A bit disappointed it wasn't an I, but being able to find a 1895 catalog with a similar item sorta makes up for it. Thanks.

Here are a couple of die handles with dies I bought about 25-30 years ago. Long enough I forgot I had them. If memory serves, I bought the double thinking I would actually use it (but not certain I did) and the triple was thrown in with the deal. The double is from Wiley & Russell MGFC of...

On a passenger car? like 80-100ft-lb and 5 lug nuts? I used a 7 gallon 1 HP and it was ok for rotating tires. Half the volume might slow you down, but I would expect it to get the job done. If things are stuck, this will be pretty useless though, you'd really need a bigger tank.

I just found this, but you may know of it already; archive.org has some info. If you search for: Coes Genuine Screw Wrenches there are some brochures. Want to lift a 195lb wrench! I really hope I never come across a 48" for sale.

Here is a pic with a tape measure. Don't know if this help or just confuses things more. I don't think we can round this up to 48" though. The jaws on yours look way better than mine. I don't want to sell it, not yet anyway.

Here Is a pic of mine actually bring used around 1993. I was twisting some 3/8 square rod for a decorative firewood holder. At the time I could buy 1/2" already twisted, but not 3/8". I wanted a tighter twist anyway. As far as I can remember I've never used it on a nut or bolt, just to twist or...

Looks like the one in the 1977 catalog I don't see it as a separate item, so maybe you had to buy all the tools too?

OK, last post on this I think. Anyone who has searched for this on the internet has learned Chicago Pneumatic developed this tool for Ford Motor Company. It was designed to be a factory assembly tool, not a mechanic's tool, so they purposely limited the torque to 8 ft-lbs. Seems to have been...

Centrifugal switch bad? After a few hundred starts the contacts may be shot. I have an old direct drive compressor with the same cold start problem. Don't know why I never thought to use a lighter weight oil in the winter.

Thanks Robby321. That is the kind info I was searching for. Looky what I found in the 72-73 sear catalog. 8 ft-lbs is all it was designed to do. I guess that's why there is such a large gap from the vane to the wall. I'm going to stop trying to improve it.

You are thinking of central pneumatic which is the HF label to make you think Chicago pneumatic.

Well I guess no one whose read this has a copy of the owners manual. I tried measuring the stall torque, before I took it apart, with an old torque wrench. The set up really didn't work well. I think it measured about 5ft ft-lbs. Took it all apart and cleaned things up . All the bearings moved...

Thanks for the tips driz. I'm wondering how well it ever worked. Maybe that's as much torque as it ever had. If anyone out there has used one of these I'd like to know what to expect. Not in a hurry to take it apart in case there is some weird size o-ring I could damage and not be able to replace.

Any one have specification or a manual for this thing? According to the CP web site this was their first air ratchet. I've tried using it a few times but it has always let me down with too little torque to move anything that wasn't free running. Today I tried some cleaning and lubricating and...

this is three years old so maybe you will never look here again, but I have a manual for the UT-2210 from 1986. It is scanned so I could get it to you electronically.

I own snap-on, craftsman and proto impact sockets. I really have not noticed any difference in fit or their ability to get a nut off. I don't use them often enough to have any comments on longevity though (perhaps once a month on average). If I needed a new set I would probably buy a name brand...

Purchased a CAT 10 Gallon 2.0 HP Ultra Quiet Model #10020C about a month ago. I was really tired of the old Sanborn oil-less I'd been using for years because it was just too loud to use without ear protection. The new CAT filled it's 10 gallon tank about 10 seconds faster than the 20 year old...

Haven't seen a post of sockets like these yet. The 8 point (double square) were probably purchased in 1958 or 59. The impact sockets were from about the same time. The part numbers match the catalogs of the 50's and early 60's. My dad worked at an International Harvester dealership and some...

Well Twersty, not much luck with date codes unless you can make anything out of the markings on the 3/8" drive (first pic). The 83 on the 3/4" drive is plenty clear though. When I line up all the logos it's pretty obvious the 1/2" drive is much newer. No date code I could find. The 1/4" drive...

Twertsy The lone lectrolite 5/8-11/16 short wrench has a date code B. The s-k Lectrolite 15/16-1 long wrench is date code H. The SK-Lectrolite 11/16-3/4 long wrench is date code J. I couldn't make out a date code on any of the other wrenches. Please let me know what you make of these codes. I...
