    1950s Shure Auto shop cabinets

    For sale in Minnesota. Pair of Shure cabinets. Selling together for $600. Each cabinet is 5’ tall, 26” wide and 12” deep. Each comes with two shelves. These are not mine. A good friend of mine recently found these and brought them to my attention. He knows I’m passionate about this stuff and...

    1940’s Lincoln Mechanic’s Workbench

    Lincoln service merchandiser work bench. Bench only. Sat outside for a number of years but still fairly solid. I used to see Lincoln workstations missing the original bench pretty frequently so I kept it assuming one might eventually fall into my lap. No such luck for me but maybe for you? I...

    Promotional Snap-on Wrench Display

    I have a friend that finds stuff. He’s always going to garage sales, estate sales, swap meets and getting inside access to storage spots and warehouses that are being cleaned out. Fortunately we don’t have over-lapping interests in the kind of things we’re in to so he passes a lot of unique...

    Maximum LED wattage bulbs in basic ceiling fixtures

    I need some advice. The lighting in my garage could use some help. I currently have four of these very basic light fixtures with 9.5 watt LED bulbs. (If I’m not mistaken that translates to approximately 60 watts incandescent bulb.) I’m planning to continue to use this style LED bulbs but I’d...

    Looking to find the missing emblem for my MAC MB7200. I believe it would be identical to the one on the top chest. Thanks.

    What is this vintage Snap-on roll cabinet?

    I came across this box tonight on Facebook Marketplace. Initially it looked very familiar to me. I contacted the seller and made plans to go see it in the morning. This evening I attempted to look it up on the collectingsnapon website and couldn’t find it anywhere. There are three drawer...

    1950’s Black & Decker Valve Shop Rolling Tool Cabinet

    . I knew I was in trouble when I opened the Facebook Marketplace website. Prominently featured right at the top of all of the listings was this mysterious, “Tool Chest” that had just been posted about an hour earlier. I could feel my “old tool Spider-sense” starting to tingle. I had a...

    WTB 1945-47 Alemite Workstation top/ center section

    WANTED. I know this is a long shot but I have to try. I’m working on piecing together an old Alemite mechanic’s workbench or “service merchandiser”. I still need to find the top and middle sections (circled in red in the photo). Any leads greatly appreciated. I know some people with these...

    A Tale of Two Workbenches

    A Tale of Two 1940s Automotive Workbenches It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. A long winded story about how I dragged home even more old junk. Part one. It all started with an antique Arts and Crafts rocking chair. I’d been on the hunt for one since my daughter was born...

    1930’s Snap-On Roller Tool Bench

    I came upon this listing a week ago while I was doing my nightly “rounds” of the local Craigslist ‘Tools’ section. It immediately caught my eye but I initially didn’t think much of it. It was old, which I liked, but it wasn’t much to look at. It lacked the design elegance of a K-60. It lacked...

    Mystery Puller Set or ???

    I recently bought a 1940’s Snap-on chest from a fellow on Craigslist. He had purchased it a garage sale, and didn’t know any history of it or its contents. All he knew was that it was a wife cleaning out her late or ex-husband’s “old junk.” Among the usual things typically found in an old tool...

    1940’s Borroughs Manufacturing Mechanic’s Workstation.

    If there’s something of an almost spiritual quality to an old service station then the workbench is the altar in that church. It’s been almost two weeks since this was delivered to my house and I am still in the “honeymoon phase” with it. It’s arrival ended a multi-year search bordering on...

    Three Snap-On K260 combos on Ebay right now

    What are the chances of that? I came across one on accident in an unrelated search. Then I got curious and saw the other two listed. I know some collectors spend years looking for this combo and they don’t come up everyday. I can’t remember the last time I saw more than one for sale at a time...

    Fluorescent light to LED conversion ballast question

    Had a ceiling light in our basement go out recently. The light bulb in it was a 13 watt small fluorescent bulb. My first thought was to get a new bulb for it. So I went to Home Depot and bought a direct replacement. I got home put the new bulb in but it still didn’t work. I assumed I was in for...

    Snap-On 1966 KRA300B Dumpster Save

    I had been kind of in the market for a “new” tool box lately to use as a roll around box in the garage and driveway. I was bumming around online and found an ad on Facebook Marketplace that simply read something like, “Toolbox really old and heavy-duty. $25” I was pretty sure it was a KRA 300...
