Just picked up a bullet style wilton vice. The first number I can read under the paint is the 101215. Is there anyplace I can look that number up to find out more about it? Oh and I got is as part of a package deal so will probably end up with it for basicly free :) Picture coming soon.

Any one have an idea of where this is from originaly. Railroad maybe there is a large railroad yard in my town.

Hi guys I have an older Crouse-Hinds explosion proof drop light I picked up. I want to rewire it (the wires were cut when I got it) so I can use it hanging in the house. I like the way they look. Any way I think it should be pretty strait forward but wanted to ask first. I think I can just get...

This is a very heavy duty vintage industrial stool / table. I also have the parts for a second one. I will take $200 for this one or can do some trading. If you want a unique stool that will last a life time this is it.

Hey guys I ended up with a Snap On TQFR 250c that seems to be broken. When testing it it has resistance like it should but after moving it wa ways there is a pop sound. And the indicator never changes. So I am assuming it needs repaired. Is this something I can do and then send it in to be...

Hey guys I found these snapon boxes for what I think is a decent price. But I was wondering what they are worth on the used market right now. Thanks in advance for the help. :)

Well I ran across a heavy duty Rockwell drilling machine at the local scrap yart. It is inside covered with cobwebs. I was thinking about asking them how much they want for it. But I wonder how big a project it would be to redo. Also I would need to get a 3 phase converter or something since I...

Does any one ever get any good deals at swap meets? I have not been to one for years.

Well for the last year or so I have been looking for some older Snapon, Mac, Matco boxes to fix up. And in the last week I have gotten 4 to redo. Two Matcos, A Mac and a Snapon. This should keep me busy redoing them for a few days. Might take pictures as I do the job. But its going to be a...

Just curios are there any organizations that test and compare hand tools? I notice I always see on here just personal opinion and anecdotal evidence. If any one knows of any scientific tests done on things like wrenches and ratchets etc I would love to look at them. Always interested in that...

Does any know what years KRA tool boxes were made? Also are they any good I am looking at an older top box. It looks like this one but the handle is more boxy and the snapon logo thing is a box with the name inside it. I am thinkings 70s or 80s maybe?

If any one lives close to Wichita Falls Texas there is a vintage Snapon bottom box for $60 and he said he would take $50. http://wichitafalls.craigslist.org/tls/3381658126.html I would go get it but it is 3 hours from me (I live south of fort worth.)

Does any one know what brand this tool box is and about what year it was made?

Hi I have a Delta/Rockwell 14" bandsaw I am redoing. It is the 28-300 model to be exact. I got it missing the covers. It is missing the upper and lower cover. And also the box that goes over the gear box pully and the cover on the stand. Any way I am looking mainly for the upper and lower covers...

Well I stopped by the local pawn shop today and they have a nice vintage SK Wayne box for $50. It is exactly like this one but has the top tray with it. About the same condition also...

Hi I found an old Rockwell model 28-300 bandsaw. The switch is gone off of it and I need some help wiring it. The cable coming out of them motor has Red, Green, White and Black. The cord I have for it has Black, White and Green. Do the 4 wires mean it is 220v? And can I wire it for 110 if it is?

I got an older Mac 1/4 driver impact ratchet today that works but seems weak. If I track down a Mac truck will the rebuild it for me?

I got a 1/2 drive long handle proto ratchet today at the scrap yard. The crome was very good on it but it was rusted enough in the head to be stuck. Any way it was cheap and I got it all cleaned up and working. But I noticed while cleaning it the body is magnetic. It sucked a nail onto the...
