Hey guys. I'm trying to help out my dad. He and mom have a huge pecan tree that produced about 35 or 40 gallons last year and looks like it's going to beat that this year. He has a manual lever cracker, but he has it in his head that he wants to make a kinetic/inertial cracker. Neither one of...

Guys, I really want to pick up a pair of CL546 pliers, but I can't find a decent, made in America leather sheath. Do you all have any ideas?

Well, apparently I'm developing an old vise fascination. I have another thread going about my Wilton 645 restore, and today I found this thing while poking around. I'm going to offer about $10 based on the horrible condition. Can anyone help me identify the maker? It's a heavy little sucker...

Hey all. First time poster, long time lurker. I love this forum. Great place. I recently picked up an old Wilton 5" vise from a salvage guy. I gave $20 for it. Here's what I started with: I pulled the big pieces apart and soaked them with PB Blaster. I was able to get all the Little...
