    need a good set of combo wrenches

    If I didn't already have 6 sets of SAE wrenches and 2 metric sets, I would buy a brand new set of Williams Supercombos off EBay or a discount retailer. They're made here (of course) and represent the best value I've seen on the market. I have the rebranded CAT set (paid a lot more for those).

    Want to buy a couple of hammers, HF or better brand?

    The occasional swap meet or yard sale can provide some good hammers at very little cost. I have an old Vaughan ballpeen that I got for two bucks and a Vaughan claw hammer that I found in a car I was scrapping out (free).

    Ratcheting Wrenches: Reversible Essential to You?

    I have both Matco and C-man ratcheting wrenches w/out the reverse. They have served me well....if I really need the offset I just grab a regular wrench.

    CRAFTSMAN roll cab C.O.O.?

    I just got to wondering....was my 2004 Craftsman Ball Bearing Griplatch roll cab made here? It's currently halfway across the country, so I can't take a look at it or my paperwork from when I got it new. I bought a lot of other C-man at the time ( mostly Professional pieces) and they were...

    NAPA tools, any good? This looks like a good deal.

    If they're not the Evercraft Taiwan pieces, they're probably made in the USA....but make sure.

    old Snap-On 23 key holder board

    I recently picked this out of an abandoned storage unit for five bucks. The part number is SPP-536. Unfortunately, it's missing almost all of the small metal hooks for the keys. Should I get in touch with SO about the hooks or just go to the hardware store? This item is discontinued.

    sunday morning yard sale

    Man, that vise is identical to the one I was trying to ID on here a couple weeks back. Mine just doesn't have "Wilton" cast in, only "MADE IN USA" on the opposite side. And I see that yours still has an intact swivel base on it....nice score.

    Junkyard vise ID and repair?

    I picked this vise out of a junkyard a couple years back and have been using it every once in a while. The swivel base had cracked in multiple places, and then was (poorly) welded to the body. Recently, the base completely fell apart and I removed what was left of it (notice grind marks). Can...

    silly pawn shop

    I recently acquired a set of CAT combo wrenches that are rebranded Williams. There is a huge markup. I had to fill in a missing 15/16 from the Cat dealer that I used to work for and paid $52 for it (would have been $63 w/out the discount). The whole 11 piece Williams set can be had new on Ebay...
