I would buy a used name brand welder before I would buy a HF welder. If you can't get parts for it, you are pretty much screwed. It is one thing to buy a HF drill or angle grinder for $19 and if it dies after a year toss it. But a welder is a bit too much money to toss.

Not even close, all my air tools are Ingersoll Rand except to two oddball air ratchets. The I/R air tools even smoke Snap-on air tools, Harbor Freight is better that Blue Point

Looks just like the old Wilton belt sander/grinder. I bought one back in the 80's to use with my balancer to match the weights of rods. Best belt sander I ever used, wish they still made them. I think it was called the Wilton Square Wheel.

I bought a top riser and two top lockers from my dealer on the 'truck account' for my KRL 1003. I asked him if $300 down and $50 a week would work, if not tell me what would work. He agreed to it, I gave him $300 when I ordered it and $50 a week until paid for. One thing I will say the old...

That is one sweet lathe, I love the feel of running a LeBlond lathe.

A lot of the small metal shops around here have plate 1/4-3/8-1/2" thick plate cut to different sizes like 4x4, 6x6, 8x8. Mostly sheared flat stock in the above thicknesses. I buy a bunch of 6x6 3/8" plate for knock over pistol/shotgun targets. For rifle I order AR500 that is laser cut from a...

We've had alloy wheels repaired at work with chunks missing, and the price was a 1/4 of a new wheel. Last couple Ford alloy wheels I bought were close to $700 my cost, retail over $900. You'd think Boyd Coddington made them personally

How deep is the road rash? I've chucked wheels in a lathe and given them a light clean up cut, then a polish.

Truthfully I hope it works out for SBD/Craftsman, maybe some tools made in the U.S. and other made overseas but insist on QUALITY. Look at Gearwrench and Gray Pneumatic, even though made overseas the quality is good.

One of the guys here had the Matco with the sliding top, wasn't a bad cart. Only thing I hate about sliding tops is in a few weeks it would be covered with **** like my big Snap On tool box.

I had one of my M18 batteries that wouldn't charge. Swapped it out at the local Milwaukee repair center in 10 minutes. Finally have one of my M12 batteries dying. Thing is 5 years old at least of hard use. I guess it is time to get some more M12 batteries

Only Snap On hardiron not warrantied have a 'X" in the part number, they were sold on a government account. Call Snap On they will take care of you. I've had them send me broken tools and not ask for the old one back. Yours you may need to send in, Snap On off your pic will send you a UPS label.

I have both 3/8" and 1/2" drive, I put batteries in when I use them and take them out when done. I also NEVER use Duracell batteries they all leak. The TechAngle is OK, I find it easier to paint mark each bolt, so when they are fully tightened they line up in the same direction. Also if you...

Same here, I use my Milwaukee 90% of the time to get lug nuts off. If not my IR comes out. Snap On air tools are just Ok quality, but are really expensive. You can get a good IR 231 for under $200 U.S.

They were made by Lincoln (now Hein Warner), they are a great jack. I have one it is 30 years old and still works great. You can still get parts for them. Snap On part # was YA700

Check your drain, it is probably plugged up. After cleaning, there are treatment to pour in the drain monthly to keep **** from building up.

Right around the same time maybe a month later than the Sears Christmas catalog came out a huge tool sale catalog would come out. Price less than 1/2 the price in the store. Back then the tools were really good quality and well finished. This was in the late 60's early 70's.

A frame is a lot of sand blasting, you'd need a pressure pot sand blaster was a 25-30 H.P. rotary compressor. Find a commercial sand blasting shop they are set up to deal with the right equipment and to deal with the mess. DO NOT let a sand blaster blast the body, it will warp the panels. Have...

Get the I/R or Quincy for aircompressorsdirect.com or Northern Hydraulics. Boby shop work wears out cheap compressors.

I have one, works great. By pulling the vacuum on the cooling system you can also see if there are any leaks before filling with coolant.
