$12 is pretty solid tho- ������

Haha! I got lucky - with the ‘rona on the loose the guy left it on his porch and told me to leave the money in an envelope inside the storm door. I never met him face to face... Anyway, it’s nice to bring an old hunk of American steel back from such a condition. Sent from my iPhone using The...

Looking for some images to share I found this link: https://utilitywallet.com/best-screwdriver-sets/ It's a nice little summary of popular brands found here in the states. To answer your questions: I have not used a PB Swiss screwdriver in years. We had one when I was young - an oddball in...

Good information; thank you - much appreciated.

Not sure how committed you are to the Swiss screwdrivers you originally inquired about; and I haven't read the entire thread but I've skimmed through it. If you are going to buy a new set I would strongly recommend you consider these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XIQ01FC/?tag=atomicindus08-20...

Understood. Must be nice to have a lathe to turn parts out; way beyond my capabilities... I had my pump piston apart for cleaning. It wasn’t actually leaking afaik - I’m just figuring these things out. Anyway, I ended up ordering a whole rebuild kit because the jack leaked elsewhere. I was...

Nice work Paulsomlo. That seems like a lot of work to avoid using the original seals. Was that the only motivation behind it? The reason I ask is that I have a rebuild in my immediate future and if there are any “gotchas” where the pump piston is concerned I’d like to keep my eyes open for them...

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago - $5 porch sale. Rough/well-used condition but for five bucks...you get what you get. I cleaned it up outside a little to remove the major grime. Brought it inside to the workbench and removed the power unit. Should have power washed it from the get-go...

Re: Chas. Parker 974 I saw those myself...

HBD Vladimir; Your garage is about the same size, although nicer than the one I grew up with. I worked inside that garage on various projects with my father. It was built just prior to World War I in an old neighborhood of East Lansing, Michigan. It was originally designed to park a Ford Model T...

Re: Chas. Parker 974 I was trying to figure those two holes out but haven't the foggiest idea...they're character at this point. When I bought the vise I had no idea it should have a swivel wrench. I now see that they fetch almost as much as I paid for the vice! I will probably fashion my own...

Chas. Parker 974 I picked up an old Parker vise the other day at a local salvage tool supply. I had needed something more substantial than the light-duty hobby vise I have had for several years. I got about half way through a caliper rebuild last week when I decided that a "real" vise was...
