My favorite is Diamond KC-18. Made in USA , but rather pricey - $1.00 at garage sale.

Much more entertaining than Fluke videos.

Now you tell us. Will Probe Master allow me trade-in credit for the $200 I paid for a Fluke master set?

Please provide details re the easy cheap fix.

I'm having flashbacks from the 80s when I struggled through rewiring a 78 VW Rabbit.

After my trusty Fluke 87 somehow escaped a few years ago, I adapted to a Fluke 117 with minimal gray matter stress. But I really, really miss my ole PSM-6. RIP (sob)

After scanning through the Bodenzord tools and materials sections, I'm now assembling those that I already have on hand and completing second mortgage applications to purchase the others. I have not come across any specific recommendations though for manufacturers and sources for the...

A family of rat snakes guard my garage. No roadents or crawling bugs. I dug a tunnel extending under the garage to allow them to hibernate in winter. The snakes seem to be well-fed and quite happy with their habitat. They are docile for most of the year and don't seem to spook out if I pick...

Common causes of slidejam include: 1. Slightly bent, bowed or otherwise deformed slides (SO calls them "runners") and/or channels. The runner is the center component between the outer channel (built in to the frame interior side) and the inner channel (built into the drawer exterior side)...

Most Craftsman LL keys are available from Waterloo. BTW, you really ****!

I had not thought of Beach. But, when connecting other dots, that seems to be the most likely answer. Thanks for that info.

Can anyone help identify the manufacturer of this top chest? At first glance, I thought it was a Waterloo/Craftsman. But there are a few distinct differences apparent in the internal lockbar, lid hinges, drawer pulls and drawer slides. It is also noticeably heavier than comparable Craftsman...

Very nice job. From a junker to a jewel. I pondered those same possibilities for this old Craftsman 2-drawer portable. But after seeing the OP's resto work, I felt so inadequate that I pondered going upstairs and jumping out of a second floor window instead. However, if anyone here wants...

Garage sale find Was $125 too much?

The next in line on the restoration leader board are pictured. At my current rate of progress, the estimated completion date is early June 2397.

On major holiday weekends, DT usually does a corporate double rebate on 4-tire or 4-wheel sets. And, if the timing is right and Jupiter aligns with Mars, you can also stack a manufacturer rebate and a price match discount on top of an additional discount or rebate by paying with a DT store...

IMHO, best value of all in the previous replies is this: Moreover, older nearly always equals better quality and heavier weight nearly always equals better quality, regardless of brand name. My best finds have been at estate sales and Craigslist, where good heavyweight 2 or 3 piece 26-33 inch...

:rocker: Success at last! With guidance from the resident journeymen, a pair of Mr. Magoo glasses, a 10X magnifier, and a couple more beers, I can now see KR-557-F 87 in the upper left corner. :eyecrazy:

I received your PM, but my PM reply seems to have vanished into the Twilight Zone. This model number should work: 706.652571. You can download or bookmark a free parts diagram for this model at Sears Parts Direct and locate a part number for the lockset. Then phone Waterloo parts department...

There is no such thing as too many tool boxes.
