I went to a garage sale this morning and they had a Werner bottle jack with handle forsale. The $20 price was more than I was willing to pay and my offer of $15 was turned down. I was not too disappointed as I had earlier in the year picked up a larger Walker 935. Later at home I pulled out the...

I recently went to a garage sale where the older owner was moving and getting rid of a lot of stuff. It was an eclectic mix of cheap Chinese and old school tools. On a bench he has a Craftsman 6 drawer tool chest. The outside has scratches but inside all the drawers really nice due to thin...

A while back I picked up some of the Craftsman Industrial wrenches that were being sold by Sears Outlet. Some sets came with tool roll ups, some did not. I would like to find some more of the tool rolls for the sets that did not include the roll. If you have one you wish to sell, please e-mail...

I have an older drill press clamp that I would like to remove the old paint from. The body is made from aluminum. If it were steel or cast iron, I would use electrolysis. But being aluminum, what would you recommend? If I can get all the paint off I would probably leave it bare aluminum as the...

I recently picked up an older Walker 935 Series D 8 ton bottle jack from a garage sale. am not sure of the age but judging from the looks it is pretty old. It appears to be low on oil as the ram only comes out a few inches. Initially I needed to push very hard to get the ram to go back down...

I ended up with this instruction manual a bit back and thought it was pretty cool. I did not realize all the add-ons that were available for the Versa Vise. Since I could not find a copy on the web of this, I am putting up here for your viewing pleasure. Now if I could just find a replacement...

I do not need another drill press, but I saw this forsale ad and was intrigued. after a long drive, I found it to be a late 1960's vintage Rockwell 15" 6+6 type drill press. The "6 + 6" refers to the 6 speed pulleys (nice and low for metal work) and the 6" spindle travel. It also had the...

It is hard to tell from the photo, but this looks to have the rare low speed pulley that is on the center post between the motor and the spindle. If so, the pulley attachment is probably work $100 by itself. With the 3rd pulley it is a good drill press for metal...

Well my old battery charger was borrowed once too often and has disappeared. So I need to buy another one. In addition to the usual charging battery duties (usually someone else's I might add), I would like to use it for rust removal purposes. Most of the stuff I need to remove rust from is 50...

I saw this on ebay this morning in the San Jose, CA area. 50's vintage craftsman drill press with variable speed industrial DC motor and controller. It also appears to have a third pulley installed on the column for low speed operation for drilling metal. If it is in good shape it is a bad rig...

For Sale: Atlas universal compound table with x, y, and angle (theta) translation. This came with a 1947 Delta drill press and judging from the drill press table it much have been purchased at the same time as the drill press. The table works fine and has about 1/4 turn of backlash in the top...

I recently picked up a couple of older Proto tool boxes and was hoping to find out the vintage. The top box is a Proto 9923 and the bottom box is a 9968. Too bad the front door is missing off of the lower box, but otherwise it is in pretty nice condition. It must have spent its whole life in the...

Saw this ad and thought I would post it. The slow speed pulley is worth about $100 by itself. Makes it much more useful for drilling metal. Drill Press Floor Model - $170 (93012) Date: 2012-08-05, 7:11PM PDT Reply to: [email protected] Craftsman floor model drill press. 8"...

I ran into this Wilton vise recently forsale. I did not pick it up (yet). It has abused and rebuilt a bit - there are welds on the main casting on the far side not shown in the photos. But on the front of the screw, there is a rotating collar with two pins sticking out. Is this a quick release...

Recently I came across an ad for a bench vise forsale in CL. I rushed over without knowing the exact model and was nicely surprised to find it was a Reed 405. The 405 has a 5" jaws, a swivel base, a swivel jaw, and weights about 98 lbs. The patent date is 1908, but I believe I have seen catalogs...
