I've got a cheap (probably HF) magnetic pickup tool that wouldn't even remove the C-clips in my Ford 8.8 rearend. Who makes a good one, preferrably telescopic, that can lift heavy bolts and metal objects that may be covered with grease and oil and that won't break the bank?

This is a 16-speed Vulcan (yeah, I know it's HF) drill press head that works great and is in excellent condition. It's the head unit only. When I acquired the drill press it had a broken table. The pole and stand are long gone. This head unit fits on a standard sized pole, 2-3/4" the same as...

I need to sink probably a couple dozen RivNuts into my 'T' roadster frame for various mounting points. Most of 'em will be 1/4". What's the best quality tool for the least amount of money (under $100) out there? I've been looking at this one...

UPDATE: The clock has SOLD! Thanks for all the interest! Here is a very cool Chevron clock for sale. I acquired it years ago and never used it. It works fine and is in excellent condition. 13" face and crisp colors. $20 + the ride.

I peruse the 'free' section because I'm just a cheap sucker! 10 minutes ago I picked up this a block away............. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/zip/6114808012.html A little cleaning and it's good as new! If anyone is up here in the SF Bay Area (North Bay) how about a ton of free...

I need to plane a door and I figured what better time to dig out my dad's old plane, than now! I inherited all his belongings when he passed in the '90s. Took a look at it and decided, I can't do much with the blade in that condition. Where can I acquire a new blade for one of these. It's...

I need a top quality weed barrier for the off street parking area I'm creating on the side of my driveway. I don't want the 3' rolls of Home Depot stuff. I need at least 6' wide, quality barrier that will keep the weeds to a bare minimum. What do the pros use for weed control? I'm looking at...

Don't know much about Smith lathes, it's missing the chuck but it looks like a beast and the price ain't bad either! Posted a couple of hours ago. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/zip/6084366281.html

I'm gonna make this area into some off street parking. It's about 500 sq ft. Tree stumps are getting ground down next week and the neighbor is gonna supply a Bobcat from his work to remove the brush and dirt. I plan to fill it with base rock and maybe a layer of something nicer over the top...

OK, I don't frequent this area of the forum much so please forgive this basic question. I'm looking for some kind of full garage floor mat/tiles to lay down in my standard 20'x23' two car garage. The problem is, arthritis in my feet and I just can't stand on concrete for hours on end anymore...

I don't want/need a gas powered unit. I don't live out in the country, have acres of land or tall/thick grasses. I don't even have a lawn. I live on 13,000 sq ft of landscaped property with lots of sprouting grass/weeds thanks to el nino over the winter. I had a 2 yr old Black & Decker unit...

I blew out the contactor and range switch on my 220v rig due to all the sheetmetal stitch welding I did on the roadster. Several hundred $$$ to repair it! That prompted me to pickup a cheap 110v Ebay special for sheetmetal work and save the 220v for heavy welding. I wanted to combine the two...

They don't need to be 1/2" steel, I just need something that'll work. I just bought some 3-ton Pittsburg HF stands.............OMG! Looks like they're made with 14ga sheetmetal and they won't even sit flat on the concrete! They wobble from side to side! I don't think so! I looked at these...

Normally, when it cycles it builds up air pressure to about 130psi, shuts off automatically and then gives a pssssssst sound. Now, it builds up pressure to 130psi, shuts off automatically and there's no pssssssst sound. Something is askew! Other than that, everything works fine. I'd like to...

Found it at work in the bottom of some processing equipment, wrapped in a WalMart plastic bag! We occasionally have outside contracting crews come in for specialized work. The last one was probably a year or two ago. 2 supervisors gave me the OK to take it home if no one claimed it. The...

My Hobart Ironman 210 took a dump! Needs an new contactor and range switch. 3 hrs labor + parts = $660! Ouch! I've had it for 3 years and have done quite a bit of welding with it. My question: Is it possible the contactor went out because of all the stitch welding I've done? I've welded a lot...

My Hobart Ironman 210 stopped working this afternoon. It worked fine this morning! I pull the trigger, wire feeds but no arc. Bad ground? No. Chucked a piece of freshly ground 1/4" plate in the vise, grounded directly to the metal.......no arc. Wire brushed the ground clamp and checked...

Sitting on a table outside in Weaverville, CA. Store was closed so I don't know how much they wanted for it but thought it was highly cool so I snapped a pic. Just wanted to share.

I have a 10R and 7R, both Petersens and I need a couple more different sizes. Not willing to pay a fortune for more Petersens so what's the next best brand that won't break the bank? Are the Irwins any good? I prefer the straight jaws. Any help is greatly appreciated!

With the 7' power cable I can only weld in certain areas of my shop. Sometimes I need to weld outside. I picked up this 25' cable used for a motor home for $5 at a garage sale. It's a 12/3 with the wrong head on it. My MIG has a 10/3 cable with the correct head. The plan is to cut the...
