My favorite new tool !

I found this in a bunch of old tools in Dad's garage. He was a Bell Telephone man and this appears to be a "Bell System tool". What is the history of these? Did they actually use them regularly? For what purposes?

I was digging through a box of old tools this morning and came across this Millers Falls brace. Are these things worth anything, or am I better off to just hang it on the wall as wall art?

My garage is about 4 feet from the house, but my W1Fi router is at the other end of the house. If I stand at the end of the garage nearest the house, my tablet works in the garage, At the back of the garage, no joy. Is there a range extender I can get for my Android tablet or for my WiFi router?

After the little spring in the rebuild kit went SPROING into the next county for the 3rd time, I decided to retire it. Needs a rebuild kit, but in great shape. Will also take interesting trade.

I am restoring a military Triumph motorcycle, a 1957 Triumph TRW. This triangular case is meant to be a tool kit. Mine is empty and I have no idea what goes in it. Would anyone be able to tell me? Many thanks.

I do a lot of small carburetors on weedwackers and mowers and think it is time I had an ultrasonic cleaner. Anyone got a suggestion on a small "inexpensive" unit?

I need the "socket" end for a set of Indestro brake pliers. Just to clarify......I don't need the whole tool, just the socket-like end which I have removed from this tool (it broke).

Hi all. I am tired of waiting for my compressor to catch up and finally turfed my beloved angle die grinder. What's the best/smallest electric/cordless unit?

My 4.5 inch angle grinder (Bosch) needs a cutting disc. I know these have a lot of variation in quality. Which is the best ?

OK, bought a set of nice 3/8 drive metric and SAE sockets for my new box, and the set came with a few surprises. One, is this set of square bit drivers. I've been a tinkerer and restoration guy for almost 60 years now and never saw a place I could use one of these. The second picture is 2 more...

I have a number of older tools (mostly Snap-On) with pealing chrome. Is there an easy fix for this, or just something to live with?

I'm looking for a nice 4-6" long screwdriver handle that accepts bits. Non-ratcheting is preferred.

I have this beautiful Indestro brake tool. On one handle extension is a socket-type addition with a small tab. This tab broke off. Does anyone know if the socket can be replaced, or know where I can get one?

This is a little 1/4 drive Craftsman ratchet I've had for years. It recently started ratcheting only one way. Would anyone know how it comes apart? There are no visible locks or clips. Also, where would one find a rebuild kit?

I need a small (3") vise that does not clamp to the edge of a table, but bolts down properly. Any suggestions???

Right now, I have a lot of hammers thrown into a drawer but the inner tool nerd within me shudders each time I open the drawer. Is there a simple rack for hammer storage. A nice home made wall mounted rack would be nice. What have you got?

I recently picked up this Generator very "reasonably". It's hardly seen any runtime. It has a Chinese copy of a Yanmar diesel that runs like a clock. Anyone know of this make and have any info on it?

Found this in an old drawer. It is 3.75" long. Very Cool.

Would anyone have a clue as to who manufactures Pro Point ratchets and extensions? They are great.
