I decided not to derail another thread on fasteners (And even get this one into the right forum...), and got to wondering how others managed the "collection". I'm doing pretty well, but am always interested in improving the situation. Keeping old bolts is a family tradition around here...

PLVMB Experts, A mystery for Flex head breakers? I have two 1/2" drive Flex head PLVMB flex head 18" Breaker Bars. One with a rectangular handle, and the other with a round handle. The round handle also has a lower hook hole, to allow for a square hole to be broached to slow the bar to be...

Local Jr col Flea market I hit once a month occasionally has some decent stuff at decent prices. Today everything I actually bought was a buck except for the hammer handle. that was $2... I did pass on a few items where they wanted more than what I was willing to pay. ("But it's USA! if you...

I've had this compressor for a LONG time (> 20 years). I assembled it out of bits and pieces; Tank and motor were from a closing company, and I think I remember the pump was a dumps PU... Tank is a Buehler Tank And Welding Works, and about 80 gallons, and the tag has a W.P. of 200 (I've got...

I picked up this old mechanic's creeper a year or so ago after I bumped into it at a yard/estate sale. It appears that it is the ancestor of the new low profile creepers. While the rusty parts were intact, they needed attention, (The wood was about as perfect a I have ever seen on a creeper...

Anyone used it lately? I visited the Stanley/Proto web site and there appears to be a lot of "What ifs"... :confused: http://www.stanleyproto.com/default.asp?TYPE=STATICLEFT&PAGE=warranty.htm&LEFT=left_warranty.htm

And patch them too! :) We picked up a flat, so my son was getting some additional tire repair practice and training this AM, so we broke out the tire tools and I thought I'd show them in action... Not really that many tools needed, and it's really not that hard once you know a couple of...

Not the powered kind, the hand crank kind. I was at an Antique Flea Market today, and found one I added to my growing collection. (The only tool I bought all day too, and that following yesterday where I only found one 7/16 Klein wrench... Friday was much better, but I posted that already.)...

OK, I posted the 6" 54 Jointer/Planer I picked up last weekend, and it is a project. Mostly a cosmetic project, as most all the working parts seem to be in fine working condition. a lot of rust however. I'm planning on completely stripping it down and stripping paint and rust off and...

Stopped at a yard sale today, which was unusual to begin; Estate sales on a Friday, yes, Yard sales on a work day are rare. It was a C-List posting that got me there, and most of it was trash (to me...), so I asked what tools they had (It was in the ad...) The retired guy led me into the...

I have an old late 1930's Craftsman 1 HP Repulsion-Induction motor, and the outside cords are completely gone. It is also currently setup without a grounded cord. since it is a brushed, motor, (AC/ DC I assume) Can I assume it can get a modern grounded power cord? there is no "official"...

Went yard sailing and an older part of town had a lot of them going in prep for an antique flea market they hold every year on the last Sunday in August. then I hit a few more elsewhere before calling it a day. Finds by the "stop" 2 odd SK sockets (19 & 25/32's) and a Triumph wrench 2...
