    Anyone ever seen one of these?

    I'm wondering if it isn't some sort of machine shop class project?

    What's considered a good price for 3/4" drive Craftsman sockets?

    Saw a like new Craftsman 3/4" ratchet sell for $105 about a month ago, on an auction. I'd keep an eye out for a garage sale or pawnshop set.

    T&D Metal Works Tool Box

    I noticed it is very similar to a GMTK (general mechanics tool kit) box from WW2. In fact, it is identical, except deeper, or taller. I wonder if T&D may have bought tooling to make these at some time, and tweaked the design a bit?

    Fluke T5-600

    My old Amprobe is getting pretty hammered, and I stumbled across a used Fluke T5-600 last week for 30. Haven't really used it much, but I do like the open jaw ammeter. Anyone else use one?

    T&D Metal Works Tool Box

    Snagged this off a garage sale for $10 a few weeks back. Never seen another. It's stenciled "Dental Supplies" on the side. Hurts just to see that!

    Vise Grip Philosophy

    I live about 15 miles from Dewitt NE, and knew a lot of the people that worked there. The collective pride they had in their company and the product would be the envy of any company on earth. The Rubbermaid buy out put the writing on the wall. People saw it coming for 4-5 years. What was...

    Good Uses for 1" and 3/4" Sockets & Ratchets?

    On farm equipment, I would hazard a guess that my 1/2" drive stuff sees less use than my 3/4 drive.

    Posting Pics...Quality Bad

    Why is it the pics I take with my IPhone are sharp and clear, but when I post them here they are always grainy and out of focus in my threads?

    $1? Heck Yeah!

    Garage sale this morning. Nothing priced so brought these up to the lady and asked how much? "Dollar" she replied, not even looking up from her book! Wasn't going to argue! Diamond, Crestoloy and a J H Williams. The pliers are Pexto.....any idea what they are intended for?

    File cabinet for tool storage advice

    Most of my power tools reside in a big old conventional style file cabinet. I sort of organize by type.. Saws in one, drills in another, grinders, and "others". Top drawer is drill bits, saw blades, hole saws....basically power tool accessories. Mine is mounted on an angle iron base with casters...
