I ordered two sets of the the 3-ton stands last week. I emailed them for a price quote. You can call in an order, but I typed up a letter and dropped it in the mail on Thursday. I got a shipping notice yesterday - they should be here tonight. For two pairs of stands, 3-tons per stand (not...

I got the 9 piece standard/metric raised-panel flare nut wrench set back in December. It was made in the US. This set... http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00944096000P?prdNo=4&blockNo=29&blockType=G29

Picked this one up a few years back from the university surplus shop for $50. I'm in the process of reorganizing my garage, so it doesn't have a permanent home right now.

My God, it's full of stars!

Not the best image, but I pulled this out of Google's cache:

It's a little pricey, but a Pelican 0450 looks like it would work great.

My local Home Depot has had ads on Craigslist for their old rental equipment that they're selling.

There's a Kennedy top and bottom with a few tools for $300 on the Milwaukee CL, maybe the Albuquerque guy will price match... :) http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/tls/2833588232.html

It did have a rebuild date grease penciled on it from a couple years ago. The other one they had in the same condition/price didn't, so I chose this one.

Thanks everyone. Based on this info I found some other images of 93642s and also a Snap-On YA700A, and they look pretty much the same. It was $150 at a tire shop that was selling off a bunch of their jacks and other tools. I had originally picked up one the Arcan jacks at Costco, but it turned...

I just picked up this jack, but there's no data plate or label on it. I was told it was a 2 ton Hein Werner, but I'd like to know the model number in case I need parts in the future. I tried searching on the numbers stamped on the various parts, but I'm coming up empty. It looks like the...

I spent some time cleaning up the box last week when the weather was warmer. I found more GM service guides from the mid-to-late '60s under the bottom drawer. It had a sticker from a garage in Daytona Beach on it, which after googling it, turns out to be a somewhat famous place...

Looks like it has a nice vise on it, too.

Sorry, I'm going to hold on to it - it's pretty cool. From the price list, the Rolla-Bench was $233.37 in 1967, the light fixture was $11.37, and the extra drawers were $32.63. The whole set is listed at 211 lbs. Looking at inflation calculators, $277 in '67 was about $1800 today.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. It's 39" floor to top, 33 wide and 19 deep. From looking at the catalog, it has the additional 3 drawer expansion and the light fixture options added. Yes. It was listed earlier in December, but I figured it got snatched up. When it was posted again this...
