I spent my entire weekend driving all over "God's Creation" to pick up these two pieces. 1) 1948 Sun Master Distributor Tester / with vac pump that still work (see pic of 1950 advertisement). It needs a good cleaning and a new power cord, but is in real good shape on the inside. The cabinet...

Most of us have found old lost tools in the engine compartment. This is what I found while taking apart my XKE Mostly older sockets (Herbrand, SNAP-ON, and SK), but does anyone know anything about this ratchet -- found it when I took out the A/C lines and the evaporator/blower unit. It's...

Found these two impact wrenches -- nice tools. Not my listing, but can vouch for the quality of these FP wrenches. The "buy it now" price is excellent...

I found this old 1960's Miller Falls 1/2" electric impact wrench at a local swap meet. It was clean, a few scratches, and laying on a shelf when I spotted it. I had owned a similar IR model, except last year it shorted the motor and was trashed. I asked the guy what he wanted and he said $25...

I'm in need of a new cylinder leak down tester. My 25 year MAC old model is totally falling apart. I've been looking on e-bay and the same Chinese set keeps popping up with a price range from $40-$100. On a whim I checked Harbor Freight and they have what looks like the same set for $28.00 on...

Since there was some interest in these older air impacts, I thought it interesting to start a new thread rather than hijack the e-Bay purchase discussion. I've included some pics of my current angle head collection and will try to address the question "why these tools are not popular anymore ?"...

I'm not a garage sale junkie, but just happened to "stumble" upon this one. Found a nice Whitney-Jensen ** punch kit with extra dies -- these things are worth their weight in gold if you need to make a lot of small holes AND I almost passed by these wood handle MAC screw drivers. They were...

I got a very good deal on a new FP-723 3/8" ANGLE IMPACT on e-bay. My old one lasted 15 years and was a good overall wrench. These wrenches don't seem too popular anymore, but I really like them a lot, and after 30 years have gotten used to the "feel" of this type of wrench I'm looking for a...

I didn't want to hi-jack the thread on jack stands, but since I've owned older HF stands for almost 20 years, I was wondering about the rest of my import equipment. Without starting a food fight, I'll wager that many of you older guys probably have vintage HF equipment sitting in your garages...

There have been a few threads recently about quality air hammers and chisels. For all you guys that are looking for a good quality (USA made) air hammer -- I stumbled across this RODAC on ebay. I have one of these in my collection and can highly recommend the RODAC; and NO, I'm not listing...

Finally found this one on e-bay. Been looking for a long time. This is one smooth 1/2" drive ratchet

I need new airhoses, and finding a good set of 25 and 50ft air hoses is darn near impossible. I gave up on the Harbor Freight brand a long time ago. Their Indian made house brand stuff splits very easily and is absolutely the worst quality, so I started buying the Goodyear hoses that HF also...

Today was a sad day. After replacing brakes and shocks on my '95 Rodeo I noticed that my trusty old EASCO flex head ratchet was starting to skip in the counterclockwise direction. I took it apart, cleaned and lubed it, but no amount of lube would remedy the situation. It's obvioulsy ready for a...

I'm looking for a good quality long hex socket set. I can't justify Snap-on for something that I would use very infrequently, so I was wondering what brand you guys recommend. I'd like to stay away from the type of sockets that have the hex bit held in the socket with a small set screw. I have...

-- my neighbor's kid just graduated from Wyotech as a diesel mechanic and the father has been buggin' the heck out of me asking what kind of toolbox the kid should get as a graduation present. I told him to look at the name brand and/or tool truck options (it goes in one ear and out the...

Ok -- I'm new here, so it may not be my place to post this, but I'm seeing many posts that constantly trounce HF tools. In most cases I agree, much of their stuff absolutely is inferior, BUT I also think that many of their items are a great bargain and well worth the investment. So I'd like to...

I just lucked out. A friend is moving to Europe and he needed to get rid of his Husky (rebadged CH) 60 gal. single stage compressor. Long story short, I'm getting it for free. I already have a nice PUMA single stage 60 gal. compressor in the shop, but I was thinking of ganging the Husky into the...
