I picked up an Eames/Atlas (both names visible) press, so pre-1919, a while back, and I need to make a few parts. It works fine as a single leverage ratcheting press now, but I would like to return it to its compound ability. I bought it from a 5th generation architectural company that works...

I've been looking for a good American arbor press, and sort of stumbled onto this one while looking at another tool. I already have a post on OWWM, but seeing's as how their are so many brand specific enthusiasts here, it can't hurt to ask over here too. It is an Atlas no. 2 with Eames cast on...

I found this on CL for $40 and picked it up for $30. It needed a new belt, and the feed block wasn't catching the riser plates properly. The feed block assists in feeding the blade down as well as lifting the blade on the forward stroke. I had a belt, and after turning the feed block over I have...

Well I'm still searching for a good, old American floor jack, so as is often the case I've found another with no identifying marks. I believe this unmarked jack is a Hein Werner, but I'm not sure. The owner doesn't know either, but he does believes it is a 2 1/2 ton. Do the pics confirm this...

This is on CL, and I'm looking for a decent 4 ton+ jack. I would like old, american made, but haven't had much luck. If I don't find one soon I'm going to have to settle for a horrible freight model until I come across better. The owner of this one has no idea what it's specs are or the...

The ad reads: condition: good 4 ton floor jack. Needs small gear. I haven't gotten hold of the seller yet, so I was wondering if anyone can identify this jack. I'll pm Hiball of course, but anyone else's input would be great too. If we can get it identified, are parts available, such as...

It's exactly what I want, but due to other concerns I will tell all of you about it. Hopefully someone can use them. https://houston.craigslist.org/tls/4553281693.html They look to be from different eras, but from what I've read it seems the asking price is good if they are in good shape. I...

I know it's not very old, but it does seem to be made in the U.S.A. I've found a few pictures of an older version of the same model, but nothing about manufacturing dates. I figure someone here might be able to tell me a little more based on the UL sticker and such. Thanks.

I'm going to check out these boxes in the morning. The seller has had them for a while, and I'm sure he could have given more info. However, he seemed to have a cold or something, and I couldn't understand everything he said. I figured if I'm going to look at them tomorrow anyway I may as well...

Can anyone identify this compressor from just this pic? I'm about to take a look at it, and this is the only picture I can get beforehand. The seller knows nothing about it so they're no help. Thanks

So I'm checking out craigslist and find an add that says: table vice grip - $15 solid metal vice grip, holes to screw into the table, is a bit rusted but a solid as any steel youll find. With only the following picture: To me it looks like possibly one of the smaller...

I bought an older Craftsman toolbox from an estate sale today, and one of the interesting tools in it was an unnamed ratchet. It has the patent number- 1,902,878 as well as I can tell, which was awarded to N.F. McNaught in 1933. From what little reading I've done it seems this might be an...

It was in a vintage Craftsman toolbox I bought at an estate sale recently, and I have no idea what it is. Thanks.

So I mowed the lawn and performed a few other tasks around the house. Now I have the chance to sit down and enjoy a few refreshments in the garage, by myself away from the wife and children. (I've already had a few so...) Anyway I was wondering if any of you protect those surfaces in your...

I picked this up for $10 at an estate sale today. I like the patina, but their is quite a bit of surface rust. So I've got to decide what I want to do with it. Their are some really nice looking non-original restorations. What is the GJ opinion? It is a Hobart Cabinet Company tanker desk...

I'm going to be checking this grinder out, and would like to know what you guys think pricewise. It's a model 500 5hp 3 phase pedestal grinder. I'm working on getting the serial number so I can figure out manufacture date, as I'm more interested in vintage equipment. Although for the right...

Does anyone know if this Dayton is pre or post the change to overseas manufacture? I know they are still good grinders, but being made in the USA would motivate me more. It is a 10" and really more grinder than I need. I actually went to see a 70's block motor grinder, and the seller also...

Hello, I am looking at purchasing this blackhawk, and could use some help with a positive ID. The tag says S 18, and has a 2 perhaps showing capacity. The only S18s I am aware of are the cool fendered one. The rest of the jack looks more like an S4, but after looking at many pictures on...
