Thank you

I know this is an old thread, but can anybody with a Versa Vise handy tell me the diameter of the portion of the base that the vise slips over? I need to make one but don't have my vise to get measurements from.

Please throw my name in the hat. Thanks.

Im late on posting these. I haven't really picked up many tools lately. However, I did pick up some rather large pieces of equipment recently that I guess can be posted here. First, a while back I started a thread about deciding between a skid steer or a backhoe. Since I had access to a skid...

I picked up a set for my backhoe a few weeks ago. I used them one time to lift a log, and when I dumped the log out, it bent the **** out of them. They were "rated" for 4,500 lbs and couldn't handle one small log. Now they are scrap metal. I'm sure there are good brands and bad brands, mine...

Has to be big enough for 3 dogs, plus it will have a wall mounted heater.

Trying to save money on the cost of an insulated dog house in preparation of the coming winter, I decided to build one large enough to fit 3 of my dogs. Well I didn't work from plans, only an idea in my head, and when it was all said and done, it wound up costing much more than the cost of a...

The Farm Boss series of saws are easy to rebuild and parts are plentiful if you are ok with going after market. You may also get lucky and be able to clean up the cylinder and get by with just a new piston and rings. Typically when a saw is straight gassed, which that one appears to have had...

My dad has one in his shop. We had to make an adapter for the collets. I can't remember off hand how we did it now, but it works great.

If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed it either.

I remember years ago my dad's buddy was tearing the 429 out of my dad's dump truck down to rebuild the engine. This guy is about 5' tall, but he was breaking head bolts loose with a speed wrench. I don't know what kind of torque a normal guy can produce, but a speed wrench only gives you about...

Looks great. Hope to get my range set up soon, but have to wait for the corn to come down.

I have several guns that I need to sight in. Figured it was a good time to build a proper shooting bench. I have wanted one for years.

I wonder if it is just a case of which customer service rep. responded to your inquiry. I have heard people complain about warranties on Snap on tools when emailing them instead of taking them to a sales rep, and being denied, but I have had good luck getting free rebuild kits and even...

My first good day of yardsales all season. I didn't find a lot of sales but the few I found had some good stuff. First one was a moving sale. I picked up a Schumacher charger, two snap on ratchets, and what I thought was a U.S. military footlocker. I didn't realize until I got it home that...

The biggest reason for the diesel is just the longevity of the engines compared to gas. The diesels are typically rated in thousands of hours where are the gas engines are rated in the hundreds if hours. My grasshopper with a Kubota diesel has been going strong for nearly 30 years. If I get...

I don't know how to reply to that comment. I did ask about getting a Bad Boy shirt or hat when I bought it but then thought how stupid I would look wearing a hat or shirt that said Bad Boy in big letters so I declined. I also ordered the old man bucket attachment with tongs that allow me to...

Not technically a tool, but it does work so I'm going to count it. I have been using a 30 year old Grasshopper mower with a Kubota engine, and while the engine ran good, just about everything else was getting worn out. So it was time for an upgrade. After months of searching different brands...

I finally made it out to a yardsale after almost a season and a half of not getting to go. First yardsale I picked up the following: 4", 3",2",and 1" Brown and Sharpe Mics Mitutoyo dial calipers Starrett depth mic Lisle disconnect tool set Snap on 2 1/2" Crowsfoot Mac window crank removal...

Is that a Stevens 520? I have the same gun but under the Ranger brand offered by Sears. They are unique for sure.
