if that...

I have a Generac "whole house" back up generator. It came with the house, and I just got it running in the past few weeks. It is set to run the engine once a week, to keep the battery charged, which it does. My wife seems to think that when it does the weekly run cycle, that the power in...

Yesterday, I had a few minutes to kill. I stopped into a local Second Hand Store. They had an unGodly assortment of junk. Among the broken power tools, bent screwdrivers, and other miscellaneous junk, were bins and bins of assorted sockets, drive tools and wrenches. Since I had only a few...

I recently picked up a few Wright Grip wrenches. The attached picture shows some alpha/numeric codes. Are they the obvious manufacturing date codes, or something else. Thanks in advance

I just came across these in a box of old magazines, I'm not quite sure what else I'll find. My plan is to eventually scan them and make them available. In the meantime, anyone needing this information, just holler, I'll take a picture of what you need.

I just found this little gem in a dark corner of the garage at an estate sale. It runs, the felt pad is in pretty good shape. When I find time, it's going on my list of projects. For $12.00 there seems to be little downside risk

I came across 2 of these clamp/ vise tools, I've never seen these before or since. Does anyone know if they are available anywhere? The base screws to a work surface, and rotates, the clamp is removable

Going through some boxes that haven't seen the light of day in years, maybe even decades, I came across an old W.T Grant aluminum electric drill. The drill was given to me as a gift when I was a kid, probably about 45-50 years ago. Sadly, back in the day, my father had an electric engraver...

My #2 son came over this afternoon with a 1/4" drive Mac USA ratchet that he picked up at a yard sale for $1.00. The ratcheting action didn't work right. He brought it over for me to look at, he told me that he thought it needed cleaning and lubrication. We went to my shop, took it apart and...

I was recently at a Lowes in the Columbus Ohio area. I found the the WD40 Degreaser Free After Rebate. Free is always my favourite price

I just ordered a 12" Cobra pliers - comfort grip. Anyone who uses Shell Rotella Motor Oil in the one gallon bottle, save the codes under the cap, given enough codes, get free tools

I recently came across a couple of wrenches that the previous owner had marked with a generous coat of rattle can paint. Anyone have any suggestions to remove the paint without discoloring the tool underneath? Thanks in advance

I came across this in a box of tools from Dad's estate. Any idea who made it? Thanks in advance. It's on a 25/32" socket

I have had really good experience with SK replacing broken sockets. My question is : Does anyone know if the same warranty applies to SK-Wayne wrenches? Thanks in advance

At a recent auction, I recently bought several wrenches bearing the "Ford" script. They were in a couple of box lots with some better stuff. While I realize these are about as common as dirt, I'm curious whether they were originally painted or unfinished. I don't ever expect to use them, but...
