I am a little embarrassed to ask, but is brass the proper hammer for use with number/letter stamps? I don't mind mashing a chisel but for some reason it seems wrong to mushroom a stamp.

It seems like the guys at the tire shop mess up a lot of studs and they always say "you needed new studs." I wonder if that's true?

Sure is good to have when you need it!

I put a pic of a good haul up and got a PM about these sockets, asking what they were. They say APEX Dayton Ohio, which is still a brand I guess, not sure if that's who made them or someone who put their name on. The shorter ones are 7/16"-3/4" and the long ones are 9/16" and 5/8". The long...

Thanks!

Yea it happens a lot more with angle grinders for all the obvious reasons. Aluminum heats up and cools in the wheel and it's nasty.

If you don't want the wheel to explode, you take aluminum to the sander instead of the wheel. I have never seen a wheel blow off a bench grinder.

More than I could afford but less than you would be cool with hearing.

The list works out good sometimes. Photo is clickable. <a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/picturedlife/media/20140224_152404_zps2a56e9b3.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b168/picturedlife/th_20140224_152404_zps2a56e9b3.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo...

Today was better. I went to see a man about this 3/8" set, they're not NOS just because they have some drawer chud on them, but they've never been used. <a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/picturedlife/media/20140224_161901_zps66128385.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

People have their different perspectives and experiences, mine is that side covers and eye shields are lame and slow everything down. I would run that machine exactly as it is and love it. Nothing against restorers or their ways, but you have everything I would want right there and $110 is a...

I think the ratchet is the old 31 toother. It will eventually save me, but till then its just more junk. The hammer actually says bh123c I think, big hammer is what I was thinking as well.

Also, I have started to steer away from buying orphans, seems like I end up with sets later and the singles are just pointless.

For sure, just who knows when I'd get around to needing them.

Yea I just went to get the puller, I think I have a cheapo version of the same, that I'm planning to ruin to get it into a tight spot between a harmonic and radiator, by shortening the screw. Gave me an excuse to pick this up for a decent price and the rest was a "why not." It was either the...

Got some stuff, no incredible deals or anything you don't see around, but I feel fine about it. SnapOn CJ98D Puller Set $50 <a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/picturedlife/media/20140223_191239_zpsf904b4cb.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

This might be off topic a little, and definitely congrats on that score, but does anyone have an opinion on how Balcrank reels compare to the Reelcraft? Also, for the original poster, I hope that little piece of paper or something tells you how long of a hose that reel is for. I stupidly...

If you aren't going to hang onto them, English motorcycle people in your area will want them a lot. Or maybe this is the beginning of your Vincent restoration career?

Grind down a cheapie and you have a special tool just for your alternator.

I am surprised I didn't see anyone already say to just grind the one you have down till it fits in the hole and leave it in a junk drawer for when you have to get at that bolt. I have drawersfull of sacrificial junk tools for stuff like that.
