I thought I'd pass along this little shop tip. I use these aluminum dirt bike stands in the shop as a step stool and a nice solid seat for working on projects. The tray underneath the top is perfect for holding tools or small parts. These are really solid stands and well made. You can pickup...

I have wanted one of these for a long time. I finally scored one off eBay for a price that I could live with. It's a titanium socket used for taking off single wheel nuts on Indy cars. These sockets run $1500 new, and the impact gun they fit on cost $4500. :scared: I'm like a kid at Christmas...

I bought a vintage toolbox with tools. There was a ton of useful everyday tools, but this is the best of the lot. 95% of it it Mac & Snap-On. What do you guys think this lot is worth?

What size bolts are used to attach the end cabinet to the 44" HF box? http://www.harborfreight.com/18-in-7-drawer-glossy-red-end-cabinet-for-roller-tool-chest-68785.html Thanks in advance!! :beer:

After digging thru screw/drill bits for 30 years I've finally decided to get organized. I've seen these little red bins on GJ for awhile now but I didn't know what they were called. I saw a Youtube video a couple weeks ago and found out they were Schaller bins. At least that's one company that...

I picked up this large castle nut at the swap meet a few days ago. It measures 3-1/2" ID, 5-1/2" OD, and is 5" high. I bought it from a guy who worked on turbine systems for GE. He had one with a 6" ID at home but wouldn't sell it. He said it took him 4 hours to get off of the turbine...

A new Kennedy toolbox. :rocker: I was looking for a toolbox to fit in a specific area of my desk. I looked at all of the options and I liked the Kennedy the best. It fits perfectly where I needed and the quality is outstanding. I added some medium thick felt on the bottom of the box so I could...

For some reason I love Powerbuilt ratchets. I bought my first one listed below for $1 and I use it all the time. I grab it before all my other ratchets for work around the house. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QO9DAE/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I just ordered this set...

I've been looking for a tool related pocket screwdriver holder for my desk for awhile now. What better then a 1" drive 2-9/16" Snap-On socket!! :thumbup:

I spotted this nice Reed 48" aluminum pipe wrench at a local pawn shop a few months back. They wanted $99 for it (which was more than I wanted to pay) so I passed on it. I was in today looking around and I talked to the owner and told him that the pipe wrench had been there for a few months and...

I just purchased an optima battery for my 2008 Nissan titan. It came with a plastic riser to raise the battery to the correct height. The problem is the riser is cheap plastic and I can't secure the battery unless I modify the existing riser. I would like to make a new riser and would like to...

I just finished up a great trade with ssdave. I would highly recommend dealing with him anytime. My item was shipped out super fast and it was well packed. Thanks Dave!! :beer:

I was watching a toolbox tour on Youtube and a guy had a extra deep chrome 10mm socket. I went looking for them and I'm not having much luck finding them. I found a guy on eBay from the UK who has them but I'd rather find something here in the states. Maybe they're called something else and...

I put a fairly deep dent in my 56" HF box when I first got it. I could have simply covered it with a sticker but I wanted something a little different. I found this Mack Truck emblem in rough shape on eBay. Most of the chrome was pitted pretty bad so I just sanded and cleaned it up the best I...

I need a pair of 90 degree bent long pliers. I have several brands in straight but there seems to be limited choices for long bent pliers. I really wanted the Klein's but they seem to be discontinued. I have these on my Amazon wish list: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WQGKI6/?tag=atomicindus08-20...

I'm looking for ideas on how to mark my tools, especially my specialty Snap-On wrenches. I don't want to engrave or paint the tools so what are some other options? Here are some options off the top of my head: 1) Engrave 2) Paint 3) Laser Etch 4) Zip Ties 5) Drill or Grind #3 would be cool...

What is up with all of the huge pictures lately? There should be some kind of limit to how large of a picture can be uploaded or software to edit them automatically. Viewing those huge pictures on a computer are bad enough, but try it on an iPad. :eyecrazy:

I found a smoking deal on a L872 3/4" ratchet head on ebay in very good condition for $72 shipped. The problem is it doesn't come with the handle. Snap-On wants $58 for the handle which isn't a bad price, but I would like something a little less expensive. Are there any other options out there...

I'm looking for a 9/16" stainless steel Craftsman combo wrench. I'm not too picky on condition as long as it's usable. Cash or trade. I'd be willing to over trade a bit but please give me an idea of what you're looking for. :thumbup: John

There have a few threads lately about rivets and riveting tools, etc... I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to everything related to rivets, tools, etc... Please post any videos, information, techniques, websites, etc... Here is a video that I posted in another thread:
