    E-Z Outs...who has found gold?

    I've tried many different brands and styles and none have proven to be reliable to any real extent. I am very patient and will dose the stuck item with Kroil and let it soak for a few days, if it's safe to apply heat, I always do. I'm curious if there is a brand or style that you have used and...

    While I was doing a little detective for info on a QR 325 with a blank serial # plate, I searched the Quincy parts manual library looking for a ROC that matched the part # on the crankcase, with no luck. I noticed a big void in sequential ROC numbers, so I contacted Quincy. Here is their...

    It's just WRONG!

    We needed another 12" half round ALUMINUM (for aluminum, not made from aluminum) ******* file. The one my guys like is made by GROBET USA...also known as Grobet File Company Of America LLC. So I ordered another one from McMaster-Carr and when it arrived I assumed they sent a standard 12" *******...

    Simple Green Pro HD (Purple) ROCKS!

    Okay, I don't usually get excited over cleaners (well, never really) but I've been super impressed with this stuff. I've been using it for quite a few years at full strength on grease laden equipment and parts, but this last weekend was the topper. I was doing a valve job on a Champion R15B...

    Tool Fool...RIP

    No, no, I'm not dead...but my Tool Fool handle is. :yikes: I found out recently that another member has the handle ToolFool and being as he joined 4 months before I did, I thought it only right that I changed mine so as to curb any confusion. This time I searched member names before choosing...

    I did a search and only found one mention of these cargo container roof systems. www.podroofusa.com I thought they looked quick and simple and not overly priced. I was curious as to the assembly process, so I e-mailed and asked if the assembly instructions are avaliable for a download and was...

    Bad Curtis- Toledo E-5 Compressor Pumps On Ebay

    Hey Gang, There are a few different sellers selling these pumps on e-bay, new in the box. The seller I bought mine from was offering them at $170 plus $65 shipping, so I figured it was a name brand pump and I'll use it to make a small portable as I have a spare tank and motor. I received the...

    Engine or Motor... What do YOU call it?

    I know it shouldn't bother me, but why do people call an internal combustion engine a MOTOR? :dunno: I've never heard anyone call an electric motor an ENGINE! It seems to me that it's becoming more prevalent...

    Saylor-Beall...Original or Clone...Here is the answer...

    This question has been mentioned a few times on GJ. Many folks assume that if 'MADE IN USA' is not cast on the case, that's it's a clone. I have 2 older SB pumps, and neither have it, but do have the SB serial # tag. I sent an e-mail to Saylor-Beall asking the question and stating that I...

    Old framer trick to square two perpendicular lines.

    Ya, so I AM an old (retired) framer but I still remember neat little tricks. While reading another thread requesting help with figuring out a hypotenuse, it made me think of the old 3-4-5 (hypotenuse being 5) trick. Problem: You need to frame a wall square with another wall, you have no...

    New e-bay seller backing out of deal.
