Hi. I figured I would make a vanity thread for myself. With pictures and everything! I recently won two boxes of wrenches and sockets at auction. Up until now I have been using two sets of Mastercraft "Professional Series" combination wrenches, which have been fine but I've lost a few, and...

I've seen Tecomaster branded wrenches at the flea market and at the ReStore. I snagged these two today for a few bucks: That's a 12 pt 1/2 drive so I don't know if it fits your set. I do like the little double open end too.

We've got 220/230/240V up here for sure. Canadian electrical code is nearly the same as NEC, except we measure temperature in Celsius. I'm not going to bother converting mine to run on 220. I can check the casting numbers inside the machine to determine which US model it matches. I also...

Hi folks, Picked this up on Wednesday for $100: It runs nice and is in decent shape, except the switch does not stay in "Off" - only works in Auto. I bought a Square D 9013 switch off eBay, since the original one is NLS and the fix is to replace the whole switch and regulator assembly. The...

Hello all! My name is Malcolm, and my workshop is getting more and more crowded. It is a 12x24 out building that is mostly occupied with an old Triumph TR4. The rest of the space is for some woodworking and metalworking tools, plus our bicycles. The Internet is a tremendous resource for...
