    Garage financing options...

    It's only a 2 year loan I believe is what my dad was quoted at for $100 a month. If the OP is needing or wanting a garage workspace its a more feasible option to go with then getting a huge loan to build a garage. This way the OP has some workspace. My dad would have went with it but he found a...

    Ridgid or Dewalt compact table saw?

    Honestly I'd go with Rigid. Lifetime service agreement if you register it is very nice to have. With occasional use you probably won't t need the service agreement but you never know. Just my .02 Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Garage financing options...

    I know where I'm at there is a lot of companes that sell sheds and slightly bigger than sheds that people pay monthly on. My dad had looked at a 12x16 and they quoted him $100 a month. Which isn't bad and you won't have to get a loan for. Plus it will give you a little workspace til you can get...

    I'll have to check and take a picture. I probably just assumed when I saw the Chicago Illinois. I try not to assume but it happens sometimes. I'll get a picture when I get home later. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    I have a buddy who's trying to fix up an old Reed 33 and the slide is cracked and he plans on welding the crack. Is there a reason why your using those muggyweld 77 rods? Do they work better for cast iron? Thanks for the advice. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Interesting. Also very clever of you to use the Berlin Wall as sort of a date marker. Definitely a cool find. I doubt I'll see any around here but I'm gonna keep my eyes open. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    That's really co. That's why I like old tools. They have history to them. Just curious... How is the quality on that wrench? Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Found tool on side of the road - what now?

    You brought him home with you. There's no way you can kick the little ****** out now. My advice for what it's worth...hit some sales or second-hand stores and find more orphans like him. They all need homes. Just don't forget to spay and neuter. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Thanks. Yeah I wasn't going to grab them earlier unless I was sure the top was SO. For the price I'm happy. Ive had problems trying to find dates on the cman toolboxes at times so it's nice to know where to look. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    2019 Garage Sale Thread

    Just picked these up today for $20 off letgo. They look like they went ten rounds with Cassius but they are fixable and they have good bones. I will say this the kra58D feels like it's 3 times heavier than the kra53 I got about a week ago. I know it has more drawers so it should be heavier but...

    Grainger owns Dayton or something like that. I was trying to do some research on it when I got it before I posted the picture. All I really know about it is that it's older than me and runs good. Thought about going back to the guys house I bought it at but I doubt he would remember much about...

    Craftsman Toolbox Thread

    So I picked this up an hour or so ago off of letgo. Got the top and bottom for $20. They look rough but it's just surface rust. Nothing that can't be repaired. I know what the top box is someone helped me out earlier before I decided to buy. My question pertains to the bottom box. Where would I...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Most every single tool I own is used and most are older than me. But they all work great and I paid way less than what I would pay for harbor freight or Chinese junk. Due to not being able to work at the moment I'm able to take my time reacquiring good quality tools. Plus I enjoy digging...

    Nice find. I found the 19in version not too long ago. Didn't even know they made them. I wrongly assumed it was just machinist boxes. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

    Thanks. I fully intend to have my buddy who is a mechanic show me how to replace struts if they ever need done on my vehicle. I don't like peppering him with questions all day long because I don't think he would get any work done. So thank you all for taking the time to answer. Really appreciate...

    That looks good. I like the shape of that vise. Does simple green remove factory paint as well? I recently got a small cman heritage toolbox that someone spray bombed and I want to remove the spray paint and leave the factory paint intact. Is this possible with simple green? Thanks in advance...
