I was able to score a strange Facom tool box/stool and the guy threw in a bucket of tools for an extra $25. I rolled the dice and this is what I got. I need help IDing a few things. Some tools don't have any marks or identifiers on them. I'm just looking to identify the tools in the middle pics...

https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tls/6020376976.html I don't really NEED another tool box but this one is interesting me for some reason. The main box looks as if it may be homemade but the two Snap On side boxes look legit. It seems like a good price especially considering that the two side...

After searching a bit, it seems I'm late to the party. I just saw the 3/8" version in this month's Hemmings and thought, hmm I need that. Then I saw that they also make a 1/2" version. I don't have any 3/8" impact sockets (which would mean I need to buy some tools :)) Which version is everyone...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/262815230777?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Just wondering how everyone is storing/organizing their Vise Grips. I have a few drawers full of them and would like to free up some drawer space. I have plenty of wall space and was thinking of...

Looking for a quality wall mount retractable cord reel. What does everyone use/have?

Any thoughts on this Vise? Thanks. http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tls/5948663304.html

I'm in the market for a good solid vise without breaking the bank and I don't mind going used. I'd really like a USA made vise and found these on CL: Powr Kraft http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tls/5875230555.html Wilton http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tls/5924023895.html (looking at...

I enjoy seeing the old metal cabinets from service stations. I can't believe the money they command on the secondary market. Let's see what you have.

I bought a bunch of old tools from a guy on Craigslist. He had a ton of old mechanics and body tools that I grabbed for $200. Then he shows me this old tool cart/box/seat. All of the tools and this were his great uncles who was a body man from the 40's-90's. I was drooling over it but he...

I recently scored a nice sized lot of old body/mechanics tools from Craigslist. (I will post pics soon) The guy's Uncle was a body man from 40's-90's. I can't seem to figure out what this thing is though. I think it may be an older door skin tool used to crimp down the flange but I am not 100%...

Looking for the complete set in the green blow mold case. Let me know if anyone has a set for sale.

For some reason I like this box. I don't need it at all but I like it. The guy on CL is asking for $350. I think it's a bit steep. Maybe I don't know something. Any thoughts?

Here are two items I inherited from my great-great uncle, an Italian immigrant who owned auto electric repair shop on Long Island from the 40's-70's. He gave these to my uncle to in turn gave them to me. When he and his wife died a few years ago, they didn't have a will and all of his other...

I found a listing for some auto body tools last week and have been playing schedule tag with the guy. Finally got there today and scored some good stuff. Snap-On DA Sander, Matco body hammer/dolly set included 3 dollies and a spoon, extra no name dolly, 2 Astro spray guns with regulators, Mac...

I wasn't sure where to post this but here goes...My sister works in a school and acquired the small student desk pictured below. My 3 year old daughter fell in love with it and I plan to restore it. I am good with the metal work and painting but working with wood is a different story. I'd like...

My garage is finally finished as of August and I am getting ready to start doing some body work for side jobs. I'd like to buy or create some sort of dust collection system. I have seen the Dust Deputy and it looks great but I just don't quite know how I could make it work for my application...

As a long time lurker I learned a lot from this site while I was planning my new garage. We broke ground about a week and a half ago and finally got the footings/foundation poured this past week. They should be back filling and framing this week. Footings dug out. Footings dug out. The...

I have one of these and have absolutely no use for it. My great Uncle owned an auto electric shop in NYC from the 40's-70's. When I say this thing is in excellent shape I mean it. Its almost brand new. He was OCD about his tools. Does anyone know where I could go about selling this thing or what...

Just stumbled upon this site today while trying to research some old automotive equipment and tools that my great uncle used to have in his shop. I was a body tech for 10 years and now I am in Law Enforcement. Looking forward to talking about tools/garages.
