Fellas - Bought a Quincy compressor in 2011. Used it a few years and then it was in storage while I was stationed in Korea from 2013-2015. It's on it's way over to Italy from the U.S. (along with the rest of my tools) and should be here in a few weeks. It's a QTS series - 251CS80VCB. It's...

Fellas - The garage in my new rental house is located on the basement level. Has 4 windows. Two of them have glass, the other two are open -- just have wrought iron bars and some screen. Here's pic of it before it was painted, and before any tools showed up. I don't like humid air in...

Fellas - Ok, so as I'm pulling out of my driveway, turning left as I exit, the undercarriage of my beater (1999 BMW 318i) scrapes as I transition from my concrete/brick driveway to the asphalt that's at a 90 degree angle as I exit. Obviously I need more ground clearance (maybe another inch) to...

Fellas - After two years in Korea (Seoul) with not much success (or effort) in finding tools locally, I hope to have more success in/around Naples, Italy. I'm in pretty good shape on tools that I need, which all GJ members should understand as, "I only have several dozen tools on my list of...

Fellas - I'm active duty Army. Just moved from Seoul, South Korea, to Naples, Italy. We lived on base in Seoul (Yongsan Army Garrison) and I had an ENORMOUS "garage." Climate control wasn't the best -- the A/C only worked in the winter and the heat only worked in the summer. Didn't stop me...

Fellas - Need a speed square or two for general carpentry work. Had some notes from an older post here where someone recommended Swanson speed squares, but in steel. Think he said get 8" and 12". Not having any luck finding steel speed squares; any recommendations on what and where to buy...

Fellas - I'm nearsighted, but often wear contacts. Need reading glasses for...wait for it...reading. Also have to use them in the garage for just about everything, especially detail work. The $20/pair readers that I buy usually last me a few weeks. Does anyone have a good source for mail...

Fellas - Scored a Blackhawk SJ-18 floor jack from fellow GJ member WaltzW. Jack functions fine, but has a broken handle and needs some serious cosmetic help. I had it shipped to a buddy of mine in Fayetteville, NC. He'll restore for me. Would have restored myself, but I'm stationed in...

Fellas - I'm intrigued by the paint thickness gauges on the market. You can find them from $20-$800. Here's one of the more expensive ones -- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GVJOCE/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I'm looking for one because I buy old cars from time to time. I'm pretty good at finding...

All - I was perusing the Tools from the Old World thread and everything looked all nice and shiny. Care to share your pictures and details of your Vintage Old World tools? FYI - I'm moving to Italy in a few months, and will be actively searching for old vises, anvils, drill presses, etc. I...

Fellas - Looking to put together a set of helicoils - metric and SAE - more coarse than fine thread. Just need stuff that you would commonly find on a car. Looking for a complete set, reasonably priced, large assortment. Is that too much to ask for? I tried a search on eBay and got 5,000...

Fellas - Trying to flesh out my tool collection a bit, and would like a few sets of the Vise Grip type of c-clamp for general metal fabrication. Don't know which ones I will find more handy; I'm currently overseas and my bench, welder, drill press, etc, are all back home in storage. No garage...
