The "Craftsman alternate" thread got me thinking; I have a MAC air ratchet and a S/O 1/2" impact out for repair at the moment/ and being as how I currently do not have direct access to the respective trucks, I had to take them to a buddy that works at a dealer where they stop at regularly, to...

I posted a thread last weekend about buying a Snapon YA 642 via CL for $60 last week, and asked about who may have built my long chassis 4 ton Sears jack. I don't think I got a single damn response. I hope this one is different. there is again a Snap on YA 642 on CL this one "needs...

I used to be an alignment guy for 18 years. Got out of wrenching in 05, for "greener grass" in industrial maintenance, as a millwright. Had my double bank Matco box brought home on a roll back tow truck, which has been in my home garage since 2005. I also have a Mac, a "cheaper" top n bottom...

I am doing an inventory of sorts on my tool chest, and took a box of broken/worn out Mac and SO to my buddy that is a mechanic at a dealer to get warrantied for me. Crapsman is easy to get situated, but I have a couple of Proto extensions that no longer hold their sockets, which is an...

and got a question on my other one. Calling Hi Ball! The deal I got yesterday---an older Snapon YA 642 (made by Walker/Lincoln) off of CL for a whole $60... very clean, looks barely used, works fine, and not a leaker/ there were 2 "problems" why the PO sold it; 1) the piece that goes in the...

I have recently bought myself an older above ground 2 post hoist via CL; the hoist is still apart from when I took it down from where I bought it, and I have a source to get some of the "more easily handled" parts, powdercoated. there are a couple parts we are debating on just spray painting...

I have run into this before with other compressors I have worked with over the years, mine never seemed to do this but now it is; First let me say that my compressor is an Emglo 1987 vintage, 5HP 220-powered, 80 gallon upright with a 2 stage 4 cylinder pump. I am not sure I think it may be a...

About 10-12 years ago I bought a 10X12 shed with a "1/2 loft" (the back 6' deep and all the way across) from a lumber yard that went out of business, this wa sone of their "demo" models in the parking lot... I borrowed a trailer and brought it home, and rolled it off by putting a couple of...

No not the material the machine is made from; but the material it is meant to weld... Anyone have exp welding plastic? I recently bought a Seelye Model #63 as I have some ABS dashboard panels I want to try and fix (namely for my plymouth Volare restomod) along with making custom gauge...
