I have a drawer full of strays that have been ground, cut, heated and bent for special applications. I can't afford to run out and buy specialized tools for a one time job. Taiwan and India made tools are good raw material when a standard tool won't do the job.

I have a Crest unit that I originally bought to clean airbrush parts, but I now use it all the time for a little bit of everything. Based on my experience, Crest makes a good reliable product. Mine has a heater and that certainly seems to speed up the cleaning process. I almost always use the...

I have been using Sta-Lube (CRC) Engine Assembly Lube in the tube lately. It doesn't leak out at all, after a few wipe downs. It really helped my old SK and Speedmaster ratchets.

Harry Epstein Hardware, store.harryepstein.com in Kansas City has a good selection. I like Wright tools myself, they are a very good value for the money.

That is a great deal on the Huot box, looks to be in pretty good condition too. I have a Huot top box myself. I think you'll be really happy with it when its all cleaned up.

Just wanted to check in and say hello. Have been reading the board for a while now and think it is a really great resource. My interests right now are Bonney, Powr Kraft, and Plomb tools on the mechanical side of things, and Slocomb and Ames machinist tools. I am also a major fan of Huot tool...
