This is my workshop thread! My shop is a 12x24 stick framed building on a foundation. Our lot is only 50x100 so space was pretty tight. Inside I have all sorts of stuff, including my Triumph TR4 and a hobby-level wood and metal shop. No dedicated power, insulation, or walls yet - I run...

Picked this up today and I can't find any info about it online: It's missing the casters and most of the bolts. Square tubes form the handles, which are bent over. Logo is fairly recent, '70s forward? Shelves are 24" x 36". The weight warning is in lbs and Kg which makes me think it's...

Last week I managed to get a bunch of nice Williams Superrench combinations, from 1/4" up to 11/16". I'd already bought a single 7/8" Superrench so there's close to a useable set now. Some Internet research exposed this vintage catalog, which has this nifty display board: Continued internet...

As I collect more vintage tools to fill out my toolbox, I've had a nagging question... Most of my tools are Craftsman and Mastercraft (Canadian Tire). I know both have a no questions asked warranty, although the local Sears has only a minimal tool department now. I just got some old Williams...

Looking for two or three 3/8" universal socket extension (u joint). Brand doesn't matter, so long as it's not too sloppy or stiff. I have extra 1/2" u-joints I can trade. One Craftsman, one Williams. I'm looking for the following Williams Superrench combination wrenches: 1168 15/16" 1171...

This came in a small tool box full of assorted tools: Near as I can tell it is a New Britain NDF-206. 25/32 and 3/4 ends. Does anyone know what the "S" forging mark means? How can I determine the finish? It's not shiny chrome.

Hi. I figured I would make a vanity thread for myself. With pictures and everything! I recently won two boxes of wrenches and sockets at auction. Up until now I have been using two sets of Mastercraft "Professional Series" combination wrenches, which have been fine but I've lost a few, and...

Hi folks, Picked this up on Wednesday for $100: It runs nice and is in decent shape, except the switch does not stay in "Off" - only works in Auto. I bought a Square D 9013 switch off eBay, since the original one is NLS and the fix is to replace the whole switch and regulator assembly. The...

Hello all! My name is Malcolm, and my workshop is getting more and more crowded. It is a 12x24 out building that is mostly occupied with an old Triumph TR4. The rest of the space is for some woodworking and metalworking tools, plus our bicycles. The Internet is a tremendous resource for...
