Good morning. U have a question: Walker 740 jack is advertised as "low lifting point 5", Raise under power 12", max Ht 17" I am a little confused about this: so it means that lowest it can go is 5", you can raise it up to 12" (not sure what they mean under power - meaning with the car weight...

I have a lead on an SJ-18 Blackhawk jack, but it's missing a cover. I remember couple of years ago there were couple of members who were missing them too. Does anybody know of a potential source? Did anybody reproduce it? (For members who did not see one before: CRTDI restored one a while ago...

I live in New England and our roads are often well salted. Thus 6 point sockets are beneficial. This lives me with question on 12 point sockets (have plenty of them but thinking about thinning my doubles and triples...) From what I read on the board, there are plenty of 12 point metric...

I like watching Deadliest road series sometimes - makes one really appreciate what we have. (for example watched this last night: ) -I wonder what tools people use in places with poor economic status (I mean relatively poor people shown in the series (the really poor ones do not have the trucks...

Good evening. 1. It was already discussed that Snap On torx sockets are probably the best Does anybody have any experience with Cornwell and Tekton? 2. There is torx and tamper resistant torx. I assume that tamper resistant torx is not as strong. However, is there any comparison data how much...

Good morning. I have a couple of questions: a lot of basic jobs like brakes, oil changes (drain plugs) have recommendations for torque values which are 20-40 ft-lb range. To the best of my knowledge click type torque wrenches are not as precise at the limits. Do you use torque wrenches with...

In the beginning of November I bought this New Britain NB-54 ratchet for $2 on yard sale. It was a little dirty, but was not stuck and moved. ForestT posted a video of Blackhawk ratchet made by New Britain which helped me a lot and showed what to expect. I made some pictures from start to...

Hi. Got the box, but not the content on the yard sale. Does anybody know what was it used for and what was supposed to be inside? I think I saw something similar on GJ, but can not recall where. Probably sockets, metal rod to rotate them and ???

Well, will give a small story first. I bought a lot of dirty and rusty tools (not added to a proper thread yet as I would like to make picture of cleaned up ones, otherwise you will suspect I am buying mostly junk). When I originally visited the sale on my way to work, I bought some tools with...

I got an old Snap On K-200 box. Just finished cleaning the rails today (some had rust, dirt, some grease, etc) I am thinking about applying paraffin wax lubricant (I think somebody on the board previously mentioned that you can buy it in Wallmart) How much do I need for 10 rails? How do you...

Good afternoon. I bought this set for $5 (stayed after the sale and helped the owner open the stuck box which was stuck because somebody put this set in opened and it jammed the drawer. They were happy as they could not open it and offered me a set for $5) The set is not complete. Taps and...

Good evening. I might have a lead on an old Walker jack (I know, I still never got to work on a Weaver, it will eventually happen...) It has couple of problems: 1. The model is not known - the emblem is damaged. It says Roll-A-Car per owner. Is there an easy way to determine the model so I...
