My 1982 Speedaire 33 gallon compressor... I usually have this 26 gallon tank plugged in and have my tools running off of the blue hose. When I need a lot of air for blasting or whatnot, I add the green 25 gallon tank inline as well.

To the best of my knowledge all of these tools are from the 1920's - 1930's. First is a 1/2" drive Craftsman ratchet with 8 6-point sockets in sizes: 11/32" 3/8" 19/32" 3/4" 25/32" 13/16" 7/8" 15/16" ...and 8 square head sockets, sizes: 11/32" 3/8" 7/16" 9/16" 5/8" 11/16" 3/4" 7/8"...

Re: What did you do to your garage today? I ended up with this big *** valve from a buddy that works on heavy equipment. The valve measures 12 inches across at the face, and the stem stands 36 inches tall. It's solid stainless steel and weighs in at 95 pounds. I have no idea what it came...

I'm looking for ideas to better organize my drill bits. My Dad was a machinist and left me with a good size box full of drill bits mostly ranging from 1/64" - 1/2". The box weighs 75 pounds so there are quite a few drill bits I'm dealing with. I would guess at least 90% are brand new, there are...

I have a set of Performance Tool SAE and another PT set of metrics, both deep, 1/2" drive. I think I got them both at Tractor Supply for $10 a set on sale. They served me well at the dealership on a daily basis and now at my home shop several times a week and I haven't broken one yet, and that's...

Yeah, I still have it. It has less than 10 miles on everything. I don't really have a use for the thing, but I can't bring myself to get rid of it either.

That is really cool! I built a motorized bike for my Dad just before he passed away. It runs real good.

Very nice! I'm digging the little Snap On ratchets! I need to start hitting up yard sales again, I've taken a few months off. Before I joined here I hit a sale and scored a small box full of 3/8" extensions, breaker bars, speed handles, etc. All Snap On, all $1 a piece. I also got a cool old...

Re: What did you do to your garage today? No dipstick or gauge. It's got a fill plug and a drain plug, that's it, just like the rear diff. It wasn't leaking, didn't give me any reason for concern or I would have addressed it much sooner. I took the old diff apart and the only damage I can...

Re: What did you do to your garage today? Fixed my wife's DD this weekend. It's an '02 Trailblazer with 4.2 inline 6 4x4. Ran the front differential dry before I got around to checking the oil level. To replace the differential I had to pull: Two crossmembers, Steering rack, strut assemblies...

I can't take the credit, I got the idea off of a thread that was posted here not too long ago. I made mine out of wire uniform hangers. I straightened the hanger out and wound it around a 1/2" extension. The coils do a good job holding the wrenches, and you can tweak each slot to fit each...

Thanks to GJ I have gotten most of my tools in one area in a somewhat organized fashion. Now that it's 'almost there' I wanted to share. Here's a view of the back wall. To the right is my old Craftsman box that serves as my welding cart for now, and storage for some duplicate tools. I made...

Working out of my home garage at the moment.

I've had this one for a couple of years: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000U0JCPO/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I keep it on my 1970 Camaro most of the time, it does a good job for me, has great reviews and is reasonably priced. FWIW The label on the back says it's made by Xantrex.

I got this Bluepoint off the SO truck a couple of years ago when I was at the dealership. It's been a damn good box. The HF box in the background is a recent addition.

Corpus? I'm from where Selena was born, up the coast a ways from you. That's a nice space you have there, I'm envious.

Just a little update... I purchased the replacement part (reduction spindle 38-50-5250) off ebay, shipping and all came in under $20 total. The spindle came in today, I swapped it out, which took about a half hour, and now have a working drill again! It was a pretty straight-forward procedure...

Long ago I took this baby arc welder in on trade for some work. It's been sitting on the bottom shelf of my cabinet, I just about forgot about it until today. It's obviously brand new, the cables are still wrapped up like would have come from the factory. It's still got the manual still in...

No interest?
