    Any Baratza Coffee Grinder Owners Here???

    I've had an Encore for longer than I can remember, so I don't owe it anything. If this one croaks I'll likely just search around for the best price, then buy another .. I use the same grind size for pour over (normal) or Sunday special percolator coffee

    Harry J Epstein Day / Wright Tool Meet-Up

    I would love to go on a factory tour - but its very date dependent, so cannot commit until a date is picked. About 200 miles for me,

    I ordered them a while back The examples I received were both badly misaligned at the tips and I didn't find any redeeming qualities so back they went

    1/4 drive 5/8” 6 point deep socket

    The Snap-on (even sans shipping charges) costs more than a whole set of Olsa sockets ... Guess I need to decide how much that unfilled hole is worth ... or switch to a different organizer

    1/4 drive 5/8” 6 point deep socket

    I've spent too much time trying for find a 1/4" drive deep hand (not impact, as they are too fat to fit) socket to fill a lonely hole on an OLSA socket organizer - but a 5/8 is within the rule I read somewhere that the max at any drive size is 2 1/2 to 3 times the drive/anvil size, if that bit...

    Not even sure why I checked - I'd like to think some subconscious eye picked it out - when I called them they promised to have the missing socket on the way today -

    I read of these kits some time back here, or maybe in another thread. I finally decided to treat myself & purchase one for travelling - if you look real closely there are 2x of the SAE 11/32" sockets and no 5/16".

    Black and decker weed eater finally died, what should I get next?

    I had a Stihl gasser for a couple decades, it was getting cranky and keeping 2 stroke fuel around was getting old so I bought the EGO. It is much heavier than the Stihl on the downside, and the batteries are expensive. This will be its second season, I still haven't thrown out the Stihl but it...

    THAT looks like a hammer I used in me misspent youth, we referred to them as mash hammers, and used them to pound plastic jointless firebrick into the walls of furnaces we were rehabbing.

    I like the clear tape id - I have been writing the oil changes on the radiator's shroud in yellow wax pencil - that lasts as well but I am about out of wax pencil and always have scrap paper & tape around

    Guess it depends on the expected usage - the $20 cheapy I bought some time ago doesn't get much use here, and when it does it doesn't need to support 350 pounds for very long.

    I looked at that one - my impression was it was the same basic construction as the example on the left - but with $50 of (value?)added "content". Why does anyone think that cupholders need to go anywhere and everywhere? It does have nicer casters, which make the seat height taller ..

    I mis-understood - I went to the listing and it was back to "full" price, or $99.13 usd. Didn't realize it wasn't a current deal

    Vintage RIDGID Pipe Wrenches

    I'll say. North Ridgeville in the 60's was all farms, the "heavy" industry was either in Cleve-town or Elyria. The heaviest I recall was a machine shop on Root Road

    Vintage RIDGID Pipe Wrenches

    Is the Ridge Tool factory still there? Once in my youth I worked in that area, I remember the big Ridge Plant down the street from my job in another of the old Elyria factories. I had no idea they also called North Ridgeville home

    Husky Tool cabinet wheels

    I don't know if all boxes follow a common bolt pattern - this is the one I used on a 1970's Craftsman roller - the slotted bolt holes give it a little wiggle in fitting I think .. (picture found floating in the Big River - this is a heavier version (3000 pounds) than I used, but the same...
