Snap-on can't really be beat, in my humble opinion. I have two ratchet tools I bought in the early 1970s, both have a chipped gear or something after all these years. I have an old 8" screwdriver about the same vintage. I broke the handle trying to get the shaft to go back in. I have a...

Adding an Albertson/Sioux 1/2" Standard Drill Motor with an Albertson Mach # 1555 drill motor stand. If you take the drill motor out (easy) then you can carry the stand around for short distances. Price $150

Adding items: Today a Paramo Hi Duty 6" vice (English Spelling). Apart right now as too heavy for me to carry around and table it was on is sold and gone. There is nothing wrong with this tool, both the jaws are held in with screws which easily come out, (not rusted in place), and both jaws...

All SOLD except color tune and sprocket holder

Any luck with the Paramo decals? The biggest one may be the most complete.

I have one I have been trying to sell as I am going to move across the country and fewer possessions make for a cheaper move. pm me for details though I may be too far away for anything to make sense.

Thanks for all the good ideas! I am seriously considering coating the surfaces I am concerned about with some kind of oil or other and trying the vacuum method. Perhaps a coating of Fluid Film and then vacuum. I wonder what's wrong with auto parts in the dishwasher? If you don't have a...

Good ideas, especially after all the silly "trash talking" about Fords etc. I don't intend to go off roading with this thing. It's useful because it can carry a lot of stuff and still be a passenger car and the stuff won't get wet! Yes its older, but this particular example was babied before...

Yes, the lockdown. Those who have no real shop, or maybe don't like to read books, etc. or don't play music, or something; they go crazy and maybe those people are the looters. I echo your thought, I am happy to have my garage to keep me busy.

Very true, 2oolhound, however I am planning a cross country move and would like to lighten the load a little. Got a quote a few months ago $22,000!!! Egad, that's a lot of money to throw down the toilet! Since then I have been doing my best to sell, donate, throw away 50 years of accumulated...

I have a similar, yet different question: What kinds of tools does it make sense to pack in our vehicles these days? I doubt that we can fix our cars/trucks by the side of the road if they throw a rod or something; and the days are gone where we can file points with a matchbook striker; what's...

Where would I get Fluid Film? Is that an actual product name? Yes the fires were devastating; fortunately for me my immediate neighborhood was spared.

You would not be alluding to the WAF would you? I did get the word that I could not do it in the kitchen.

Vintage appears to be from the 1930s which makes sense. I got the drill motor and stand when I got a building which was an auto parts/repair business begun in 1936 and some old catalogs seem to indicat that date. Getting the chuck off was interesting; I saw a video of how to do it and then saw...

What are the magic years for those trucks? I have heard that the new ones are not as well made in the engine department.

I just finished cleaning up a bit a tool I want to sell but I don't know how long that will take. Contemplating the return of that old devil, rust, I thought of using a food gadget I got some years ago; a vacuum machine. If you don't eat all your dinner you can vacuum it and freeze it and have...

Well no one has responded, but maybe someone will notice that I am wondering about three things, 1) how to remove the chuck? and 2) how to replace the power cord, which looks pretty straightforward but if there are tricks I would love to know what those are, and 3) Is the big screw head on the...

Boy, there sure is a difference! If rod strength is a component of longevity then it would seem the Dodge/Cummins will outlast the Ford and Chevy by quite a bit.

I never did get a paint code. Looking at the photos I wonder if your Sunnen tool isn't older than mine. That emblem is cool! I think, based on the photos, that the reds aren't the same either. In the end, I have decided not to repaint my TN as the paint is not all that bad and I don't really...
