Perhaps this has been posted before, but I've not been able to find it. I've got a number of SO F936 3/8" Drive Ratchets and was wondering if they can be converted to Dual 80 with just a replacement Dual 80 kit dropped in? Certainly, it can't be that easy, can it?

I need some schooling on this after reading threads here and shopping around. I feel like I'm out of my element, so looking for advice. I would like to try my hand at setting a differential or two, adjusting wheel bearings (vintage Land Rover specs recommend a dial indicator) and taking a few...

If you're in need, this ought to be worth a look: https://tucson.craigslist.org/tls/d/tucson-drill-press/6808547640.html Post up with a report if you get it!

A friend gave me a gallon can 2/3 full of Kroil that I've been trying to find a suitable container for ever since he gifted me the can a few years ago. First, I tried dispensing it in a brass Eagle oil can. The Kroil seems to react with the metal after sitting for several months. I'm still...

There are many of the discontinued Snap On magnetic drivers (SSDM40) in the wild that are relegated to the bottom of the toolbox because they're missing the NLA end cap. I like the black hard handles, but need the cap so I don't loose the bits. Step one: determine the thread size needed for...

So, I bought this woodworking vise without testing it and assumed it worked. Next, I took the rear plate (drag bar) off as it wasn't held captive with a washer and cotter key in an effort to clean and grease the acme main screw and guide rods. Upon re-installing the rear plate, I wound the...

Found this wrench! Thanks for looking. I'm sorry, I don't see how to edit the heading to this thread.

Most drill presses have the standard smaller table with center hole and X slots to allow a drill press vise to be moved around and secured on the table. I notice the large production tables are typically solid - with no means for securing a vise, but having a gutter system around the perimeter...

In typical Garage Journal style, I have found a drill press much larger than my needs, but what can I say - it appeals to me for the "cool factor"!:pimpflash It's a variable speed (with crank) and has a Howell 3/4 hp 3 phase motor. I would use it in my garage where I have 220V, single phase...

That is the question!:lol_hitti After looking at used body hammers and dollies, I figured I can purchase new with free shipping from Summit Racing for essentially the same or less than buying used off of eBay. I've seen a number of posts where guys polish the face of their body hammers. What...

I thought I stole a nine drawer Craftsman rolling toolbox when I bought it for $70. The previous owner had applied masking tape to the drawer faces to label the contents of the drawers. The markings are long gone, but the old dried masking tape is amazingly tenacious! After 20 minutes of...

I have a need for a low profile floor jack and noticed HF has a coupon for $79.99. http://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-low-profile-steel-heavy-duty-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-61282.html Can anyone here recommend this or steer me to a better jack? Calling Sir Hiball. Your opinion would be most...

Guys, I've got two sets of S-K 3/8 drive, 6 point metric sockets. One set is missing one socket and the other is missing three sockets. I've found S-K sockets of various vintages had different lengths (std. depth; not deep). Can you offer any tips of who I might check with to find correct...

First, I apologize for the lack of pictures. I can't seem to get into my photobucket account. This vise was sitting on the back of a utility truck and became rusted solid. Someone tried to open the vise shearing the three horseshoe washer screws (which are now also well rusted and will need...

Rookie here, looking to restore a couple Wilton vises in Phoenix, AZ. I've been having trouble finding Rustoleum Verde Green Hammered finish paint. So far, I've checked HD, Lowes and several Ace Hardware stores and can't find it in single cans. HD and Lowes require that you buy a case of six...

Found! Wanted to convert fixed bullet style vises to swivel style. Vise base circle is 6 5/8" diameter. Prefer complete swivel assembly, but will consider parts as well. Please pm me a picture and price. Thank you! ---------------------------------- I was able to find this part - thanks...
