Friend asked me to look at an outlet that recently failed. My trusty plug tester show open neutral. traced the line back to a metal junction box. Wasn't over filled, but the connector was pushed into the box with the tip touching the side. The guy was running an electric space heater on a 14g 25...

i've got an old Miller Thunderbolt(AC only) I want to sell, but while I was told it worked, I really have no idea if it does. I know nothing about welders either. I got the leads, sticks and a 220 receptacle to plug it into. Any easy way verify it works? Thanks.

Picked this up at the Goodwill store today. I actually got it to use. My 16 oz Stanley fiberglass one has served it's time. I really like the balance of this one. Besides a Youtube video of a guy polishing one up, I can't find a heck of a lot of info on it. I may polish this one up a little...

Had a 25% off coupon to burn today so I got this for about 72 bucks. https://www.harborfreight.com/12-ton-capacity-pickup-truck-crane-60732.html My plan is to attach it to my utility trailer for loading non-rolling stuff. Probably nothing more than 200 pounds. Anyone have one....or can...

Not looking for brand advice necessarily. Just got a Milwaukee cordless hammer( 1/2 drive). Due to limited funds... I need basic type and sizes I can expect to use for working on my 2 vehicles....if that's possible. :dunno: Jeep Cherokee and Mercury Villager. Villager is a re-branded Quest...

I really need a floor jack. I'm collecting disability and now on a fixed income. I'm hoping to do a lot of work on my 2 vehicles this spring/summer. Jeep Cherokee and Mercury Villager. I've got 20 dollars in points to use by the 25th and thinking about getting this jack. Would end up costing...

Picked this up today at the local Goodwill. It works(I burned myself) and has a nifty light to light up the work area. I think the case will clean up, mostly seems like some sort of grunge on it.

Been going thru some boxes of old tools I've accumulated and can across these pliers. Marking apparently is Moore Drop Forging Co?? If so date to around early 1910's to early 1930's. Claws are quite "chunky". In surprisingly un-abused condition. Anyone ever see any other tools from this Co.?

Been planning on buying the compact brushless drill/driver combo. Figured the Black Friday deals would be the best time. Right now HD is offering the combo along with a 2 pack of 4 amp batteries for 299. I need extra batteries due to the use my drill and driver get. Is it likely I'll see a...

Got these from the local pawn shop today for 2 dollars..:) No evidence of the Pexto logo, which if I read right was first used in 1914. I wouldn't think these date before that, but maybe someone here would know for sure. :dunno: Don't seem to have seen much use and they operate smoothly.

I need to find a flush, round floor outlet for a wood floor. I've been googling for awhile now. Apparently some that are called "flush" really aren't. They have a cover plate that sits on top of the floor. I need one that sits totally flush to the plane of the floor.. I've seen ones I think are...

Don't know if this is the place for this...but oh well. This came out of an old tool chest. Most of the other stuff dates 40'-50's No markings..I'm thinking maybe a school shop project? Assuming it's brass. Will clean it up when I get a chance.

Boss has a Milwaukee 18V fuel drill. The jaws of the chuck are screwed up and it has issues holding small bits. I need to replace it., The videos I've watched say it's a phillips head screw, reverse thread. This one looks like an allen head screw...it sure looks like one anyway .:dunno: I...

Can never have too many bags. 460 reviews with a 4.8 out of 5 rating. 8.99 and free shipping with "16Cave" code I grabbed 2...:D...

Picked this up at the local flea market today. Only had the one...but I'll probably only use it as a door stop anyhow. Thought it had the :cool: factor.. ECOA stands for Equipment Company of America. Haven't found much more info. Cast Iron...Weights about 10-15 lbs(?) Age - :dunno: Paid 5 dollars.

Another find from the tool cabinet. Don't think this was made for actual use as a jeweler/watch makers anvil...most likely just a promotional item.:dunno: The company was know locally as the "Anvil Bank" and was bought out in the 1930's. It appears to be made of brass. Thought it was pretty...

Newbie welder here and looking at buying this unit. Mainly for small simple repair jobs and some light fab work. The deal breaker would be if it wouldn't be up to the task of repairing/replacing the rocker panels on my Jeep Cherokee. My researching leads me to thinking- maybe. :confused...

Was ripping some material with my bosses cordless 18v fuel skill saw yesterday. Would start a cut and the built in light would come on...after about 5-10 sec of cutting, the light would go off. This can't be normal. Is the saw F'ed up or am I missing something?
