Searched to see if there was a thread to Hub Caps ... many of which serve a practical purpose on autos/trucks.. but I know I have a few hanging around the garage .. as decorations, reminders of the past, estate sale finds, or remainders of cars long gone but once paid for by your's truly...

OK, I have used a box and pan brake, slip rolls, notcher, Diarco punch, Diarco bender, Hossenfeld bender, etc. during my school days and as a lab tech in college. I want to amass a shop of similar equipment but don't have a bunch of space. I troll Craigslist, eBay, auctions, etc. and have not...

Good evening all.. I found this tamper tool (without the handle and not painted of course) at an auction today. I remember the foundry, not while it was in operation but where it was in South Bend, since I was born and raised there. The foundry is gone now, and in its place is a park /...

Didn't see a Klein Tool thread dedicated to the KT addiction.. thought I would try to start one.......I know they're expensive, but pretty good quality and most are made in USA....

I was surprised to learn via a quick search that there isn't a general "What's it?" thread on here. Did I miss it or ? If that's true, then let the fun begin..... I found this at my dad's place.. not sure what it is... (not the ruler or the staple that I learned was on the bench / in the...

Here are mine... small collection..

My son came home from work with a wicked blood blister on his thumb.. Said the wheel weight hammer / plier they have at work (and I've seen when I searched this subject a moment ago) clipped him.. (Or technically, he clipped himself.. lol). It apparently was a very small weight 1/2 oz or...

Has anyone on here ever seen a Studebaker C-Clamp like this? I'm torn between it being part of the Studebaker vise company product line or something from Studebaker Brothers / Corp. of wagon/buggy/automobile fame...

I know that Utica Tool, Herbrand, and Bonney were all once a Kelsey Hayes companies, but I've not seen many standard combination wrenches like this one.. I have seen the Loc Rite and the Cam Loc versions with the KH Tool Div. brand on it, but not much else..

What's it tool from Klein..

I remember this crock being on my father's boss' office shelf (maybe mid 1960s). He worked for a commercial / industrial painting contractor. Eventually he ended up with it, and now I own it. Really cool..

At my father's estate sale this weekend, I purchased his long time paperhanging tool box... I remember this box way back when I was a kid as something special, and now I own it..

Here are some wood graining tools I purchased at my father's auction...

My step mother has finally agreed / arranged to have an auction of my deceased father's stuff.. a full basement and garage of tools of the trades, antique tools, Aladdin lamps, furniture, salvage, etc.. If you're in the South Bend area, feel free to check out the auction add by Hahn's for this...

I have a very vague memory of seeing these before but need help identifying these what's it. There are three of them and they were with a lot of railroad tools.. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5342980&posted=1#post5342980

I've replaced it a number of times with hickory.. Time to try Fiberglass.. Seymour (IN) Midwest, Link division.. Anyone have success or stories or experiences (good, bad) replacing wood with fiberglass w/ epoxy..??

I noticed that a thread was pulled from the GJ recently. It was one I had participated in as late as Saturday morning and did notice the banter had gotten a bit sketchy, it was about a person who had purchased a Snap On tool box and was asking options bout the defects (missed paint, missing...

Not sure if this is allowed.. but I wanted to put out a shout out to Hoosier Tool Supply in South Bend, IN. I've been to this place several times, but I'm always amazed every time I go in there.. Crowded a bit but I walked out with several Channel Lock pliers, 4 file handles, and a hammer bit...

I visited my vocational machine trades teacher (Thomas Berry) while in South Bend / Mishawaka this weekend. He gave my son and I these Composition Sticks.. We racked our brains on what they are called.. until it clicked. I learned Letter Press with Bob Allison at John F. Nuner School in...
