    Mystery vintage tool chest #2

    I recently picked up a box and chests off an internet ad that had been posted for a while. This top chest has really nice construction, but has no markings. It is heavy gauge steel that reminds me of the 1960's vintage Waterloo/Craftsman tool boxes. It also has drawer slides similar to the...

    Mystery vintage tool chest #1 (Ferret/Snap-on)

    I recently picked up a box and chests off an internet ad that had been posted for a while. The seller said they would include the random assorted tools inside. So that was a bit too much temptation for me. The box in question is a flattish black color, much darker than shown in the photos. It...

    Unusual vintage Crastman speeder wrench

    Unusual vintage 1/2" Craftsman speeder wrench I picked this up recently in a tool box I purchased and I cannot find anything like it on the internet. It is labeled as Craftsman BE, so it is pretty old. But the few online Craftsman hand tool catalogs do not show a speeder wrench with this type...

    Tool ID request - used in woodworking?

    I have had one of these in the garage longer than I can remember.... It may have come from a garage sale with a Wilton Powr Arm Jr. Were these use to attach pieces of wood so you could bolt them work to a Powr Arm or similar tool for wood shaping? If so, what are they called? Thanks

    A "what is it?" tool question...

    A while back I picked this up from the ReStore used tool section. It is about 14" long with a hardened steel head. Any thoughts on what it is and who made it? Other that the warning and the "made in USA", there is not manufacturer or part number shown. Thanks

    For Sale: 4 drawer slide retaining clips from a 1980's vintage MAC tool box. I have seen these clips on other brand tool boxes also.

    Used Craftsman tool box drawer weight capacity question

    Recently I picked up a used Craftsman tool box and intermediate chest at a garage sale. Usually I prefer the classic grey/red 1960's and 1970's Craftsman boxes. But it was at a really good price so I weakened under the delusion I could use it at work. If I replace the top rubber mat it will look...

    Need help identifying small Snap On metal box

    I ended up with the small Snap-On metal box, and I was hoping someone could identify what it is from. It was in my Dad's garage for years, though I am sure he picked it up used. The interior was painted silver over the factory red. I presume the metal partitions were original, as they also...

    FS: Drill press table lifting counterweight pulley bracket

    Sold I wanted to add a counterweight to my Delta 15" drill press table to make raising and lowering it easier. I liked the counterweight idea as it seemed the least obtrusive. So I bought this Rockwell Delta pulley bracket to make the conversion. But I then ran into a NOS production table with...

    Source for wrench roll with velcro closure?

    Years ago when the Craftsman was blowing out the Craftsman Industrial products for cheap (thanks Garage Journal!), I picked up a couple of sets of wrenches with the 11 or 14 piece tool rolls. What I liked about them was the velcro closure (two straps with velcro) instead of the traditional tie...

    Need help identifying a top tool box

    My curiosity is getting the better of me. Any idea of what brand is this tool box? It appears the seller recently removed the brand placard from it. This usually means the brand is sufficiently low grade or never heard of that they figure they can hype it up and sell it for more without any...
