Here’s a close up of the mechanism. Swing big weighted lever which screws itself into engagement with a dog.

Got this at closing auction for local garage and towing company, in business since 1955. Marked Patrick-McDermott Co, Los Angeles CA. Never seen anything like it. It’s 3/4 drive and original owner told me he changed a lot of truck tires with it, back in the day.

3" pvc pipe, screwed to a piece of 1/2 plywood. Larger holes on outside were to allow access to drive the screws. Holes are staggered on each side so screws don't hit. It's pretty rugged, but may add a band of Gorilla tape to increase structural integrity.

Rainy day, and I was tired of aerosol cans getting busted up in my pickup toolbox. 15 minutes & about $8 later:

Must've been a good deal. Somebody beat me to it.

I thought it seemed fair, too, if as described. I'll try to get it bought.

I've had the wants for one of these for awhile now. One locally, w/o battery or charger for $175. Guy claims to have bought it a month ago and looks unused. I've got plenty of good batteries and chargers. Deal or not?

Looks like you're in the right area to be a Diamond fan! Is that an Artsway grinder mixer in your signature photo?

ive probably got close to 50 various Diamonds from 4-24" with 3-4 of the 15" and 2 24" ones, but never seen an 18" till now. The green handled ones in the pic appear to be unused.

Been accumulating Diamond Tools for about 20 years now, and never seen an 18" until a few weeks back. See quite a few off the 15" style with plated finish and tapered handle. Got all this for $40. Anybody else ever seen one like it?

Hoping the flooding here won't impact the Malco / former Peterson plant. Starting to get some water into Dewitt now.

Bought this for no reason other than it's cool, for $16 at local consignment auction. Post WW2, Burdens Surplus Center, forerunner of today's Surplus Center, in Lincoln, NE, assembled and sold these. Not sure if I'll hook it up to an engine, or try to set up a jackshaft and run with tractor...

I don't like them, but there's always one in the back of my pickup. A necessary evil. Nothing else will do what they do, but they are always looking for a way to kill you. Learned this when I was about 15, changing a flat tire on a loaded hay rack. Handle wasn't pinned in, handle snapped up...

Had a pair of those in a tractor toolbox growing up. They look Vise-Gripish, but they weren't too good, with no release lever.

Bought my Sunex 1/2 impact sockets almost 25 years ago. Metric and SAE, deep and shallow. Wailed the piss out of them over the years with NO complaints. I did break the 7/8" and 15/16" deeps, but I was doing way more than I should have. Warranty was easy, just exchanged at the long-gone Big A...

Think most of the Deere stuff that's USA was Bonney.

Got same Miller Thunderbolt and it's been one hell of a good machine. Welded everything from 11ga thinwall tubing to 1/2" plate, it's done all I've asked of it. What's the seller asking for it?

Well....Milwaukee it is! Found an M18 Radio / charger with Bluetooth at local pawnshop. Kid was in the mood to deal and carried it out for $50. Absolutely blown away with sound quality. Seems to be built hell for stout also, but it is kind of big and heavy. Now my wife wants it to play in the house!

Lots to consider. Since I've got tons of Makita batteries, I'm leaning toward that.

Looking for a Bluetooth capable jobsite radio with good sound quality and at least some weather resistance. Don't want to leave it out in the rain, but it will be used outside. I'm already into the M-12 and M18 platforms, and Makita 18v stuff. Any suggestions or recommendations?
