Not sure if this has been covered here in the sale threads but it seems like there will be 2 kinds of Craftsman tools. http://nypost.com/2017/01/25/craftsman-trademark-change-may-confuse-customers/ There is also at least one other interesting comment in the article.

I use my Ryobi 18volt tools a lot, for a variety of things, haven’t had any problems with them and they work well for my DIY, homeowner and various shop usages. In my acquisition of used Ryobi tools I have obtained a number of the older black & yellow (NiCad) batteries. As has been mentioned...

I ran across a CL ad (gone now) with the headline "Plastic Hay Storage, Shed Floor Decking, Firewood Dog Run bases". The ad listed a number of uses and pictured and the shed floor part interested me as did a pic of it used around and maybe under a hot tub. Does anyone here know the product...

Anyone have any experience with these? Thank you

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, it just popped up on CL. It isn't mine and I only know what is on the ad and is out of my current price range. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/tls/5908362170.html

There is a Enco 109 lathe available. I would love to get some input on those. It would be my first and I have no expectations of making anything huge so small works for me, for what I'll do and to learn on. The asking price is $400 ad says "nice little lathe for the small shop , tool maker ...

Since I’ve picked up a lot of useful information from this site I figured I would offer up a little info for whoever may want it on the Bosch made Craftsman Dremel Rotary / Multi tools. The Model number of mine is 395 and the Sears number is 572.610031, but I believe this repair applies to a...

I believe I read here where EMT can be used to create a compressed air system. But I can’t find any details since a search of “EMT” doesn’t seem to get me anywhere. That would fit into my “budget” as far as the tubing goes. Is this correct and what kind of fittings are use to plumb it? System...

One subtitle to this would be “Getting Old Really *****”. I do handy man work on the side and between sometimes working on rough surfaces, working in the cold sometimes, and having old knees all the time – I need to replace the old foam pads I’ve been using. They are sorta small and just foam...

Regarding non-canvas tarps. I’ve read, and experienced, that the blue ”poly” tarps are the cheapest, price wise and durability wise almost worthless. I also, heard the silver and/or silver w/black or brown are much better. The question is, are all (or most) brands of tarp “color coded” the same...

Has anyone heard of and have opinions on them and what their value may be? TiA

I inherited a Coleman PowerMate 542000 I would like to get working, but it is missing some parts. The motor is a Briggs & Stratton 5 hp but there is no engine model number where Briggs says it should be (on the frame). The pic is what it SHOULD look like. Does anyone know where to find the...

Wondering if anyone has experience with this band saw, Ryobi BS901, what its value may be (presuming it is in good condition) and any other useful info. My usage will probably be pretty light duty. Thank you.

Does anyone know where I can find instructions on repairing the Ryobi 18 volt P110 (older non-lithium type) chargers if it is possible? I searched the forum but couldn’t find this info here. I have 2 I would like to rebuild. I’ve found sites that talk about the lithium chargers but not the...

This Northern Mill Lathe combo http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_7171_7171?isSearch=143352 has come available used near me. It looks very clean, like it has been hardly used. Wondering what y’all thought I should pay for it. I am a nub when it comes to this sort of machinery, but I...

Is lathe tooling specific to a particular model of lathe - (for instance can tooling for a Craftsman 101 work on a 109), or is it brand specific, generic, adaptable, all of the above? I have a sturdy metal desk, with some useful drawers etc. that I think would be good to place a lathe on. It is...

I was about to fire up a propane heater when I noticed that the tank seems to be empty now. I am very sure it still had some propane in it when I last used it last spring. So my question is, are propane tanks (the size used on most grills – 20 lb. I think?) prone to leak over time? Or when not...

A friend told me about this Craftsman 109 lathe that he doesn’t have the cash for. It is supposed to be in very good working order. Wondering what y’all thought it might be worth. I’ve been reading here about lathes and have been wanting one for a while. I would be a total nub, but I can learn...

Can some of you give me an idea of what this is worth and whether it (or Microntas in general) are good items? It is used but seems to work well. The only thing close to wrong is there is a smudge on the screen, but it doesn’t interfere with reading the numbers. I have no idea how old it is...

I have been thinking about building a rolling device to store / work on a small race car I am early in the process of rebuilding. Having it off it’s wheels and movable (like on castors) would be really helpful considering the amount of garage space I have to work with. The idea so far is to...
