I was at a gas station in Maryland yesterday and began talking to an old timer who was sitting behind the counter. Whenever I find guys like him, I always ask for leads on old tools and vintage gas advertising signs. When I asked about tools that I am always looking to buy, he made an off hand...

I have a bunch of stuff that I always say I will repair someday. One thing that I'd love to do is repair the friction ball on a nice diamond S-K 1/4 inch extension that I have. I've thought about drilling a small hole on the opposite side of the friction ball and then punching the ball out so...

It's no secret that the flea market business in my area has tanked. On top of that, I have to race Twertsy to all the good stuff that appears online. Given these tough times, I've been forced to travel to the large fleas that are 45 minutes or more away whenever I get a break from Mrs. Horsey's...

It's been a while since I ran into good luck so I figured I'd share today's big score with all of you. There is an indoor flea market about 2 miles from my house. I've been going there for a decade at least and never found so much as a decent socket. Today that all changed. I came across a...

I picked this up in a batch of other tools. It's not dated but it does have US stamped on both sides. There is a small wire cutter inside the jaws. I tested it out and my God does it work well. WWII? Thanks to all.

I understand that this isn't a vintage tool post but it will fix vintage tool threads in here along with every other forum you visit on the net so I decided to throw this info out to others. Many of you have no doubt noticed that Photobucket decided to change their terms of service on those who...

Some of you might recognize this 1958 KR421 middle box from the toolbox thread. For those who haven't seen it, I picked this up for 12 bucks at a sale. It's time to get this gem back into service. Someone spray bombed it with blue paint and tried to break into the box using a pry bar. After...

In case anyone near DC is looking for a cool cabinet. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/pts/d/1960s-logo-original-shell-oil/6560472660.html No affiliation with the seller.

This is a heavy duty Proto model 9936 that needs some TLC. I'm at toolbox capacity and will never get this one to the restoration bench. The spray paint that someone shot on here wipes away effortlessly with acetone. With some elbow grease, a set of handles and one drawer slide (I might have...

This just came my way but I'm at tool box capacity. Something would have to go... What do you guys think? Would you cough up 40 clams for this? I'd have to drive an hour each way to get it.

Yep. This one came up on FleaBay. It's been resprayed the wrong color but it's all there. I'm not affiliated with the seller. I dropped this here because I know that some guys are out hunting one of these rigs. This may be your chance...

By this math, I can retire today. lol https://www.ebay.com/itm/253402885293?ul_noapp=true

Many of us are finding and restoring vintage toolboxes. One of the annoying things to me is finding truss head cinch rivets when putting emblems back on the box. Thus far I have been getting by with threaded truss rivets purchased from Restoration Supply Company out in CA. They have an easy to...

I ended up getting this old Snap-On torque wrench for free. If you look at the attached pictures, you'll immediately see why the PO didn't want it anymore. Has anyone ever opened one of these up to try and calibrate the wrench? I really don't like hand tools to be decorations. I have signs and...

For 15 bucks I figure that someone may be able to use this. https://frederick.craigslist.org/tls/d/craftsman-swivel-anvil-was/6332779106.html

I have a really nice pair of Bonney B10 pliers that I use regularly. The thing that I like most is the handle pattern, which is pretty unique. This weekend I came across a smaller pair of pliers that I initially thought was a small matching Bonney. When I looked, I was surprised to find, "Cee...

I forgot who asked me about this but I'm sure others are interested. If you have a project that requires paint to be stripped, soaking the item in pure uncut Simple Green will remove the paint. This is an early Craftsman drill index. The original paint was scratched up but the emblem is in...
