Hi, I'm trying to repair my Milwaukee M18 Sawzall and the parts list states to use Milwaukee Type L and Type B grease. Prices online are a bit unattractive, $26 for 1LB of Type L and $15 for 1LB of the Type B. Does anybody know what the equivalent grease of these would be? Or anybody that...

Hi, I've gotten into a power tool repair phase right now and it's gotten to the point that I need a soldering station now. My Weller soldering gun has too much power. I've been looking around on EBay every now and then. I've found a used Fx-888D for a fair price if nobody bids on it. I've heard...

Looking for a Hakko soldering station in good used condition. Willing to consider whatever y'all have. Thanks

Hi there, I've got a large cast iron Dutch oven that somebody has given me to get the rust off and re-season it. The problem is that it's too large to fit in our oven or anyone else's we know. I was thinking about making an oven box to put it in and using a propane burner to heat it. I used to...

Hi there, So I was browsing EBay and found a set of Napa tin snips for a good price. They look similar to Midwest snips. I've never picked up a set of Midwest, so I could be wrong. Can anybody make an educated guess on who made these? Any negative comments on them? Thanks

Looking for a good pair of nippers to remove some small fencing nails. I think I'll use them more for removing nails than cutting. I don't need the best, just want something made in USA or Germany, no Asian imports. Budget: Under $30 Possible Options: Proto J272G (8.25") Channellock E358...

Looking for Broken Power Tools Hi, I've recently gotten into repairing power tools and I'm looking to buy broken power tools (cordless or corded). I'm mainly interested in Dewalt or Milwaukee but will consider other brands too like Bosch or Makita. I'm also looking for 20v max and M18 lithium...

Hi, has anyone tried to rebuild a Milwaukee M18 battery. I haven't tried to take one of mine apart yet, but it just occurred to me that it might be possible. I read an article about cordless battery packs and they were talking about the 18650 cells. That's what got me thinking.

Hi, I have recently been trying to repair some power tools and I have had to do a few small solder jobs. Currently I have a Weller 7200 (which is pure garbage) and a Weller 8200. I cannot get the 7200 to heat any solder, but it gets so hot that the plastic casing around the gun is melting. The...

Hi, I'm looking for a metric set of the new style Proto USA reversible ratcheting spline wrenches. I'm looking for a lightly used set, I believe I can get up brand new set from Zoro with their 20% coupon for around $225. I would be in for around $200 or less. Thanks

So, I was at a store in Deridder, La the other day and I saw this tool box for sale for $10. Looked closer and it has "Valley Idustries Gerry, New York Made in USA". It's a nice little box and decently made too. I ended up buying it and really like it. I'm not familiar with this company, anybody...

Hi, I'm still very new here, but I've been on Garage Journal daily for about a month now. So if this is the wrong place to post this let me know. I was recently given a couple M18 Hackzalls that weren't working right, so I decided to see if I can fix them. It turns out, the only thing that is...

Does anybody know how I could get a Williams Tool catalog mailed to me? I've already contacted Snap On Industrial Brands, but they told me I could not receive one because I don't have an account with them. Thanks

Ok, I realize I am a new guy here, but I am not completely incompetent with figuring things out. I've been trying to use the search function on this forum and cannot get it to pull up anything related to what I search for. For example, I will search for "tool box" and check "titles only" and...
