Yeah, those look a whole lot like mine as well. I just looked closer at the ones I linked, and they're similar but have spring- loaded pins for height adjustment. Mine (and the Eastwoods, looks like) have little carriage bolts and wing nuts.

I've got a set (two, actually, found some free ones a few weeks ago curbside) of the folding adjustable height stamped sheet metal ones like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/XDD-34-in-Adjustable-Folding-Sawhorse-2-Pack-SH3801-2/309904807 They store easily, don't take too long to set up (it's...

I've only ordered from KC Tool once or twice, but my impression is that they've got their **** together. It took a little while for a couple backordered things to get to them, as expected. I got a free #2 Phillips bit in a sack with a card ("A Bit of Thanks") and some Wera promotional...

Drain plug sockets is my guess. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2YGB06/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Edited to add, my old long- gone AMC built Jeep pickup had 1/2" female square drain and fill plugs on the (manual) transmission and transfer case. Some gearboxes, final drives, and whatnots on old IH...

:wtf: Reminds me of this... :bounce:

I think any time you find yourself looking at a simple, widely discussed, known issue and think one side is all opinions but the other is FACTS, you should probably take a deep breath and think about how exactly you got there... doubly so if youtube is your source material. Lots of folks like...

ACX definitely exists and is easy to find at real lumberyards (and even more expensive than it used to be). BCX might be stocked or need to be ordered, would depend on the yard, but I don't recall seeing it around here (same with shop panels). Dunno about 1/4" CDX availability. I'd guess CDX...

I have no idea, but I bet the folks in the Vintage Forum can figure it out. Try sending an active mod like NUTTSGT or Thecobbler a pm and see if they can move it for you.

Lol, me neither... I didn't want to load up that sentence with a whole bunch of qualifying statements and make it harder to read. The only Oxwall stuff I see regularly (different kind of bias right there) are the little stamped sheet steel ignition wrenches . Maybe they're good enough for what...

Isn't that pretty much the definition of survivorship bias? All the cheap junk and defective tools broke years ago, so all that's left is the well- made stuff that's less likely to break. I'm not trying to piss in your cornflakes - I love old US- made tools too and own a bunch of them. One of...

IIRC, I bought it from a generic ebay closeout joint called "Wesaveyou$" around 2016 or so... they ran low starting bid auctions on a wide weird variety of Armstrong stuff and a bunch of other things (still do, maybe a good source for Keurig cups?), but they ran out of Armstrong stuff a long...

You really don't know until you test it, though. I've pulled samples I thought would undoubtedly come back hot (black vinyl sheet backing, black tar adhesive, chunks of 1970's 9x9 tile) that were clean. That said, at some point asbestos was in just about everything you can find in a building...

I'd like to hear your thoughts about it- seems likely it might be useful for some folks in ways that escape me.

I got busy and fell behind- I'm going to try to finish posting my odds and ends in the next few days... maybe bumping the thread will inspire some other folks to post pics. :thumbup: Full polish long pattern 6 point combos, 7 - 10mm. A couple from Cripe, a couple from another ebay seller...

Thanks, I eyeballed the photo for a couple minutes and couldn't figure it out either. IME all that "feature" does is snag pallet wrap- it's too small to be useful without futzing about slowly when used on normal tying or baling twine... it'd work better for thread or monofilament, but you've...

So I saw this thread pop up a few days ago and went looking for my trusty household hammer- which turned out to be a Jobmaster. I saw the spiral screwdriver thread and went looking for my British-zone post WWII German one, and found a Yankee Handyman instead (I don't remember buying it, but...

Wow, quite a collection there! I have a handful of old braces- a couple nicer old wood Millers Falls and Stanley, and some cheapies to cannibalize parts from (chuck jaws mostly) and for pumpkin duty. And a slew of old bits I need to learn to sharpen well. At this point I'm only looking for...

The black DOE's aren't marked Germany at all, and the Saab wrench is just odd- marked Heyco Import, and SAE.

Thanks Monte, I've never run into Heynen or Heytec stuff before that I can recall... and most of the Heyco I come across are toolkit wrenches. I'm a couple months late, but here are pics of the Irish German 10mm combo with some other Heyco wrenches I've found over the years. All the autokit...

I would live with it if I already had it (damp mop it, don't sweep), but no way would I ever consider installing it, even if Canada didn't get around to passing sorta- comprehensive legislation just two years ago. VCT and its adhesive are cheap enough to not have to worry about having...
