There is a lot of interest in Blackhawk tools and toolboxes. We already have a general thread and tool box thread. Let's start Blackhawk specific thread! Caterpillar boxes welcomed! Not as pristine, but this is what I have!

Hi. I got a Kennedy 520 toolbox with a lot of machinist tools some time ago which was filled with a lot of tools. I am thinking about keeping the box to organize my measuring tools, drill bits which came with he box, taps and dies (which I honestly used only few times in my life) and selling...

Good afternoon. I have two 3/4 drive sets which I need to clean up and eventually complete: Bon-E-Con and PLVMB pebble style. Please let me know what you use for lubricant when you open and clean them. I use Superlube for all the older 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 drive ratchets Bon-E-Con picture...

Good morning. Question for everybody living and working on things in the rust belt. From what size do you feel comfortable using 12 vs 6 point sockets in 3/8 and 1/2 drive (asking about two as hey do not completely overlap). 1/4 drive sockets are small and most likely everybody will recommend 6...

Good evening. Decided to make a separate thread for this I bought Elora Wrenches recently. One of them is bent. They are relatively thin. How would you approach straightening the bent one? I am trying to see if it can be done without damaging the chrome. Would putting the open end part in...

It seems to me that MAC is somewhat unpopular on GJ (except for toolboxes). As with each company, there is good, there is bad. Same as with our current world. Lets concentrate on good... Lets share our MAC tools. I decided to post it here instead of the vintage tool thread as even though...

Good evening I recently got SK 45412 at the yard sale. It is missing 3/8 hexagonal bit. I am planning to cut a piece of allen wrench as a replacement. Can anybody open their socket (it's a small hexagonal screw holding the piece from the side) and measure me the total length of the missing...

Good evening. I hope everybody is doing well this weekend. I was cleaning some tools tonight and came across this clamp One side is stamped with ATLAS No1, the other Fast-Lok (or something very similar - it's hard to read). The lower part (across from the bolt) rotates around the axis Please...

Well, the danger of reading GJ is learning more and looking for more tools all the time. This summer I had some hard times on two screws removing rotors on 2004 Acura - I wish I learned about JIS ealier (suspect that I would have better times if I had one of JIS screwdrivers or even Vessel...

Good morning. I have an old Beach box. When I got it it was all covered in stickers and some of them were even glued to it. I removed majority of them by heating and peaking them off. However, the box is now covered in sticky residue. Glue was also used to attach some stickers on the front and...

I got a set of sockets today. I assume this is 2 combined sets and some random sockets on top. The darker one might be the original set though it might be a combination of lighter and darker sets originally. Most likely the set is 30s-40s, but I am not sure. The four additional sockets were...
