Thanks to GJ I gained a Craftsman addiction. It started with a toolbox, then I added a block grinder, then I decided I needed a garage full of vintage tools...even the ones I'm not likely to use. Like all my hobbies I've upgraded and sold off what I don't need or flip some of my finds to help...

I got my hands on a 100.2364 and have it mostly cleaned up and back to working order. I can't seem to be able to remove the hub and pinion though. On my larger floor-standing version I was able to tap it out with a socket and hammer, but this one doesn't seem to fit out the hub side. It acts...

20201204_203221 by M. Blue 240, on Flickr I picked this great grinder off CL. The seller stated I was 2nd in line, but then told me I could have it for free. The first buyer showed up and walked away from it when it threw the garage breaker when they tested it. With the promise to fix it the...

A few years ago I inherited a handful of tools that were my Grandfather's. I put them away in a box and didn't think much of them until I saw something on gj about wood handled screw drivers. I pulled everything out a few weeks ago and low and behold I have some cool stuff. I could use some help...

My local Autozone has a double pack of Mechanix gloves on sale for $20. You get a pair of original black gloves and a pair of grey fast fit gloves. I can't find the deal online, so prices may vary by store. They're hanging right next to the single pairs of gloves listed at $20.

Brand new never used Craftsman 3/8" drive flex head ratchet. Clearly stamped USA and still in original packaging. I just bought it new at Ace, but snagged a used one this weekend. I can return the new one, but thought someone may want a chance at owning a ratchet that was still made here. $25...

I have an auto search running for Craftsman items on my local craigslist. I keep looking for bargins on vintage items, but I come across some stuff thats out of my price range. Heres what looks good right now: Craftsman 10" Tablesaw, replaced motor. $125...

I went and made a list of what I need, sadly I'll have to get even more than I've listed before I have everything I want. 3/8" deep 6 point 6mm 7mm 8mm 9mm - Got it! 16mm - Got it! 17mm - Got it! 19mm - Got it! 20mm 3/8" shallow 6 point 13/16" - Got it! 7/8" - Got it! 15/16" 1" 3/8"...

I tried responding in a sale thread and got a message saying I don't have access. Thought it was a fluke, but it happens in every sale thread. I have posted in other general threads tonight without issue. Any ideas?

I've skimmed the several threads on here about the downward spiral of Sears, but have taken to shoving my fingers in my ears and humming. I had hoped there were a couple of years left for me to piece my set together before everything went to China, I was wrong. In Novemeber I bought one of the...

Yes, I said wheel and not reel. I want to mount a car wheel on the outside of my house to wrap my garden hose around. Usually when I have a project I can map out every detail in my head, but for the life of me I'm drawing a blank right now. Please help me figure out what I need to do...

Brand new, never used, Gerber 600 multi tool. Just like you'd buy at the store, but at a lower price. Still has the factory graphite (I'm guessing) lube on all the moving areas. I've restrained myself from using this, so no sharp edges have been used to cut. Retail is around $80, I'm asking just...

Used, but in great condition. It is a model 600 Pro-Scout, retails for $80 new. Its a one handed tool, the pliers pop out with a flick of the wrist. I just cleaned and lubed it, even though it didn't need it, so the new owner can go straight to work with it. Asking $42 shipped via priority mail...

I have an elderly neighbor that I've been trying to help out since I bought my house three years ago. It started with my Dad buying one of his parked cars(he had 5 cars and only drove one), which led to the discovery of tons of car parts. While digging out every part that could go to the car my...

For some reason the forum isn't storing any of my sent messages. Right now I'm just hoping people quote me in their reply so I can remember what I originally said. All of my recieved messages are being stored without issue. Do I need to change a setting somewhere?

I have a ton of stickers and decals with no place to use them. I figured rather than hoarding them I'd share them with the GJ community. The smaller ones that fit in the standard legal envelope can be mailed out right away, while the larger items will be mailed out once I find packaging large...

My wheel studs have been buggered up for awhile now, thanks to tire techs not caring about how the lugnut goes on. I figure the easiest/cheapest solution is to chase the threads and clean them up. I'd like to do the task while keeping the car together. HF has a few sets, but I don't think I'd...

Since signing up on GJ I've gotten hooked on vintage Craftsman stuff, especially the boxes. When I saw a grey and red top box matching the style of boxes my Dad and Grandpa had I jumped on it. The CL seller was asking $120 for the vintage top box, newer bottom box and an extra $10 for a particle...

Before Black Friday I went shopping for a tool kit and decided on a 303pc set, then it dissapeared off their webpage. I bought a 200pc set, just came yesterday, on a good deal. Now the 303pc set is back on the sight and I'm wondering if I should exchange them. Is the quality of the tools the...

Anyone recognize this cabinet? I'm going to go look at/buy it tomorrow and would like to have an idea of what I'm looking at. Any idea on age, original price, quality? I'd really like to know if those are the original wheels. Thanks!
