Unfortunately, this ratchet, doesn't actually ratchet anymore, it just spins freely both directions. It's still a really neat display piece though.
I would like to get $10 shipped for it.
I already have too many circular saws, so I hoping to find a new home for this one!
It works great and is in pretty good condition. There are a few bumps/bruises on the cord, but no bare wire is showing. Also, there is some rust on the base, but nothing too major.
I don't think there are many...
20th Century Battery Charger
I picked this up at an auction today, and I haven't able to find any information on it at all.
Have any of you seen anything like it before?
I have not tried this out, so I honestly have no idea if it works or not, however I do know that if it is going to work, it does need at least one small repair. (see below)
$12 shipped
The red wire has broken off of the battery holder on the side of the case.
$15 shipped for the whole lot SOLD
There was some of the dreaded white "stuff" forming on some of the handles, but I cleaned them all up, and it has not yet returned.
I picked this up in a boxlot at an auction.
I think it's a water separator for an air compressor, but I really don't know for sure.
So what exactly is it, and how do I use it?
These two things also came with it.
What are they?
7 piece 3/8" drive impact socket set, 3/4", 11/16", 5/8", 9/16", 1/2", 7/16", 3/8".
There is a bit of wear on these, however they are not too bad.
I'm asking $40 shipped. SOLD
Also included is a bonus Snap-on shallow 3/8" drive 3/8" impact socket.
I know crimp terminals have replaced soldering in many ways, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who still solders.
So lets see what your soldering with.
The whole setup.
When I do the body work on my Jeep, I'm going to need to pick up something for spreading body filler. I really don't plan to use too much of it, but I'll need to use some.
So what do you suggest?
Metal or plastic?
Any particular brand?
It's a simple enough tool, but I do have the habit of...
I picked up this ratchet earlier in a box lot at auction. I was hoping I would be able to get the guts for it from Mac, but it seems to be discontinued.
What can I do with it?
Would Mac still supply the parts?
Should I just send it in for warranty and see what they do?
I have an older pair of Wiss aviation snips.
There not in bad shape except that the rubber handles are beginning to turn to goo.
What would Wiss do about it as far as the warranty goes?
Edit
The title was supposed to say, truck horn, not track horn
SOLD
I'm not entirely sure weather this horn is supposed to run on 12 volts or 6 volts, but I hooked it up to 12 volts to give it a try and it works great.
I would like to get $20 plus shipping for it.
Heres a video of it working...
Well...
There was a post not long ago asking about re-wiring a vintage power drill.
Vintage power tools are sort of my speciality, so I figured I would share some of the information I have gathered on the subject.
The tool I'm working on is an old Black & decker "Home Utility" 1/4" drill.
I...
I couldn't find any "country of origin" markings on any of the pieces anywhere.
So, I really can't say where they were made.
The sockets and breaker bar are all in good condition, however the case is pretty rough.
The included sockets are,
=4024 3/4" 12 point
=4022 11/16" 12 point
=4020...
I was in a small hardware store a few days ago, and I saw several old Stanley wrenches and sockets.
The oldest one I saw was from 1983.
Unfortunately though, they were a bit pricey.
The 1 1/8" combination wrench was almost $20, I just didn't need it that badly.
I still thought it was pretty...
