My solution to that problem is to use liquid means of removal so the lead doesn't become airborne. I start with electrolysis, which removes rust. It also removes paint when it's near or on rusty areas, or very loose. Then paint remover with handheld wire brush. Of course, you could also test...

The proper technique is to use a funnel. Pour the bar oil back into the bar oil bottle before storage. P.S. The saw will still leak, but not much.:dunno:

Will this work? Non-branded, but just like the Millers Falls (and many other) hacksaws I've seen since I was a kid. Uses 8, 10 and 12" blades. And even if there was some sort of hook to keep the front frame from pulling out, a grinder would make short work o that.

Tremendous find! Is it just me, or does that eyebolt look ... umm ... wrong?? That looks like the kind of modification I might do, just to be silly. But that's just my opinion; I could be wrong. I couldn't find a catalog shot, anybody here have one? OTOH, there's this...

I have that model. There's a hole in the bottom (largest) pulley in the stack that is there just for the purpose of getting a screwdriver (Allen wrench on mine) in to loosen the setscrew.

Interesting - your Jordan has some of the design flourishes of the Wilton Shop King. The overall shape, how the the jaw ends flow into the body, and the swoops on the tops of the jaw towers. Wonder if there is some connection??

yeah, yeah, yeah. Now do it fast.:3gears:

Desmond? known for some heavy railroad type stuff - jacks IIRC. A brief 'net serch revealed Desmond did (does?) make vises similar to yours. Some double named Desmond Simplex. None I saw had the logo yours has, but I only spent 30 sec searching.

I just did a count, for the first time and holy cast iron, Batman!! The number is 39! I gotta get busy with all those ebay flips I had planned... I think the actual number I've done is umm 4? news flash - I just bought another Parker 63 1/2 - too good a deal to pass up. That makes the number...

I had one of those about a year ago but in 3/8 drive. I paid 50 cents for it! In the dollar bin on half-price day. I sold it on evilPay, cleared $13 after shipping and fees. Don't know whether the bigger ones are more valuable/scarce or not. YMMV!

You are possessed of great discernment and refinement - you seem to have picked the same color I did to restore my Parker 63 1/2! If not the same, close enough - Rusto Regal Red. I like your polished size/brand markings - may "borrow" that idea when I get around to refurbishing the rest of my...

"You ****" doesn't come close. :banhim:

I couldn't pass up the dumpster diving casters a few days back (post 4291) - figured I'd use them eventually for something. Then it hit me - my-oops, OUR--table saw has been a pain forever because it was mounted on a couple of doubled 2x4's. The wood shop is small, so it must be moved a few...

I make my own tool rolls, whip 'em out on a sewing machine using blue jeans from a thrift shop. The seriously wide load sizes work best, and are often the cheapest. Different weights of fabric, so be sure to get the heaviest. Don't know how to sew? C'mon, it ain't rocket science.

Click bait. And I bit. Everyone knows WD-40 is good for everything, great for nothing.

Yes, electrolysis, my favorite method of removing rust. A light hit by the wire wheel then puts the shine back on, and wax or WD-40 keeps it there. In this case, the heavy rust would have taken a lot of time on the wire wheel and risked damaging the handle. As it is I did put one small nick...

:dunno:if this qualifies, but bought it on evilPay just because I really like these Kobalts and the 22 ouncers are kind of rare. I probably overpaid at $22. Before-and-afters -- a little swim in the e-tank followed by some wire brushing and a paste wax rubdown.

WAAAAAYYYYY TOO TRUE!!!!:rant:

I never just throw them away. When I buy lots that include really worthless/useless tools I scrap them. I generate enough scrap copper in my business that it's worth while to scrap the steel too. A hundred or two pounds of steel scrap by itself isn't worth the gas money or my time! Excess...

Did a bit of dumpster diving, came up with these casters. Three inchers, the haul totaled two rigid, two swivel and 14 swivel with brakes. :bounce:
