    Please help identify this toobox drawer liner

    I ended up with a 36" wide partial roll of this stuff years ago and finally used it all up. I need some more for use inside the house where outgassing is an issue (don't want PVC runners). The plastic is really tough and does not smell. I once heard rumors it was from Costco but I have never...

    What do you do with very large wrenches?

    Many years back I picked up these large wrenches at a garage sale. My dad is impossible to buy for at Christmas so I thought these wrapped up under the tree would be pretty amusing (it was). But now that I have them back and after tripping over them the last few years, I am unsure what to do...

    French Vises anyone? (Dolex)

    I found this at what I thought to be a picked over estate sale a few months back. It appears to be a Dolex model 56T made in France. The jaws are 125mm (5") wide and it opens to 180mm (7"). The vise weighs in at 14 Kg (about 31 lbs). The really nice thing about the vise is the total lack of slop...

    Is this a Wilton bullet vise end cap?

    I found this in a box in the garage, and I cannot think of what it goes to. It resembles a Wilton bullet vise end cap, but I do not have a vise missing a cap. It is about 2 1/8" in diameter and is made from steel. I looked on Wilton's web site and the show the current C1 endcaps, but they do not...

    I am surprised no one in LA, CA bought this $200 Yost 34C large vise...

    $200 for a 186lb 6" combo vise with swivel base in nice condition seems like a pretty good deal. It looks to be original paint. New they are in the $1300 range. I thought long and hard about buying it last week but decided it was a bit more than I needed. With all the excitement over the Yost...

    Reed 203R vise - it this normal?

    I recently ran into a Reed 203R vise, and was impressed how beefy the base and swivel assembly was for a 3" vise. What also surprised me is that the jaws were flat cast iron with no serrations or inserts. Is this normal? Thanks

    Wilton vise identification help needed

    I found this Wilton vise recently and I cannot find a model number anywhere on it. It has 4" wide jaws (but no pipe jaws) and it built pretty stout (30+ lbs). It is marked "Shuller Park, Illinois USA" nut other than what looks to be serial numbers I do not see any markings on it. Unlike the...

    FS: 4" drill press vise $15

    For Sale: Drill press vise with 4" wide jaws. Nothing fancy but it works fine. I have more drill press vises than I need so something has to go. This one has probably been tucked under a work bench in our garage for the past 20 years. The only marking is JAPAN on the base casting. There are...

    Found a huge Reed 108 vise - Is it worth it?

    While looking at a different vise that a seller had, he showed me an 8" Reed 108 vise with swivel base. It has some rust but has not been abused. The serrations on the jaws still look nice. It turns slightly hard but I am sure that is due to lack of oil. It is hard to show scale but the vise is...

    I have been starring at these open type sockets in garage for many years now. The box full I have fit hex nuts from about 1" to 3" as shown in the photos. The labeling on one of the sockets reads: "* MADE IN U.S.A. 2062 T-A-C-2 3/8 PAT. PEND. *" I have been unable to find anything with that...
