First Impression: Retracta air hose reels After getting concerned I was going to injure myself in the garage by tripping over my air compressor hose, I decided it was time to buy an air hose reel. The trick was to find a hose reel that could fit in the one available location 7 feet off the...

FS: pair of vintage Wilton C1 pipe jaws, single pin. Both for $85 with USPS shipping, US sales only.

The stickers are Snap-on. I suspect the tool box is also. Or possibly Williams. Not sure of the model numbers. Thoughts? Thanks

I am using an iPad running Safari to read the GJ forums. in about 10% of the threads, part way thru the thread there is a header of what looks to be a link to an advertisement followed by about 8 blank pages. It makes reading threads a bit of a pain with all the scrolling. Any thoughts? Thanks...

An old friend has owned this tool chest for the last 40 years. He probably picked it up used. It has no markings. Done anyone have an idea of who made it and approximate vintage? Thanks

I purchased these left and right handed 1/2” arbor shaft spindles for a project but never used them. They are new and attach to a 1/2” motor shaft. Both for $22 + USPS shipping. US sales only.

I recently purchased a used Columbian 506 M3 bench vise. For a relatively recent make vise from the Wilton ownership era, the previous owners had abused it a bit. When I picked it up it had a bent handle, some rust, and a broken jaw screw. After cleaning it up and unbending the handle, I still...

About 3 years back I posted about finally finding a Wheeled pry bar (aka Johnson bar) for use in the garage (link below). While not used often, it is super useful and great at saving your back. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/ode-to-the-johnson-bar-aka-pry-bar-lever-dolly.480303/...

Never have seen one of these before. Neat vise for round material- Especially repetitive work. For $59 + shipping I am tempted. https://www.ebay.com/itm/155942096774

I helped an old friend with machining to fix some woodworking tools, He kindly dropped a tool care package on my doorstep. Included were two Brink & Cotton #110 C-clamps. Very tiny! These should come in handy for fine assembly work. Looks to be cast iron frames with a cut screw. Very smooth...

large Heinrich 8" drill press vise $55 Great if you have a 17” or larger drill press. I just do not need another one. Should clean up nicely. Sorry, GJ will not upload photos https://hgrinc.com/productDetail/Tooling/Used-Heinrich-Tools-Vise/03230920007/

A bit back I picked up a couple Lyon mobile tool cabinets for use at work. I do like butcher block tops so I recently purchased a used one off of a large vintage tool box. After some sawing, sanding, gluing, oiling and waxing, I ended up with two butcher block tops that would fit. The question...

These came out of my parent’s shop. I should have given them away years ago, but there was always that nagging concern that it could be useful or fit something in my shop that came from Dad. Anyone have an idea of what there things are? Thanks!

I have been looking for another intermediate tool chest to put on a bench at work to hold hold misc small tools. I ran into a Proto 44106 intermediate (middle) 4 drawer tool box for sale today. I was surprised to see it stamped on the back "Made in Canada". I did find that model in an undated...

FS: Prentiss vice swivel base + washer and lead screw meatball There is a casting void on the bottom of the swivel base as shown in the photo. I do not believe is should affect function. The swivel base is marked "20" so I presume this may be from a Prentiss model 20 vise? Though it may fit...

The stock lathe key that came with my 3 jaw chuck is great for tightening. But is is a pain the wrist when making large lathe jaw adjustments. Turning it 1/2 a turn at a time is also pretty slow. So my goal was to make a key that could be operated with one hand quickly while my other hand was...

A while back I purchased a 3 drawer Craftsman middle tool box for $60. These were made for 1972 to 1975 and were fairly well constructed by Waterloo for Sears. Not quite Snap-on material thickness but more than enough for the intended purpose. I was going to put it under a tool chest in the...

Oddly, I had a design at work which required me to drill holes in hockey pucks. If searching with Google, It is no surprise that the first article was a thread on the Garage Journal. The technique that seemed to work best for me was a little different than previously posted. So instead of...

Back in 2018 I ran into one of the sought after Craftsman 0519X vises. A local company was selling off some excess tools and hardware. It was not advertised, but I saw a 05191 4" fixed base vise and a 1960's Craftsman roller cabinet (with roller drawers) in the corner. So I made an offer and...
