I have a Bosch Sander that did not come with a case, and because I consider this sander an "Investment" I want to make sure it is well taken care of. I have the Bosch 1250 DEVS sander and I wanted to know if it would fit inside a L-BOXX-2. The height of the sander is slightly less than 6" and...

I have an old toolbox that is right on the verge of being a little too rusty, but I really like the state it is in right now, a great amount of patina but not Roached! Can anyone suggest a product I could put on it to keep it in that state. I was thinking of a flat clear but I was unsure as to...

So I have an old Makita belt sander with a Bag and it's a beast.... Heavy not easy to handle but it certainly does the job!! I am a Home woodworker and I am starting to work with woods like Mesquite and such so I am considering investing in a new "Belt Sander", I have a couple of smaller Bosch...

So I came across this older Battery charger and wanted to know if anyone was familiar with it or could tell me a little more about it. From what I can read off of the painted badge, it's 115 Volts 250 Watts and has a switch for 6 volts to 12 volts. There is also a High and Low switch that I do...

Came across this old toolbox and I am having trouble Getting an idea of who makes it or how old it might be. Unfortunately all I have is this photo to go on. Any help is appreciated.

I am looking to get good 3/8 ratchet, I admit, right now I have a raised panel older Craftsman ratchet and I used a friends F80 while at his place and noticed the obvious difference. So I looked at some of them available on Ebay and cannot muster up the money to pay $50-$60 shipped on the used...

Recently found this old Craftsman 10 drawer toolbox with the intention to restore it. Obviously they did not come in black, so with a lot of help and tips from ZKLING here on the site I was slowly but surely removing the top coat of black. After a couple of drawers, I found areas that gave me a...

Was looking around Chad's Toolbox website and found some NWS pliers #109-49-180, the picture shows that they are made in Germany, because it is printed on the actual tool....twice! but in the description is states "American Model" what exactly does this mean? Is it a lesser quality than the...

Can anyone help me with an image of an older Sears Craftsman logo, I am having trouble getting a good pic of it for a restoration project. It's the logo that is white and red.. I think and it says SEARS on the left in a white box and the word CRAFTSMAN on the right in a red box. I'm trying to...

I am looking to repaint the floor in my garage. I am a collector and do some "Tinkering" so I do not need any kind of high traffic professional finish. I would just rather prefer something that is better than the old concrete floor that I have. Obviously I have seen multiple different " Floor...

I know this is not for my garage, but I was hoping that somone here might be able to answer this...My outside A/C is sometimes not kicking on. I have a warranty company that keeps sending the same guys out and they have been out 5 times. This is what they are telling me. The compressor and fan...

OK, so I purchased an old car battery charger and oddly enough, there is no on-off switch, just a plug a metal box and a another wire with the positive and negative spring clips. When I plug it in, I hear nothing, I was expecting a "Hum" or something. What would be the best way to test this...

I have noticed that these Craftsman Stainless Steel Ratchets go for a significant amount more than your standard CM ratchet. Is this just due to it just being stainless or did Craftsman make this ratchet any better in other ways? Thanks, James M

So my original thought to get a sandblaster setup to take old toolboxes down to bare metal was dashed due to lack of funds to buy the necessary equipment. So I am now looking at stripping down to metal. I was told Rustoleum Automotive Aircraft Remover can be used to remove paint from metal. But...

I am looking to start retoring old toolboxes and such. I also work on old wood working machinery restores like drill presses cast iron table tops and such. Currently it's WD-40 and a sander for the light rust and such. I am thinking of getting a small Sandblasting setup as this seems like it...

I am sure this has been asked before, after some research on epoxy floors, tile options and such, I have come to the conclusion that I am too poor to get a good quality job done, so I am willing to just clear out the garage one side at a time(2 car garage) and clean it as best as possible, there...

I have seen mentioned somewhere(Maybe in passing on here) the ability to take old platic screwdriver handles that are in good shape and turning them into handles for other tools, does this make sense? i hope I explained it right. I had trouble explaining it properly because I could not find any...

I tried a thread search for SK Screwdrivers and because SK was too short it omitted it and gave me results for "screwdrivers", which needless to say would take a lifetime to sort out, therefore I am posting this, i apologize if it's been asked before. Any opinions on SK screwdrivers. i am...

Here is my question, obviously I know the obvious choices when it comes to quality tools, snap-on,Mac, Cornwell ect.. but what about older tools. It's my understanding that some of the older tools are made from a better quality metal. I know the cast iron top off of my 50's era table saw is...

Need some expertise to identify these sockets. got them the other day at a sale and I cleaned them up, but I cannot ID them! i would like to complete the set but I can't tell what brand they are, I have never seen these. The logo has a circle with SW insode of it and a couple other markings...
