Another interesting tape I've never seen before. The W. Bingham Co. Cleveland, Ohio XLCR 50' Steel Tape no. XL-50 Bingham was a long time (1841-1961) Cleveland-based hardware wholesale company. I am not sure if they manufactured anything themselves, however I'm pretty sure this tape was made by...

I have a manual/hydraulic Presto stacker/platform lift. Rated to hold 1k. Also a Hamilton Portelvator hand crank die cart rated to hold 2k. Both have been game changers for easily and safely moving heavy/awkward items in the shop. After my triple hernia, I decided to work smarter, not harder.

Just got one yesterday. Used it to top off car tires and reinflate flat dolly tires. I like it so far.

https://peaveymfg.com I recently bought my BIL a Peavey Timberjack as a b-day gift. He does a lot of tree work and likes supporting USA business. From what I read on the site, the company has been open 160 years in Maine and are the original. Most people call any handled log hook tool a...

not an arbor press per se, but close enough. P.A. Geier Co. no. 3A straightening press. the company may not sound familiar, but they went on to make Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners. i believe this press to be over 100 years old. this came out of an old time machine shop that worked exclusively in...

I am not sure of the time frame, but ACCO stands for American Chain Co., they owned Manley Mfg. I have an ACCO bench vise and learned this after a little research.

dont think I've posted in the thread yet. better late than never! i found a like new Snap-on SSDMR8A ratcheting screwdriver at an antique store for $5. date code 2011. even has 4 original bits!

here's one i forgot i had. 83 30 010 S-Type pipe wrench, aka Swedish pattern with 45° jaws.

I have a handful of Knipex...couple of Cobras, couple Pliers Wrenches, snap ring pliers, CoBolt, 10" side cutters...but this is my favorite. 08 21 145 needle nose combination pliers they live in my house tool kit and get used quite often. for me personally they are incredibly handy.

interesting, i have had zero issues with the trimmer head on my Milwaukee. i really have no complaints with the tool, I can weed whip my whole property on 1 bar of an 8.0 battery, if i have to edge sidewalks it uses 2 bars.

got this set today at Lowe's for $29.98 Wiha #30273 soft finish 5 pc slotted/philips screwdriver set, made in Germany.

like i said in the original post, this vise has aspects of the 982483 pipe vise as well as 1293734 pipe wrench. it has teeth on the bottom that engage the moving jaw allowing fast size change. the rack and handle are used to tighten.

i posted this to the big vise thread but I felt i should share here as I couldn't find anything with the search. a big shout out to rtm for helping me connect the dots with the patents. pipe vises are kind of boring. i like unusual and this caught my eye. there is a blurb on this company on...

i own a pneumatic dynabrade 14000, slightly larger size and i absolutely love it. i have used the 40320 ricleh mentioned in the post above mine and it is also a great tool. you have the compressor, go pneumatic.

i agree. the pipe wrench patent does look similar. you are probably right! my brain is fried i just looked at probably 50 or 60 patents lol

found this really neat, unique pipe vise at an auction and got it pretty cheap. I had never heard of the Efficient Vise & Wrench Co. of Cleveland before. there is a blurb on DATAMP of two wrenches also made by the company (us patents 1293734 and 1293735) patented by a William S. Ducharme, but...

Parker no. 69F 6" jaws, opens 9.5", weight 130 lbs. note: single bolt collar, most 6"+ Parkers have 2 bolt collars.

looks like it has been repaired. that piece of plate under the swivel jaw shouldn't be there. too bad as it is a clean looking vise.

interesting, I have a R-W woodworking vise. neat to see some other stuff they made.
