    Craftsman -K- series

    I turned in a -v- series 1/4" slide bar for replacement. Received the new one in the mail Sat and it is a -K- series. Anyone know who made it? No COO on it.

    Cleaning up Bonney ratchet?

    I've got the same ratchet that I bought in the early 60's and have had the same question on dis-assembly although mine still works great. There for awhile I thought I was the only one who owned one.

    What is this?

    A dial indicator like that could have been used in a variety of measuring applications from centering bar stock in a lathe to adjusting tools in machines. The K & T name on it means it was a gauge that was checked out of the plant gauge crib to be used and returned when done with it. Property...

    Craftsman air ratchet

    Thanks guys, my main concern was if the ratchet head was pre-lubed w/grease or if I should just put an oil can to it from time to time. It works great, I really don't think it was ever used. No marks that a socket was ever on it. Loud....LOL...yeah a little. But what the heck for 5 bucks. I...

    My first precision tool!

    Most smaller mic's came with a calibration disc to check them. Most anyone that bought a micrometer new will have one you can use. Back it off about .020 when you store it.

    cleaning up and derusting old sockets

    To de-grease mine, I'll drop them in a plastic coffee can with mineral spirits in it and let them soak, for a few days. I'll slosh them around from time to time to help break up the crud.

    Tool you have owned the longest.

    I've go a 1/2" dr Bonney A707 ratchet and an Indestro Super 2736 3/8 dr flex head ratchet along w/other tools from back in 1963 that I still use today. I've been really fortunate not to break or misplace very many.

    New Toy To Play With

    It's a hardness tester. You have a ball on the spindle tip somewhat like a small ball bearing and exert force on metal at a given force, psi if I recall.
