    Kukko 22-2 counter stay wanted

    I'm looking for a Kukko 22-2 counterstay for Kukko bearing pullers. This would be a common item around a German auto or motorcycle shop. I can buy a new one for $120 + 10 shipping so I'm looking to pay around $70. Regards, Slim

    best soft jaws for bench vise?

    I've "fabricated" some jack-leg soft jaws for my vise. Sometimes I use little pieces of plywood and sometimes weightbench floor foam cut into little rectangles. Of course they're always slipping and falling out of position before I can get the vise jaws tight enough to locate them. Does...

    very good quality sparkplug socket??

    I'm tired of my old Craftsman sparkplug sockets falling off the 3/8" snap-on extension I use. What's a very good quality alternative somewhere between HF and Snappie for me to consider. Just so you can get a fix on where my tastes lie, I have Snappie SAE from the '80's back when I had money...

    modest suburban motorcycle garage/shop

    My wife and I recently retired and purchased what we believe to be our "forever" home. My only stipulation on the "new" (to us) house was to have a three car garage. It doesn't compare to some of the masterpieces posted on this forum but then again, neither do my fabrication and repair skills...

    What the heck happened to Big Orange??

    Cerakote vs Jet-Hot

    I have a two-into-one exhaust system on my old BMW airhead. It's a black finish of some sort. It is looking a bit ratty so I'm contemplating having a hi-temp satin black coating put on. There's a franchised Jet Hot shop about 220 miles away and a Cerakote guy 20-30 miles away that does it as...

    best pegboard??

    My moto-garage is shaping up. The Global Industrial steel shelving worked out nice (although a bit more than I wanted to pay). My 1' x 8' x 23/32" plywood shelves on Knape and Vogt brackets worked out nicely too. I'm at the point where I want to build tempered hardboard pegboards on the...

    What happened to REAL Gorilla Racks?

    After 28 years in the same place,I bought a new (3 yr. old) house and moved the contents of my 2 car garage/workshop into it. The good news is that it has a three car garage with one slot divided by a wall from the other two. In my other space I had a real 48x18x60" Gorilla Rack in my office...
