My Dad's looking to make room in his shop and looking for a more portable planer to replace his 12" Belsaw planer he has. The 12" Belsaw he has is great, but his workshop is in a basement and it made a huge mess everytime he used it and he just doesn't really have the room. He would rather have...

I have gone through 3 Amazon and HF Micrometer's and looking for a decent one. They seem to always have no battery power left when I grab them or the buttons stop working. The $20 digital ones are always junk. I am not a machinist I just need something in metric and English that can measure...

I posted before about the old style blue handled screw drivers and was lucky enough to pick up a set of used Blue Handled screw drivers, a ratcheting screw driver, and a 3/8" ratchet. by being patient. Curious how much stuff snap-on has made with the old style blue handles. The dark blue, not...

I have resisted the snap-on bug so far, but had my eye on a snap-on 5 piece screw driver set with blue handles. They didn't seem like anything special to me. Same old style hard handles that you see in orange, red, black, ect.... all the time. Most of my bike tools, or the good ones are in...

What is the history of those Craftsman speeder ratchets than come and and go on ebay every once in a while? Didi anyone else ever make something like that? What did they go for new?
