    Gasoline Compressor

    I've got a wheelbarrow Emglo, with a Honda, and an ancient Quincy with a Wisconsin. Usually use the Emglo, as its way more portable. Neither have given me any problems beyond maintenance issues.

    Unplugging car harnesses without damage?

    I've used penetrating oil (one of the few good uses for WD40) and gentle heat from heat gun. Ford connectors always seem to fuse together.

    Snap On KRA 429 / Roll Cab ID?

    I wondered about that too, but slides are same as the mid box, and locks are same style. Wish I could post better pics, but resolution goes all to **** when I post them here. Idk why, they are good when I view them?

    Snap On KRA 429 / Roll Cab ID?

    Went to an auction Sunday, fair amount of tools, and lots of guns & reloading stuff. I've been wanting a KRA 429, to add on to the boxes I started out with, an old Matco bottom and Snap On top combination. Found these gems, and bought the pair for $90. Back of the mid box is marked 1 77, so I...

    Got the exact same setup, but I picked up this ancient internally expanding sleeve pulled that I use more often. Big ******* shown takes two guys to get set up.

    Useful Oscillating Tool Attachments

    Picked up a Dremel MM20 variable speed multitool today. I'm a lot better mechanic than carpenter, but could see this coming in handy at times. Any "must-have" accessories? Any to avoid?

    Beefing Up Chinese Tire Machine

    Gave Dad my old TSC / Larin tire machine. Made similar to the HF one, but just maybe a bit heavier. Was afraid of the head breaker arm turning into a pretzel, so beefed it up a bit. Some 1x1/4 flat iron and 7014 rod and turned it into a pretty beefy piece now.

    Cordless tools lying around shop

    This is utter hackery, but come in handy a few times. If any are approximately 12v, just splice in some wire and clamps to use with car battery out in the field.

    Curved vs. Straight Pry Bars

    Prybars are like golf clubs, but you can argue that any tool is. You assess your situation and select the tool. The outcome depends on the appropriate tool selection and the skill with which it is used.

    Help ID Old Bench Grinder

    No holes in base for a name tag. I'll try to get a pic of the rats nest under the base. I don't know why I can't get better resolution on my pics. They are great anywhere else I send them, but I post them on here and they get all grainy.

    What's this stuff worth I found in the barn?

    The grapples seem to sell all over the place at auction. Same for track and carriage. Seen it sell for $200, seen it sell for $5. That track works nice for light duty overhead lifting in a shop.

    Can anyone tell me what I've got here? Spins freely but only runs slow. Don't hear a centrifugal switch, and there is no capacitor in the base.

    Thanks for sharing that pic. It does look similar. Any idea if this would use a start cap? I'd think it would about have to?

    Help ID Old Bench Grinder

    It's consignment auction season here in Southeast NE, so been going to a few lately. Usual mix of everything from tractors to used washer/dryers. Spotted this gnarly old 8" bench grinder, bid a few times, and won the privilege of carrying this damned thing 3 blocks to my truck! Suspect it's a...
