    JoCoSawdust -- Don't know what you paid for all that vintage metal, but you get a YOU **** from me because of the variety of brands, and the Craftsman mid box. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Most local sign shops should be able to do the job. But, you will need to check with the manager because most will not reproduce copyrighted material such as the NAPA logo. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    I used to think it was only me, but then I found this place, and I found out I'm really NORMAL. :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    That's a nice looking box, I'd keep using it "as is." Similar layout to a Penncraft I use for miscellaneous stuff, but MUCH better condition. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Let's Hear it for the Old Gray/Red Sears Craftsman Tool Chests and Cabinets (60s/70s)

    I learned the Lemon Pledge trick from an airplane dealer who used Pledge on the wing's leading edges to remove bugs easily. I've tried other "dusting" products but they don't work as well. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    My wife taught me that old school hair spray or nail polish remover (acetone based) both work pretty good. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Scotty that is nice!!! I want one for my shop. Red paint -- >>Rustoleum Sunrise Red matches my box, but I suggest you need to verify how or IF it matches yours; too many variables. Also, you can't trust the cap or printed label for color accuracy. I have found Sunrise Red spray and brushable...

    Proto 6016-4 torque wrench

    Today after work I ran the old wrench through our shop's calibration protocol on our DIY system. The yellow vertical rod is set one foot from the pivot, resting on a certified scale (zeroed after attaching the wrench). [FYI...I moved the fire extinguisher to the floor because it made a busy...

    Proto 6016-4 torque wrench

    Found this 1/2" drive on CL for $15 and thought it was worth taking a chance. Externally it cleaned up nicely, mostly covered in old WD-40 (the previous owner told me he sprayed it good years ago to keep it from rusting) and old grease. P.O. told me he used it as a ratchet because it has a...

    We now return to toolboxes... This was my grandfather's road box in the late 1940's when he worked as an on-call service tech for an International dealership. Haven't found any markings, other than his initials painted on the cover. It was origionally OD Green, the flat black and bright green...

    Ha! There were various forms of Horlacher and Neuweiler church keys floating around my house growing up, but my dad used them to open Rolling Rock. Now he twists those RR tops off. Growing up near Slatington I've been through Berlinsville often, dad liked to go to the "distributor" there for...

    One time at Pocono my family was standing around when Mario came speeding by on a 3-wheeled golf cart, but he was only using 2 wheels! Ha! I think that was a time trials day for the Schaeffer 500, sponsored by Shaeffer Brewery, another Lehigh Valley throwback. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    Yep. I knew one guy worked for Allen Organ and I knew quite a few people that worked for Mack Trucks or Bethlehem Steel. I had a great uncle worked for Bonney Tools back in the 70s. Hmmm, I need to clean up my Bonney tool boards and post some pics sometime. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
