Smitty: Thanks for the info. I didn't think it would be that old. A good survivor considering the age and the shop it came from. There was a larger vise mounted on the same bench but it had already been removed by the time I got there. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Acquired this Prentiss "Bull Dog" No. 50 recently. Seems to be in good working condition although there are some defects that appear to be from the original casting job. It is marked 50-90 on one side and has the number '171' stamped into underside of slide. Jaws are 3.5 inches and weight is...

I have had good success with a product called "Door Ease" which can usually be found at your local hardware store. https://agscompany.com/product/door-ease-lubricant-stick-1-6-oz-card-hardware/ Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info gents. There were a couple of 2 man saws that I missed out on. The guy, a contactor, bought 3 for wall hangers in his office. An Internet/YouTube search revealed some great info for future sales, interesting stuff. I really want to try it out on some ash logs that need to be...

Recent find (along with some regular tools that have yet to be sorted and cleaned), dont really need it but the price was right. A Keystone K964 cross cut saw. Supposedly made by Disston as a value level saw. Seems sharp and serviceable. Also picked up a Morrills saw set kinda by accident as I...

Re: Braunsdorf-Mueller tools Inserts are wood. Darker than other 'perfect handle' drivers I have but this one seems to be coated with some preservative, probably BLO, so maybe that has darkened the wood some. Also, thanks for the heads up on checking the Sticky posts. I have some other...

Re: Braunsdorf-Mueller tools ReStore find, BMCo screwdriver. Overall length 13", blade width 3/8". Found some info on the manufacturer on AA. Any way to figure an actual date or range of production?

Sell the whole lot for $100, recoup most of your money and let the next guy try his luck. Keep 1 tube as a reminder. Just kidding, I have done similar things that cost much more. Good luck- however you proceed.

Cool find, definitely looks well built. Enjoy.

Outlaw, Thanks for the info. I know nothing about Coleman lanterns but have seen them posted here enough to know it might be worth something to someone. I was taking my last look around the garage and looked up and saw it hanging from the rafters. Reached it by using a long handled ice chopper...

Awesome

Hit a family run estate sale on Sunday morning. Came home with 2 tool boxes with contents. Pricing was very favorable.... $20 total. A few guys picked through the Huot box ahead of me but left some goodies behind. All USA made including Powr Kraft, Williams, Utica, Challenger, SK, Craftsman...

I have become a fan of the Lever Lock tapes over the standard push button lock types. Craftsman used to sell a rebranded version and they would even warranty them. I'm not a fan of the markings/graduations on some of the newer versions I have seen at HD recently. I don't need every 1/8...

A quick pass through the local ReStore netted the following for a total of $7. Lenox hacksaw in good working condition, Craftsman Phillips #4 screwdriver appears unused, Empire aluminum speed square, and an Estwing welding/chipping hammer that has some appearance issues but should clean up...

Possible to get a picture of the control? Are there any wires/contact point near the off position? Should be something there to ground/kill the spark. If your feeling frisky, you can hold onto the spark plug wire while pulling the motor over, with spark plug out, you will quickly know if your...

How do you shut it off once it is running? They usually have on On/Off switch somewhere. I'd check switch position, connections, & wires going to and from the switch. If no switch exists, then check spark plug wire and magneto/coil. Sometimes mice like to build a nest under the recoil shroud...

Re: Anyone in CT? Better get this and fast - FREE Red and Grey Craftsman Stack Saw that post this morning and considered trying for it since it is only about 45 minutes away but headed for an estate sale instead. Figured it would be snapped up by a local or someone a little closer. Of course...

Currently use a couple of the HD zippered utility tool bags (look like a bank money bag) for wrenches, sockets, ratchet, screwdrivers, pliers, adjustable, etc. The bags have an internal divider sewn in so it helps separate stuff and minimizes noise. Also have a plastic Craftsman underseat...
