    Show your "Long C" Craftsman!

    The first hand drill I restored was a Craftsman 107.1 (sometimes called a 1071, since folks can’t make out the period). This drill is a clone of the Millers Falls no. 2A hand drill. Clones like this were manufactured by one maker for another brand, in this case, Millers Falls company made...

    J.E. Wakefield Wrench Co., Worcester, Ma. - "Wizard" wrenches

    Here's my example, referenced in the original post. It came along with a vintage circular saw from Goodwill. It's a Wakefield double-ended hex drive socket driver that came with two 12-point sockets (1/2" and 11/16"). It has ball detents on each end. Alloy Artifacts says Wakefield Wrench...

    Tools You Own That You Have Never Used

    I have a set of USA Craftsman nut drivers that my dad got me. I put them all in the carry case, and that's the last time I have ever touched one. Lol.

    Drywall in the shop; Pros and Cons

    I like being able to screw things into the wall. I'd probably use plywood if I was doing one. I don't like OSB (just for purely aesthetic reasons). If I had money to throw at it, I'd like pine paneling, but I might be more worried about sparks or damaging it then. I'd want to use my space as...

    AvE's copper hammer?

    Maybe it was brass. Looked like copper to me, but what do I know?

    I've seen a copper-looking hammer in some of AvE's vidjeos. Can someone tell me who makes it?

    Kirkland Signature tool box

    I kind of like the little 'safe.' You could store a tablet, a phone, wallet, keys, those receipts your wife doesn't need to be bothered with...

    PSA: Kidde recalling MOST plastic handled fire extinguishers

    Re: Free replacement fire extinguisher Here's the link to participate in the recall. They needed my name, address, phone, and email, plus the model number, date code, and serial numbers on the extinguishers. Pretty pain free. Replacements are being shipped to arrive in 15-20 business days...

    How much do you have into your tools?

    I'd say $3k to $5k, if you include the storage, worksurfaces, and consumables. I have spent a lot of time finding USA stuff, including some vintage tools that I bought rough and restored, so replacement of everything would not be as simple as taking a credit card down to Lowes or Zoro.com.

    ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★

    Re: ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★ I vote to close the parallel AWD thread and include that stuff in the main thread. It's absurd to have a 'non-tools' thread that includes tools.

    From Drill Bit To Marking Knife

    Nice to see that you don't need a whole forge setup for such a small project, although it would probably help.

    Nothing is worth losing your hearing over. Any chance they can install sound deadening around the compressor?
