I know many of us do some machining at home or on the side. Getting ready for winter and after finishing up a somewhat large production run (for me) of aluminum pieces I did a thorough sweep up and chip pan clean out, boxed up last night and headed to the scrap yard at lunch. The ~1.5 tanks of...

Poped in a ACE hardware today to kill some time between. Noticed they had a 4.5" milwaukee angle grinder for $59.99 but with a $20 rebate bringing it down to $40. 6130-33 is the model number. Since there seem to be quite a few angle grinder recommendation threads, this seems like a nice unit for...

Just some info. Looks like one heck of a grinder. :thumbup: I believe it is from the very late 40's to mid 50's at latest. http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/tls/4373198926.html

Ugh, had to put on the washing machine repair hat again this weekend. :mad: Always something with this machine. Washing machine in question is a GE front loader model WBVH. They have a well known issue for the drum support "spider" to corrode, fail and the replacement part which is only sold as...

I thought this might be a fun thread. With all the talk the HF44", red cart, and other red HF boxes get on here, lets hear how they are holding up in the long run. With that said -Who has the oldest still in service HF box? -How is it today? -Have you needed any parts or repair over the years...

I'll try this again. Picked these up for a member the other day, then found out he had already had a set. So before returning thought I would see if anyone needed a decent set of USA made impacts. Brand new, USA made craftsman deep 6pt 1/2 drive 12pc impact socket set. $51 shipped anywhere...

Does anyone have a first edition 1973 ish KR537 top box? Does it have the side door cover like the later versions? According to a catalog picture as well as a first hand account, the early 537's did not have the side door. Thoughts, experiences, pictures? :dunno: As always, thanks :beer:

I've been needing a soft face plastic style hammer for a while. Recent SYWR dictate the time is right. Which one would you recommend? Price is basically the same. I do have a standard black rubber mallet. I like this one due to number of tips 4 included and easily replaceable tips, replacement...

Sigh, I've been working the past 3 days now, on what I have a very bad feeling is a major plumbing problem. :sad: I think the next or best step is to actually look and try to see what I am up against. Has anyone made or purchased a cheap yet suitable drain camera for inside pipe inspection...

Does anyone have a late 80's possibly early 90's snap on catalog that they wouldn't mind taking a few scans or pictures of for me? I've searched for months to no avail. I'm interested in just pages that have info on the tool boxes, not the hand tools. Specifically looking for info on the...

This is a topic that really fascinates me. I enjoy reading through the old tool catalogs, specifically 1930's-1970's. Some manufactures catalogs show the price of the item. Usually compared to current new prices those listed prices seem to be very low at first glance, inflation not factored in...

Please delete, thank you.

Kraeuter is a maker that is dear to my heart, but you don't hear much about them in the main stream. Sooooo Lets talk about Kraeuter. Please share info, pics, stories that you may have regarding anything with the Kraeuter name on it. IIRC they made, and were associated with SK as a economy...

A few weeks or months :headscrat back, I picked up a super cheap KR637/657 top bottom combo at a garage sale for $50. :D Of course at that price point it wansn't exactly in mint condition. I've been slowly working on cleaning it up and moveing my tools over from my old box. My old 27" wide...

I just saw this for the first time the other night browsing the web. I have an older set (my main screwdriver set) of the black handle craftsman pro screwdrivers, love them. Hate the new red/black ones. I did not know that they made a ratcheting screwdriver in that style. Does anyone have one...

These have come up for discussion a few times on here. Thought I would make a little info sheet, since info is pretty hard to obtain on them in my experience. Thanks to alinc100, Justanengineer, JMM, a few others that I can't recall right now (sorry, definitely not intentional), some intensive...

PENDING, thanks. I got these keys in a box I bought over the weekend at a garage sale. It is a kennedy box, so these don't fit too good :lol:. Thought someone may be looking for these for their vintage craftsman box. Price... All I ask for is a picture of your box, and your address...

If this is old new please delete. So I was strolling Lowes this evening after work, needed some trimmer line, but thought I would check out the tool section. I saw a center display in the tool world for Irwin's new T&G pliers. They had a box were if you turn in one of your old T&G pliers you...
