I'm looking for a good used bench grinder. As the USA made ones are rare here in Holland I'm looking for a well build European bench grinder. It doesn't have to be a top notch heavy duty beast, but I would like one that's decent and will serve me well as a DIY'er. What are the brands to look out...

There will be a 1.5hp 24 liter air compressor on sale for 55 euros (around $69). It's oil lubricated which I prefer. My question is, is it big enough or do I need a 50 liter? It will be used for DIY work, like taking flywheels and lawn mower blades off. I will also use it to do some light...

I'm planning to buy my first flex head ratchet in 3/8 size and I want your opinion about which ratchet is the best. I already have 8 standard ratchets, so my next one will be a flex. As I live in Europe, I will most likely order from Amazon. I prefer USA made, but if it isn't it's not a total...

Does anyone have some information on an American Scale 216 vise? Is it a good vise, or is it just a cheap vise?

My most awsome tool deal ever :) This is what I picked up yesterday. It is a 45 piece set of Proto tools. Here in the Netherlands Proto is pretty hard to find and I have never seen a set for sale. The good thing about the tools is that most are only used once or twice and some are even brand...

Yesterday I picked up a new bench vise (my first big one). It is 5 inch Mello No.5. It doesn't say where it's made, but it looks at least 40+ years old, so I would guess it's not China. Any info on the Mello brand? I can't find anything on the internet. It has a covered lead screw and it looks...

Can anybody tell me something about these old tools??? How old are they and where were they made etc. I think the plier comes from an old tool kit, but I can't find a brand name on it... I picked both tools up for cheap. I didn't need them, but I thought they looked cool, so I bought them :)

Hello everybody, I have a 10mm Wiha Hornbach 'special edition' scewdriver and it's by far my best and most used screwdriver. The tip is absolutely phenomenal and I think it's even better than my SO instinct. I've been using it for about 3 years now. I really beated the **** out of it and the...

I noticed there's a little screw on every adjustable wrench I own, but I don't know what's it's meant to do. I this for adjusting the little wheel or so? I don't use those wrenches much, so I don't know lots about them... Thanks in the advance :beer:

Hello eveybody, Just a simple question, do the Felo 550 series also has the soft grip like the Felo Ergonics, or does it have a hard plastic handle? Thanks in the advance :beer:

How old is this Hazet wrench??? Can anyone tell me how old this Hazet wrench is and from what material it is made? It says "original Hazet No. 350 germany" and the backside says "special material - garantie". Thanks [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

I've heard that the newer USA made craftsman sockets are bad quallity. My question is, which of the newer USA sockets are bad, the dual marked ones or the 'detent style' ones? I would like to know which craftsman USA made sockets are still of good quallity and worth buying :)

I want to buy a ph4 screwdriver but I don't know which of the brands Wera/Wiha/Felo is the best to go with. For me it's important that the handle feels good and I can put some torque on it. Because many of the ph4 screws are very tight I can easily strip the tip of the screwdriver, so I want a...
