Anyone else have this problem? Because of reading these forums I'm now aware of the interest in old drill presses, grinders, vises, etc. So when I spot one for cheap I can't help myself. I always think, that will be really nice once I fix it up! Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal...

This was with some old tools. At first I thought it was a bottle opener but if so its a bad one. Can't figure what else it would be? Appears to be made of aluminum, no markings. Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Saw this group for sale, I'm interested but not sure it's a $100 group? Anything look interesting? Only the one picture available. Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Through various old toolbox purchases I ended up with a whole bunch of T-handle hex drivers (is that what these are usually called?) On most of them, the printed size labeling has worn off so went through and measured all of them with my trusty HF digital calipers. Found out i had a few...

Probably showing ignorance, but I found these among a big pile of allen wrenches I was sorting for size. Thought torx at first, but the points are flat and extend the full length of the tool. Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Looks like my avatar changed to a recent photo I posted to a topic. Checked the control panel and it shows the hammer group instead of the garage photo I had set? How could that happen?

I've accumulated a lot of vintage odds and ends, but what I really need are good 3/8 and 1/4 drive quality USA sockets. What I've got now for sockets is a bunch of various brands mismatched with missing sizes. What I want are clean "like new" USA made chrome finish socket sets. I like sockets...

Wouldn't usually consider something like this worthy, but wow, this is the dirty/rusty goldmine for anyone wanting antique scales (all kinds) or woodworking machines and tools. Location is Franklin TN which is a little far for me and the specific address isn't available yet. Check the pictures...

Haven't been able to figure out what these are, some kind of specialty tool for square drive fasteners or plugs? Found in a shop that worked on tractors starting in the 50's.

This just came up for $100 on Memphis TN Facebook Marketplace. Looks big! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/572331710360068/ Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal mobile app

I've got an adjustable that was rusted/gunked up and wouldn't adjust at all, frozen shut. So I cleaned in degreaser and then soaked in Evaporust to get it free'd up. Now the screw drive will turn the jaws in and out. Wanted to take it apart to further clean up but the set screw that holds the...

Found this among the tools in my Granddads Old Snap-On Boxes Until I did the Google-Foo I thought it was another one of his "Field Modified Wrenches" and he had cut the opening. Learned a new word, Boxocket! This dates from the early 30's which is when PopPop was first a fulltime mechanic, so...

I've been using the detail brush sets from Harbor Freight, so cheap they are hard to pass up, https://www.harborfreight.com/detail-brush-set-6-pc-69526.html But they really are **** and I keep breaking the handles and stabbing myself with the broken edges. Is there a source for stronger...

I'm aware people collect all kinds of things some people would call junk. But please tell me that no one collects old AA batteries. LOL If they do maybe I should have posted this in the Good Deals topic. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2988409181226552/ Sent from my SM-G973U...

OK, bought this used on Facebook knowing it didn't work correctly. Figured Air Hammers were pretty simple inside and I'd replace some O-rings and go with it. Bought Tuneup kit https://ebay.us/usUyjZ Bought new exhaust deflector sleeve to replace the beatup original...

Saw this for sale, it looks useful for working without a lift so I'm either sitting on a short stool or down on a creeper. The reason I'm asking about it is I did some searching and couldn't find anything like this for sale new, (maybe I don't know what to call it) so could be they aren't...

Saw this for sale locally and thought it was cool. I've always liked the complicated sharpening machines for some reason, if I had unlimited room I could see me accumulating these like some of you do vises and grinders. ;-) https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/637964083691428/ Sent from...

In my ongoing attempt to make my small attached garage (20x20, ceiling is 10ft) both parking and shop, I want to get the remaining items off the floor and hang them above car door level when not in use so I can park the 4Runner closer to that wall. Two Workmates, a 225 and 400, the 400 is...
