Thank you. I have started reading a book on auto repair. Yes a book isn't the same as hands on but finding the time to get hands on experience usually only happens when a family members car breaks down. So I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using...

Obviously a strut compressor compresses struts but why do that? Sorry if my question sounds stupid..just curious is all. I shouldn't assume but I figured if your ordered struts you could just remove the old ones and put the new ones in. Thanks in advance...just trying to learn. Sent from my...

Re: Older Hand Tools: Indestro, Bonney, TrueCraft, Thorsen, Spintite .... [emoji781]

It's ok. The guy I bought it from had it in his for a long time. He couldn't remember when he got it. Does say made in USA FWIW. But then again so do a lot of things that were made over there. I will say this though it is super super quiet. I've used other people's grinders and they always ran...

Yes hollands and superior were made by the same company but before that the Erie tool works was on 12th and cascade and hollands were mfg on east lake road if I'm remembering correctly Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

The reed vise factory is only about a mile from where the superior vise factory was and a few miles from where they made the Hollands vises. I know I had a few relatives that had worked at both the superior and the reed factories. Sadly they passed on before I was born so I can only get very...

Well I just picked up this little Thor 4" for $10 at a second hand store about 30 minutes ago. Probably going to give my dad the Dayton 7" and keep this little guy for myself. I don't have a garage so space is an issue in a little laundry room that is 12' x 7'. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using...

Thanks for helping me learn something new. I disassembled a lawnmower engine in high school but never got very far in reassembly. I'm pretty good mechanically but using a ridge reamer is a little out of my wheelhouse. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

That acetate handle is pretty cool. What exactly is a ridge reamer if you don't mind me asking? Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

Honestly I paid $20 for that set and some other cman sockets and such. It was the first time I went hunting in the wilds for tools. Its why I joined GJ. Once I read about the history I decided to start collecting. Lots of history in old tools. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

I buy boxes like that with high quality tools all the time. When people price them like that I am almost forced to buy it. I haven't bought a bad box of tools yet. Nice find. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk
