Any ideas on what the clasp/locking mechanism would have looked like?

the outside looks grey, but look at the blue on the inside and sides of the drawers in this pic. Wouldn't have thought anyone would paint the inside a different color. Doesnt it look more blue than the standard grey? maybe its not factory..

rust

you guys are rubbing off on me.. I keep digging up "trash" from my parents farm to rehab. First some old wrenches, next a belt/disc sander that had a coffee can full of mud dobbbers in it.. And now my next challenge: What appears to be a 60's model, 2 drawer mechanics chest. It is rough...

how do you get the rust out of the piano hinge for the lid? looks awesome!

New in package. 11 piece 6 point USA made metric 3/8 socket set. From 8-18 with no skips. I ended up with an extra set of these and don't need them. $11 plus shipping - ill throw them in a envelope and ship the cheapest way I can, probably $4-5, but I can check first for you. Don't want PayPal...

Bruce - thanks for that info on the ford wrench. Would be great if these wrenches could talk! Anyone recognize the diamond trademark? I havent found anything like it yet.

the fairmount cleaned up..

Digging around my parents farm I salvaged some old wrenches that where destined for the scrap yard. No real direction with these - just like quality tools, and hated to see these melted down. Also thought some day they might make nice door pulls in a barn or shop. No real emotional tie to...

here is my current project. Dad bought this new years ago. Recently the cables have gone bad, so we have been trying to find a replacement. The problem we are having is finding a 6 volt trickle and automatic version. All I have found so far are 6 manual only. He still has several large John...

so if you had a choice between two compact impact wrenches - both the same weight, same torque, but one came with a 1/2 and one with 3/8 you would choose the 3/8?? Most of the "pro's" I have seen have a 3/8, but that is because they all have snap ons which dont give you the choice of size - if...

I bought the 14.4 1/2 dewalt - most used tool in my garage. You seem to gain very little additional torque with the 18, but the 14.4 batteries are much more compact - also didnt hurt that I had a 14.4 drill in need of a fresh battery! I would skip the 3/8's though.. when I hammer on bigger...

correct - you can now change out the 350x yourself.

..oh, and according to drill dr you can now change the wheel on all 3 models yourself..

thanks for all the feedback. Went with the 500x. According to tech support person, the 500 is more hd than the 350, but the only real advantage aside from that is that you can do both 118 and 135's and split points. Not sure how important that is, but I imagine it is worth the money - that...

Looking at the latest Craftsman Club Flyer I found a few things I am interested in, but wanted to hear some comments... Drill Doctor: $50 for the 350/$105 for the 500x The only real reason I can see to spring for the 500 is its ability to do both 118/135 degree bits. Is this worth it? Dril...

can you give more details on the loft? I am looking to do something like this above my garage door for tire storage. looks nice!

nice! I need to pick one of those up.. I use ours to heat aluminum bearing carriers. leaves a bit of stink! Wife not happy.

I recently bought the dewalt 14.4v with the 1/2 drive. Have been very happy with it, but it is mainly used on a race atv, where the max torque spec is around 120 ft/lbs. Would probalby have gone with the snap on if I was working on larger stuff.. they work great, but couldnt justify the...
