    1950's Porter Cable Speedmatic 8-1/4" power saw

    Thanks fellas, All it took was a 5/8" wrench and a moderate whackk with a mallet. That was it! The "tines" on the bolt have pretty much flattened after all this time, diminishing the effectiveness of the spring effect. Probably this is commonplace. I'll try springing them back a bit. The...

    1950's Porter Cable Speedmatic 8-1/4" power saw

    Picked one up at flea market yesterday. Seems like she'll clean up fine enough except I can't remove the blade. The bolt feels like it has fused to the internal female thread and just keeps spinning and spinning. I just applied a dose of blaster and plan to check in the AM. Something tells me it...

    Help ID the Coolest Pair of Pliers

    Yes, I suppose I could except, I'm not set up for that really. Plus, I'd probably screw them up! Maybe I'll try selling them on ebay. Not sure yet. I actually picked up some other interesting tools that day at the flea market too.

    Help ID the Coolest Pair of Pliers

    Fellas, you know what I like the most is the looks of them, primarily. Their function almost seems irrelevant!! Lol To me, it's a wonderful example of artistry and engineering in the form of a pair of pliers. Thank you all for your interest, comments and soforth.

Still, it sure would be nice to actually see an identical pair. A pair with those very same beautiful, elegant and reptile-like contour lines as on mine. They're...

    Hi Fellas, Picked these up at flea market. I think they're so freakin' cool looking! Trouble is...no identifiers marked! Was hoping for some help with these. Why would these be manufactured with no bragging rights?! I just don't get it! Thanks
