That's good to know. I had read somewhere else that distiller water was better so I went with that. Thanks for the advice.

Thats a good idea, thanks for the advice.

That makes perfect sense. The one caliper that broke had printed on "PATENTED JUNE, 2, 1885".

Thanks for your advice, I'll definitely consider it next time I give electrolysis a try. Thanks for speaking up, that sure is strange. I'm glad, but not really, that it happened to someone else and not just me.

I picked up an older black hard handle ratchet off ebay not too long ago for $20. I love it, easily my favorite ratchet. For what its worth, I don't own any "new" or fine tooth ratchets...at least not yet!

When I did the second tool the caliper, I disconnected the battery and I didn't notice any difference. I let it sit for the same amount of time and got the same results. Maybe there might be a slight difference, but I didn't notice one.

So after reading a couple of threads about electrolysis rust removal, I decided to set on and try it myself. Like many, I was able to find most of the necessary supplies around the house. Here is what I used: 10amp battery charger 2 gallons of distilled water Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda...

It looks like that is the 20" model which they still sell at Sears. http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/p_10155_12602_00961902000P?vName=Storage+%26+Garage&cName=Tool+Storage&sName=Hand+Boxes+%26+Portables&prdNo=24&blockNo=24&blockType=L24 I'd list it for $25-30

Wow, that seems really reasonable. I might have to pick one up for that price

The only way you are allowed to post your eBay item is if it has a "Buy It Now" price. Any item posted must have a price listed, so with an auction w/o a buy it now, technically is no price listed. The proper place to list something like this would be the classifieds section. Also, eBay items...

Does anyone have any good suggestions for easily removing the black residue that is left when I remove my item from an electrolysis bath? I'm been using a grey finishing pad, but it's hard to get into all the little nooks and crannies at times.

I got my stuff from Wright today

I had to change the key to a front door recently. However, instead on replacing the entire thing ($200), I just took it to a lock smith and he re-keyed the lock for $10. I'm not sure if this is something you can do with all locks, but definitely worth a call to ask before spending the money to...

I guess I read the OP a little too fast and missed that part. :sad:

First off, welcome to the forum, we are glad to have you! Second, what are your planning to use this bench for? Meaning are you going to be placing fully dressed engines and complete transmissions on the bunch or is it going to be used purely for light duty assembly work? The reason I ask is...

Looks like a heck of a deal to me!

Re: E-tek Resto's 56 Chevy Truck I anxiously await your updates in this thread. I can't wait to see the truck after paint. I bet it will fly going back together now that you have all the hard work out of the way.

How about some double sided tape

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I think I'm going to go with wrenches with wrenches and sockets with sockets. I can definitely see the advantage of metric with metric and standard with standard, however with the things I'm working on it would be much of an benefit. Thanks for all the...

I went to school in Lexington. You can find those Big *** Fans all over the university.
