Turtle wax turtle wax!! I was thinking what to use to shine it up!

Thank you and they are. No dents no pitting no rust. Just the tiniest of surface dust that came off with a rag. Paint a little faded. Not sure if I’ll paint or just clean up and oil it. Just need to take it in to my local locksmith guy and get locks put in and I’m super stoked about them.

Hello friends of garage journal. Hope everyone’s doing good especially anyone in rough weather areas. Just wanted to show off a bit what I picked up today I’m very excite. I got both these boxes for $80! Gentleman didn’t seem to care letting it go and I thought was awesome for 80 bucks.

Hello wonderful garage journal community. Just some more swapmeet finds at a bargain. Found these 2 tools for a buck each. Older gentleman selling them in a bucket full of off brand tools and I insisted him keeping change from 5 dollars. Little by little putting good tools together from treasure...

Hard find Snap On MT-630 batter charger. Tested and works. 6v and 12v. Pretty rare item and very cool I think. Shoot offers.

My dad went through it and deemed it okay enough for a quick turn on. But will not be using it it’ll be for decoration and eventually will re wire it. And yes gfci lol 👍🙂

Oh okay I was concerned maybe there was a hazard. I thought my dad would’ve said something if there was. This will be a decorative piece but still will eventually require it. And the Main has 3 conductors.

Why would selenium be a worry? And already did everything is good and was completely clean. Some was using it regularly before I got it.

Skimmed through and looks like a great article will read when I get a chance. And yeah cable looked fine enough for a fast test but definitely thought to not leaving it like that in case I want to use it or at least for a future turn on when showing it off to my buddies

Hello again garage friends. If you’re re seeing this again. I posted previously on vintage tools discussions thread but it’s very small amount of threads just thought to also post here. Just wanted to share something I’m excited about. Have never found something this cool and think I got a deal...

Hello and good afternoon garage friends from all over. Nice beautiful weather here in CA today. Was a perfect morning for a swap meet in fall, Christmas stuff everywhere as everyone is probably in Christmas spirit after this disappointing Halloween this year. Just wanted to share what I found...

And by the way solid set up 👍

Had one gentleman solid dude also told me he thought it was a REM. There was another box I was looking at that didn’t have any logos or anything but was told it was a “malco” but he told me it was a jc penny from a certain year and was the exact one. And once again blown away the gentleman here...

Second post on this box just bought it for 30 bucks. No serial number I looked everywhere. No stamps no stickers. Slides are metal on metal no ball bearings. Did older small boxes like this come with ball bearing? Is metal on metal slides a sign of lower quality brand? Has locking drawers when...

I was hoping it’d be a good box but just saw sellers page. He’s selling snap on tools for super high prices so doubting he’d be selling this box for 20 bucks if it was a good brand right?

Holy smokes I’ll be damned if you didn’t hit the nail on the head that looks like a oc penny box!! And yes looked up remline looks just like the other!! Thank you so much. Would you think the remline is USA maybe? Looks old enough? Just want it for a few common tools for junk yard sockets a...

Does anyone recognize this 5 drawer box? Also was told the 2 drawer is a Malco. Out of the 2 which would you pick. Both are 30 bucks. Does the Malco look old enough to be USA?

Hello amazing Garage Journal community hope all is well where you may be. Weather was nice today after a hot one now winding down to a nice afternoon perfect for scrolling the threads. I found this box on OfferUp and seller doesn’t know brand doesn’t have your classic logo up front. Anyone...

Hello Amazing GarageJournal community. Picked up this fellow at my local swapmeet for 12 bucks. Part number 2736 Indestro Super. I have seen Indestro before but nothing to say Super on it. Did I get a good deal and how is this brand compared to snap on?
