Managed to pick up some vices and a wire caddy yesterday...

Ok, now that a few legit options have been given, I am curious, what are you going to do with 50 gallons of (arguably, useable for some legit purpose) gas? For what it is worth, my 68 Ranch Wagon fired up on 11 year old gas when I brought it home, and I just bought a tiller with old gas, it...

I actually read every post in this thread. Yuk. Ok, with that said, here is an idea that may actually be helpful, as far as figuring out what to do with 50 gallons of unwanted gas. In the city where I live, they have a hazardous materials center, as well as various types of recycling, at the...

Not far from the 190 & 75

Normally I would have pulled the trigger on the spot, but my next stop was an even bigger sale that I wanted to roll in to with full bank roll.. I need a bigger bank roll, but unfortunatley I am going into 2011 heavy on stuff but light on money. I did pick up a "master craftsman" vise, a borg...

Went back with my trailer and $200, but it was sold. Bummer.

I ran across an unusual tool cabinet today that has a very similar appearance to the one in this pic, and I was thinking of going back tomorrow to purchase it. The one I found was about twice as wide, gray (original finish) in color, VERY good condition (unlike the one in the pic, which I just...

" If your interested & local, I would be willing to paint your boxes to match for you for around $300 (labor & materials) depending on size & condition. If not I happy to help you pick out a paint that fits your quality and budget needs, and get the correct color mixed up. Just PM me. " $300...

Since I do not care if the screwdriver handles say "snap on", does anyone know if Williams sells replacement handles?

Since you have the part numbers, and know what the tools are, it would be easy to search eBay to see what the going rate is for your items, or items similar enough to give you an idea of what single pieces of name brand tools are selling for. Sounds like you paid a fair price to the tools if you...

One thing that I like about this forum is the ratio of good answers and valueable info vs "peanut gallery" replies. Sorry if 'corn cob' came off as peanut gallery. I recenty aquired a batch of old tools, including some files with cob handles. The cobs went straight to the trash.

"Where does one get handles for these? I have a box full of files with no handles." When you eat all the corn kernels off the cob, the file handle is what is left.

I have seen the wood handle with copper tip over the years, I feel like I should know what these are.. Anyway, what are these tools?

Thanks for all the replies. ishiboo -"consolidate my 30x40 building and two 12x30 storage units", thats about 2000 sq ft, which would be my ideal shop size, unfortunatley, not possible in my back yard. 400 sq ft is going to be pushing the limits. I am trying to consolidate as much as possible...

When did you outgrow your garage, and how did you deal with it? I have some varied interests, most of which involve working on things (cars, antiques, fixing up and re-selling old stuff) in my garage. I was just outside cleaning up the garage, and it has become pretty overwhelming. On top of...

This was in one of the drawers:

Thanks for the replies. There are a fair amount of tools that have been repurposed / hacked together to become another tool. A few of them were originally Pratt Whitney tools, or at least their SnapOn part number came up on PWA websites.. NAS, National Aerospace makes sense, since other items...

11/32 drice tools, hex drive sockets, and more.. The pliers were from a different batch of tools, and I feel a little stupid for not knowing that. I have some other pliers with a similar head, I should have put it together.. Anyway, I went through and took some pics today. I have searched for...

Sorry for the huge pics, I have a new camera and have not figured out how to take smaller pics (without having to reduce them in post production)

Ok, it looks like the original owner took a couple of long aircraft cylinder base sockets, and cut them down. The Y905 was neatly grafted onto a bigger socket. The Y903 was not as neatly attached to a female 3/8" drive. The "smaller than 3/8" drive is pictured next to the normal 3/8 drive (for...
