What a sweet little vise! Very solid and perfectly straight. The date code is most likely: January 1902. Here is a 1901 Prentiss ad for a swivel-jaw version of your vise

Drivesitfar, Thanks for the tip earlier about this thread. I re-posted the info here so it doesn't stay buried in that big vises thread. The tip just might help someone some day. You are right about the "roundness" of that cup looking more original to Wilton, and just better looking...

Great practical tips! Thank you. I had a missing dust cup on a 1982 Wilton Tradesman 1750. EOC_Jason in this forum suggested trying a freeze plug. GM freeze plug Dorman 555-110 fit like a glove in my old Wilton 1750. It cost me 69 cents at nearby O'Reilly Auto Parts. The kids there were...

Thanks for the great idea, Jason! That's what I did. Anyone looking for replacement end cup for a Wilton 1750, a GM freeze plug Dorman 555-110 fits like a glove. It cost me 69 cents at nearby O'Reilly Auto Parts. The kids there were very helpful finding the right size for me. My $40 Wilton...

My New Year started happily, boys and girls! This below was the only picture on today's Chicago Craigslist. Asking price was $40. No other pics, details or brand given in the seller's description. BUT… Thanks to THIS thread, the silhouette alone in this picture made me confident to drive...

Harbor Freight DMM about $5 on sale or FREE after coupon. These are good basic meters, come with battery. Manual range. HF coupon thread in here. But, if you can afford spending $50 nothing beats a used Fluke.

Old thread, but chiming in to recommend Craftsman set of three offset ¼ inch bit ratchets. They are still made in USA :thumbup: and are magnetic. Reg. $20 for the set of three at Sears. The offset wrenches are Craftsman P/N 947477...

Good suggestion! That's what I did: -----Original message----- From: Gary Indiana To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, Feb 25, 2012 06:32:35 GMT+00:00 Subject: product information Can you tell if the following of your products are made in the USA? ODT-5801 FastDriver OD-2001 Overdriver...

Very interesting! Thanks for the link. Do you know about their quality? Are they US made?

Not as good as the Chinese Kobalt ;) /jk Nice ratchet screwdriver. But I like the speed up idea. It doesn't have that.

Hey, thanks for the kind offer :D I'm still hoping to get one locally if they show up again. Amazon offers something like it: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009K3I64/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Also Sears sells a Craftsman speed driver like that http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00947479000P

I have that ratchet and really like how it operates. Clean PASS from me too. Thanks for the heads up on that one. They have a set of those, currently on sale for $8. EDIT: PASS http://www.harborfreight.com/8-piece-professional-screwdriver-set-94607.html I am going to try EDIT: PASS These...

Watch Case Press with Nylon Dies: PASS http://www.harborfreight.com/watch-case-press-with-nylon-dies-91621.html This tool starts $20+ everywhere else. Good sturdy & heavy (2lb) press, tough nylon dies. When buying at a store, make sure all dies are in the box, and pins in the press are aligned...

Most of the new non US-made Kobalt tools are junk, IMO. I just really loved the idea behind the double-drive tool. Maybe Lowes was having too many broken returns and stopped selling those altogether? But I don't know.

I wanted to buy one of those new Kobalt double-drive screwdrivers around Christmas time. They were advertised on TV and got sold out fast at Lowes, so I decided to buy it later on. Now it looks like they are gone for good, which is weird because it was an interesting & fast-selling little...

This has been on CL for the last 3 weeks, or so. Now this below was a great deal from Chicago area. Gone in 2 hrs

Greg, Merry Christmas to you and yours! You did AMAZING job restoring those classic beauties, and I would have hard time to pick which I'd prefer the best. They are all three lovely.

Once in a while I wipe bare steel parts on my drill press with Evaporust. It works fine for me. When it dries out it behaves like water with sugar, leaving slightly sticky clear surface.

EBCooper, if I only had a vise of that size, I would die a happy man :rocker: This is GREAT! Thanks for posting the picture.
