Picked up this 6" Greenlee slick yesterday. Anybody else have one? They seem to be fairly scarce. Most slicks are 4 1/2" or less.

Anybody ever seen one? It would be a definite improvement. Specifically a bench model.

I have a limited number of odd antique wrenches, and these are some I like. They range from 5" to 20", and like a lot of wrenches the smallest and largest are the hardest to find. The 2 biggest I have now are these 15" models. Anybody else like these? I'd like to get a couple of the 20" size...

About 30 years ago, I replaced the galvanized pipe water supply line from the meter to my house with some blue plastic tubing that was recommended. Don't recall the name, but it was flexible and came in big coils. The ends used barbed plastic fittings which were pressed in. A few years ago a...

Looking for info on this Albany Hardware Speciality Drill press. A fairly unusual drill press with friction drive. I have one in running condition, but am missing the nameplate. Will have a new one made, but can't quite read all the wording on the plate in pictures I have available. Anybody...

I picked up this 4 1/2" Wilton swivel jaw vise and have a couple of questions: Are the "shoe" clamps that lock the swivel base available somewhere? Mine only has one and there is just a carriage bolt in the other side. Also: Are the dust/end caps available somewhere? This measures just...

I don't collect oil cans, but this was too cool to pass up. First one I've seen and didn't find much about them online. Telescoping spout. Brass construction. Pic of the top taken with the spout removed. Notice the patent date is 1884 on the can, but 1894 on the paperwork?

I recently bought the biggest wrench on the bottom. 44" long, 50 lbs, wedge lock. Shown with a 32" Coes Key Model wrench and 24" Crescent for scale. Very rusty, looked like it had been in a river for decades, and frozen solid. Got it freed up and knocked off the loose rust. Anybody know who...

"New - Out of box" . Look at the pictures. https://www.ebay.com/itm/UNUSED-1940s-Wilton-940-WE-Machinist-Bullet-Bench-Vise-Swivel-Base-4-Machinist/202866691402 :headscrat

I do, and they come in different styles.

Anybody know anything about this company? Not having much luck online. It's a hydraulic Hill (water) Ram made by Johnson Mfg. in Seattle. I've seen water rams made by other companies, but not this one.

My 40 year old shop has 12" lap siding that was made by Masonite, etc. Moisture has worked it's way in and the siding is deteriorating. I'm planning on replacing all the shop siding this year. The house has similar siding and I've replaced some of it with 12" Hardieplank. It seems like a lot...

I have a 20' x 20' concrete area with a rough exposed aggregate surface that I would like to smooth out. What would be a good product to use for this - 1/4" +/- thick, and what cleaning & prep will be needed? The area is divided into random shaped pieces with wood 1" x 4" strips. Concrete...

Just acquired this guy today. Called the Auto Hand Drill. Made by the Best Tool Co., Boston, Mass. 1895 patent. Has a real Gizmo thing about. Scarce, and expensive when they show up at tool collector meets. You pull out the wood knob with the leather strap attached to turn the drill. It...

These don't turn up very often around here. It's 48" tall, and weighs over 100lbs. Also came with 3 USA made tongs. I have no use for it, but certainly wasn't going to pass it up. :thumbup:

Had a guy send me this picture asking if I knew what it was. Obviously I don't. ;)

Long time serious collector always looking for more. Lots of folks have a chest or box of grandpa's old tools tucked away that they have no use for. Give me a shot at saving them. Thanks

Ca. 1908. I don't collect sockets & ratchets, but this was too cool to pass up. It reverses by moving the collar up/down the shaft. :thumbup:

Just an old retired millwright that still likes to spend time in my shop. Nearly everything is good old US iron, and one thing I enjoy is rescuing old machines so they can be put back to use. I collect old woodworking tools like planes, levels, chisels, axes, etc. also. And...there are a...
