    2 post lift question #1

    I am retired, but when I worked I never worked where there was a lift. I always used a jack, jack stands, and a creeper. I did all aspects of repair when I worked for someone else and when I was in business for myself. I've been disabled since 1997 and it is getting harder to do the jack and...

    Seeking info on old set of unusual metal shears/snips

    I am searching for information on these shears. The only difference from the ones posted by the OP is the objects on the left side of mine. Can anyone tell me what the objects are for?

    Dammit. Craigslist needs a spell checker!

    I agree with you, ford33. I am a firm believer that the only correct "English language" is spoken by older people from the deep southern United States. And, yes, it is hard to spell correctly when spoken as it should be. Mule

    To me a Garage is where equipment that is powered by an Engine, either directly or indirectly, is repaired. A car port, or shed, is where they are parked when not in use. Whether it be enclosed, with doors, or just a roof. A shop is where other types of work is done. As far as me getting...

    Big tool box?

    I am very pleased with my HF 44" roller cabinet with 44" top chest. I have used Snap-on, Craftsman, Mac and other brands. The HF General boxes are as nice as the best of the best, in my opinion. Mule

    Garage

    My dad was a Mechanic. I started helping him in the Garages where he worked at age 11. Back then that was how a young person learned a trade. I became a Mechanic and I worked in Garages. Today a Dad can't teach his son his trade because of insurance companies rules. Well I have always...

    Gold or trash

    GOLD, in my opinion. I have one. Bench top mount. I would not take any amount of money for it, but, I probably could not give it away if I wanted to git rid of it. Mule

    Impact vs Chrome swivels

    First, I am old and old school. I use ratchets more than anything else. Now, you need both sets. The drive size is determined by what size work you do. Then, use the proper socket for the application. The Chrome set is NOT designed for impact use!! When using them use a hand ratchet, or don't...

    My Homemade Forge!

    Sir, in my part of the world [North East Texas] they are impossible to find, even in non working condition. And, $50.00 would not even get close to buying one. I have been looking for over 4 years.
