Two of the many tools left in the house when we moved in was a pair of Record number 9 clamps. They did auto work, but not sure what they'd use these big clamps for. Anyway, here's some pictures.

The reason is this: - The OP wanted a Snap-On. He didn't want Mac. He didn't want S-K. He didn't want Craftsman. He didn't want anything but Snap-On. - The comment made was "I don't see the big deal about why you'd want Snap-On". The point here is that the OP isn't asking for advice, he's...

Sorry to rant, but I don't get posts like yours. The OP said he wanted to own just one Snap-On ratchet, not a vintage ratchet regardless of brand.. Nobody's talking about quality or anything else. Let him have his moment. - back on topic: I love the styling of those older ones. Congrats on...

Just picked up a 2 ton pump jack (off-brand, from China, headed to the scrap pile) and a Craftsman toolbox (top opens, 2 friction sliders below) for $20. Found a couple of snap-on, fuller (Canada), Husky and Stanley screwdrivers in the top. I had to take the jack with the toolbox. But that's OK.

Someone has been doing the same thing for ages in my area on Kijiji. They want 35K for a box of tools. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-hand-tool/hamilton/snap-on-tools-for-sale/1038822236?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Crazy. Thanks for looking into it though, that's a bro move. :)

Postal code up here in the Great White North is L9C 4B3. Thanks. Ryan

I just tried to order it through the Snap On Canada site, it's $1.50 and almost $6 in shipping! I don't get it. :(

I had one before but I must have removed it. Here you go: The light is bad because the sun is starting to set and shining right in the basement window. The dents in the doors aren't THAT bad, they are there and noticable but only when the light shines "just so" on them and if you run your...

I'd definitely suggest it, if you can. If you like the look of the Beach with the doors closed you'll like how the bottom looks when it's all put away. It should also cost a fraction of the SO box - but I have to ask, how did you come across something made in Canada, on the east coast, in...

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for a Beach topper. There was a B213 in another lot, but it was more the "big toolbox" style and I want something more like a B26/B29. B213: B26/B29:

Great read, thanks. It's from Canada (Truro, Nova Scotia) - I'm surprised they were selling so much when there was a war going on! Would've thought they'd be considered an essential service and have been supplying the military with parts and tools. Ryan

Thanks for your criticism. It's not constructive, but thanks anyway. If you're an "avid chest restorer" as you claim, why not do us the favour and post on how to do it, instead of on things like "boo hoo the sentences are too much"? For the simpletons: - Take it apart - Clean it - Put it...

It's not that bad to tear it down. You could even do it just on the parts that are bothering you. I found a couple of the drawers were sticky too - it was the white grease the previous owner used, all packed into the rails and sliders. I'm also going to be reaching out to Beach regarding the...

Lessons learned: - This wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. - It is a very messy job, and yes, you will cut your hands and knuckles getting into all the nooks and crannies of the drawers and the box. - Paint will come off while you're cleaning. By the end, the brush bristles were stained red...

Hi everyone. I've been looking around on here and couldn't really find any detailed how to's for beginners on how to take apart, clean, lube, and put back together an older style roll toolbox. Some background: - I am not a pro. - I have never done this before, but based on what I have seen...

Here's mine. Guessing it's 60s-70s vintage. Beach B-89 roll box. Love the classic Beach shield and the cover that blocks the doors - very clean lines on it. No plans to repaint, I'd like to think of it as car guys do - it's a "survivor" and the damage isn't a big deal to me, it helps tell...

I just removed some 20+ year old masking tape from a chest on the weekend and used a combination of the following: - scrape off whatever I could with a plastic card (old debit card) - Spray on Goo Gone, let work for 10-30 seconds - Wash plastic card in water, then use to scrape off the...

I bought a cheap Ryobi one last summer from Home Depot. http://www.homedepot.ca/product/4-1-2-inch-barrel-grip-angle-grinder/860973 It helped tear down a metal shed in conjunction with a Cman recip saw, and it took some pretty good abuse taking it down. It chewed through the discs but the...

Perhaps, but who would want a white barn?
