    Man I wish I went with more cash that day. It was in the middle of nowhere. Those are the best places.

    Is there a DO IT ALL air ratchet?

    I have the HF 3/8 and 1/2 Earthquake impacts. Those two impacts are probably the best thing that ever came out that place. I can't even lie... They have never let me down :thumbup:

    looking for a decent socket/wrench set

    You can pick up some craftsman USA socket sets off eBay brand new, and cheaper than buying them at sears. I use these and their (USA) impact sockets every weekend. They take everything I throw at them :thumbup:

    I'm keeping that bubba... That table cost $100 of the total $390 I spent lol. The guy didn't really know what he had, but he had a feeling the rotary table was worth money.

    What's this Lathe worth?

    How much? It's a South bend 9B with power cross feed. If it has the ALL the change gears I would get it depending on the price of course.

    They're on eBay all day long a lot cheaper. Or go to some estate sales or the flea market. Sometimes you find gold. They're out there trust me. I found 3 yesterday :-)
