    Saturday Craisglist Purchases

    My best guess on the weight of the anvil is 125 lbs. I dont have a clue what the truck wheel came from but several stands around the shop were made from the same type wheel. The rest of the stand is an old ford banjo rear end housing. I felt like the anvil was worth $100 or so to me and I...

    Saturday Craisglist Purchases

    I had my truck loaded up and had spent 340 with the guy when I went back in for a final walk through. The jack had some boards from where the roof had caved in on it and the rest was covered in some snow. I got a little excited because I could tell it was an old one and I thought it was a...

    Saturday Craisglist Purchases

    Woke up Saturday morning and did my usual check of the tool section for craigslist and see a shop is closing not far from home. So I get there and I am the second person to show up. When I pull up it is an old block shop that looks to be from the 40's. The place is really run down and...

    Snap On Ratchet Repair

    No havent left feedback yet. So far she has been responsive and willing to negotiate and also has offered a refund. If I can get a new 80 tooth replacement for this I will negotiate the price to a more accurate number for a well used f841. Anyone have an idea of a reasonable price to...

    Snap On Ratchet Repair

    Will they replace with a new fx80 instead or reparing or replacing with a non fine tooth ratchet? The reason I am asking is because this was listed as an fx80 on ebay when I bought it. If I can get it replaced with an fx80 no questions asked I will do that instead of sending it back...

    Ebay snap on ratchet purchase

    Sorry for not posting an update. Contacted the seller and the lady had came up with the incorrect listing by comparing the item to pictures of other ratchets. I understand that type of thing happens sometimes and I'm no expert on snap on ratchets myself. She did mention giving me a refund...

    How do you install deadbolt in metal door?

    I ran across the same problem putting my deadbolt in a steel door that only had one notched out section/inside bracket welded in from the factory. I started out drilling it out from the front face through the back and also into the jamb side of the door like it was a standard wood installation...

    Snap On Ratchet Repair

    Hoping some of you experienced mechanics or dealers can help me out. I have a f841 with a loose head and a somewhat rough ratcheting action on it. I dont have access to a truck or really know anyone that works at a shop. If I am able to come across a snap on truck what repair or...

    Ebay snap on ratchet purchase

    Just recieved my flex head 3/8" snap on ratchet purchased on ebay last week listed as a fx80. Opened the box and it was a f841. :( This is only a 30 tooth ratchet and not even as smooth as my old craftsmans. The locking flex works good but the head has a good bit of side to side slop in...

    Welding helmet decision

    Need help with this one. My wife bought me a new harbor frieght AD welding hood for Christmas. It is just like the one that I have been using with no issues for the past 2 years. I was surprised and thought I can use the older rough hood for stick welding and use the new one for Mig. I...

    Montezuma 56" 21 Drawer Combo

    It would be nice if it were a little deeper but to step up to a deeper box I think I would be spending considerably more money. The craftsman and kobalt boxes I was looking at to begin with were of a similar depth.

    Montezuma 56" 21 Drawer Combo

    Does anyone have the 56" 21 drawer Montezuma Combo? I am considering this as a step up from my non roller 26" craftsman. Any reviews, regrets, complaints, praises or suggestions? I think the blue would look great in the garage. Any other boxes you would suggest to compare it to? I...

    THE Problem...........

    I just had my 10x12 rollups installed about a month back and am looking for a fix for the same gap between the leading edge of the roll and the back side of the header. My gap is consistent at the bottom of the header but varies up higher as the door is raised and lowered. From what I have...

    Show off your old signs

    Thanks for the compliment Nighttrain. I do plan on posting some more pics but only after I get it closer to being usuable. Six Mile is not far at all...maybe 15 minutes or so. My family was actually from there 3 or 4 generations ago.

    Show off your old signs

    This is my first post so I hope I am doing everything correctly and my uploads will work. These are a few signs I have put up while I am working on the shop. Most are still in my Dad's garage until I get some more interior work finished. My shop is still very much under construction so...
