    New to me vintage scroll saw -

    Flashman, I have a Delta variable-speed 18" Scroll Saw I purchase around 1985. It's one of the "newer" machines like Glacial_Speed described. I have used the older Craftsman-style saws and they don't even come close to my Delta for cutting precision and the ability to do fine, intricate work...

    Fulton Socket Set

    What I forgot to mention... As you can see there are six sockets. They are 3/8" drive, 12-point. The sizes range from 7/16 to 3/4. The pieces in this set feel pretty substantial. By look and feel they would appear to be superior to many of today's sockets for strength and durability. Of...

    Fulton Socket Set

    Awhile ago I dug an old Fulton socket set out of the $2 bin at the Rock River Thresheree flea market. While researching Fulton Tools I didn't have much luck, especially in finding pictures of socket sets like mine. So, figured I'd post pictures on here for the record. I'm not sure...

    Reddish-purple coated drill bits - Makita

    About 10 to 15 years ago I purchased a 7-piece set of those that came in a plastic case along with a "Stubby" Finder/Driver and six bits. The description in the case reads: "Makita UltraFast Drilling Bits. Advanced split point design penetrates on contact." I haven't used them that much...

    Craftsman Professional Bench Vise

    I picked up my vise at my local Sears this past Friday. Actually, I picked up two of them, having mistakenly ordered two. I kept one and sold the other to my son for $50. I paid $67.12 apiece. I inspected the vise thoroughly, looking for possible shipping damage, but found the fit and finish...

    Craftsman pro vise score, and sears rant!

    I just ordered ONE of these vises. Bottom line: $67.12! Unfortunately, it took me FOREVER to get my order through. A few times after I got to Checkout and clicked on "Place Order", the system errored out and I was forced to start all over again. After the umpteenth attempt (OK, perhaps...

    Craftsman pro vise score, and sears rant!

    Just now I clicked on "Local Ad", checked under "Tools", and this vise is listed at $74.85 as in "In-store offer only..." Available in 10-12 days at my local store. I've been checking on this vise every day as I have been planning on buying one when it dipped below $100. I guess now is the...

    This may sound weird but what do you do?

    In no particular order... I'm a do-nothing, a lay-about, and a ne'er-do-well. And, I must say, I'm damn good at it too. I think it's a gift. Yes, I'm retired. Five years in and looking forward to many more. Don

    Smart Electrician Screwdrivers

    I saw these last week in Menards' newspaper insert. Hmm? Figured they might look good taking up space in my electrical toolbox. Not that I need any more screwdrivers, mind you. But, it gave me an excuse to visit Menards. Stopped by Menards yesterday and took a look-see. Didn't like 'em...

    One Day Left On Craftsman Sale

    Received an email this morning from Sears with the subject "Up to 50% off mechanic’s tool sets + ..." Yeah, right! When I've checked these out in the past I wasn't impressed. However... Tonight I clicked on the "Shop Now -->" link, followed by a look-see at the mechanic's tool sets, and, lo...
