    Pretty sure the Martin adjustable wrenches they had on Amazon were Western Forge, I bought a few and they were excellent, especially for the money.

    CL find Martin Tool and Forge USA.. anyone need?

    That's a smoking deal, I'd be all over that for $20 but it's a bit of a drive. If you're close grab it, and do it quick.

    How To Make Sanitary Stainless TIG Welds

    You brought up old memories for me, I've welded tons of those pipes, we did it a bit differently, we heliarc-ed (tig using helium shielding gas) them and I made some roller V stands to rotate the pipes while welding. To cut the pipe we used whatever saw and facing machines to make them square...

    Help me wire this switch!

    Looks like a standard stack-able cam switch, looks like two switches, one set of contacts on each side should be NO and one set should be NC, use a multi meter to determine.

    Some Vintage Pipe Wrenches, anyone collect them?

    Not really a collector of pipe wrenches but I do have quite a lot of the odd ball ones, many of the ones Don posted and the original Ridgid pipe wrench: Rust Farmer (member here) has a huge collection of Stillson style wrenches in all shapes, sizes and variations. ...

    Any quality Garden Hose Reels?

    I've been getting those pocket hoses, they only last a year or two but whats great about them is storage, you just toss them in a small bucket when not in use, no fuss, no mess.

    Harbor Freight Dead Blow Hammer

    Not the only one and I bet Trusty Cook would say the same. You could offer me that hammer for free and I wouldn't take it. You could offer me that hammer for free along with a pizza and I would take it, eat the pizza and then throw away the hammer.

    Saw a GearWrench truck

    I think it would be hard to sell tools off a truck that you can buy for way less money at the local Menards, Sears, etc. Plus most of their stuff is imported from Asia and I can't see people buying Asian tools on credit only to pay them off and they have no value. At least with the USA made...

    Toilet below grade in garage

    Below grade, but is it below the sewer? If not no pump needed. Me, I'd prefer not to have a pump and would consider a raised platform if needed because sooner or later the pump will take a **** and replacing it is a crappy job, literally.

    Apex's handling of the Armstrong Brand closure

    I didn't read all the replies so someone may have already said this. They will still have to honor the warranty on Armstrong so you can buy those rebuild kits now and get the money for them down the road. J C Penney used to sell tools with a lifetime warranty and will pay for a replacement or...
