The ones I really liked were BAHCO's, they were much better made than the current crecents. Mine were bought 10+ years ago and were made in Sweden. Not sure where the current ones were made.

I am also in the same situation, I have a 7 drawer Craftsman Machinist chester that looks like a Kennedy 520. Need to replace the felt. What is the best way to remove the old felt? Scraper blade or chemicals? Any good hint on how to remove the paint? I am hoping it is not going to be too...

I got one of these for free but I never figure out how to use it, seems it jut stay the same whichever hole I stick my tool in.

Arrived today! Very well packed and very happy with the purchase. Thanks for the good deal, these tools will be put to good use.

My SK 1/2" takes all the abuse I throw at it. Cheap too, think it was $12 shipped from here. This and a 3/8" SK 45170 I paid $3 at a pawnshop were the public ratchets that gets used like a dirty ***** at my shop. Just keep them well lubed and they will keep working. Also consider Cman =v=...

For that price I can probably get someone to fabricate it in Stainless.

I used similar for gas nozzles on ranges, ovens and other gas parts, NPT fitting etc. It does grip better then 12pt as the brass are kind of soft and oftentimes the parts are heat annealed.

I'll skip the Chicom Cman and buy Kleins instead.

Since collectively we have so much production tools, capital equipment and capacity, we should not let it go to waste. We should have a section in the market place where we can offer for sale items we have made ourselves in our garages. Kind of like a bake sale like the ladies do.

I'll take the taps if the sale doesn't go through!

If you have a bicycle, turn it upside down so it is supported by the seat and handle bars. Crank up the rear wheel so it spins. Once it get some speed use the tire like a grinding wheel to polish off rust, tarnish etc. Wear safety glasses.

I am planning to buy my first car. Naturally, I need a tool box to go it the trunk. On a tight budget for money and space, so kind of thinking about a 50 cal ammo box. What would you fit in it? It is more intended as a portable tool box so I can have tools on hand than a car repair kit, but...

Nothing says "Industrial" like fluorescent pink. Perhaps two-tone Black/Yellow?
