    Armstrong Screwdrivers

    A lot of people will never understand what arthritis is like until they have it. I have a set of Allen screwdrivers that are the same as the Armstrong value line of tools (black handles). I think they are good screwdrivers but I don't know if they will help arthritis. Armstrong had a 66-621...

    Allen Double Open End Wrenches

    Try ePay and some hardware stores were stocking dealers of Allen tools also. I am thinking eBay will be the easiest place to search.

    The future of Craftsman tools

    If Sears Goes Bankrupt, Is Its Craftsman Deal Doomed? It might not happen right away, but it's a possibility if the retailer goes under. If Sears Holdings ends up going bankrupt, as its recent annual filing with the SEC admits is a possibility, there's the potential the sale of its Craftsman...

    Let's talk wheelbarrows

    Years ago I got really tired of having to pump up the tire on my (orange) wheelbarrow and decided to buy a new Flat-Free wheel from Northern Tool. I would think that a lot of you would not be willing to spend the money to replace a flat wheel on an old wheelbarrow but I did. After I did I...

    Habor Freight lies update

    What the???? Home Depot ain't the same place and the products are not the same. Does HF beat prices on comparable products? Some stores want a customer's business and will try to make a sale rather than miss the chance to make a sale.

    Napa selling Proto?

    I've noticed several tool dealers switching to Proto also. Some of the tool dealers were big on selling Danaher/APEX tool brands. Another member here was saying he doesn't expect APEX to be around much longer. At times I try to compare APEX to GM. GM used to have a brand of vehicles called...

    Looking for a new Jig Saw

    First off I would like to say they don't make them like they used to. Anyway, I own a Porter Cable also like the one in the picture. One feature I like to have is the ability for the jig saw to cut angles in either direction. Not all jig saws have this capability and some people could care...

    Pulley source

    That is a big pulley! You might try Amazon once you get an item no/brand to go on. Motion Industries might be able to help you but the cost is unknown without having an account with them. https://www.motionindustries.com/productCatalogSearch.jsp Try asking these people if they can make what...

    Small engine winterizing success

    My Stihl chainsaw is about 30 years old and it has been run off of old fuel in a 1 gallon gas can its whole life. It has been starting up easily all these years. All I do is shake the gas can with premix every time I use it. Sometimes I use more fuel than other times and I have cut a lot of...

    Small engine winterizing success

    I've heard the additives they put in fuel at the refineries can make a big difference in the fuel in northern climates. People say they do what you are doing and they say it keeps them running. Years ago I removed the fuel lines off of a small engine and replaced them with Goodyear fuel...

    Constant drive to complete a set. Evil tool companies!

    I have put together several sets of tools over the years. When I assembled the sets I wanted to make matching sets with the same brand of tools. After I invested in the brand names the manufacturer would announce they were dropping the brand from production and they would be replaced with a...

    What happened to the Allen/Armstrong Closing thread?

    Just wondering if the Armstrong website has gone off the air yet. http://www.armstrongtools.com/ I just checked and the website was still there. Maybe it's a cruel April Fools joke.

    Craftsman Hand Tool Manufacturers & Date Ranges

    I don't know a lot about the really old stuff but I was able to find some helpful information. Some people say they are worth what somebody is willing to pay. You might try eBay to compare anything like what you have. Then you can try to figure out how many have actually sold and at what...

    Disapointed with Armstrong ratchets

    I have heard the Matco 88 ratchet repair kits will work in an Armstrong Maxx 88 ratchet. Do you know if the Matco gear teeth are machined like the Armstrong Maxx 88 ratchets?
