Anyone recognize this tool? Found during my FIL’s house clean out.

I’ve had this on the back burner for almost 20 years. This was my dad’s and I used (and probably abused) it in our basement back in the 70s. It’s been sitting dust covered and kinda of rusty since I cleaned out my mom’s house. I thought about doing a full Monty resto but I’m not sure I’ll...

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but I am looking for some help with a small project. I’d like to get reusable masking templates printed that will allow me to repaint the red color on these engine callout emblems. I plan on painting the entire emblem black and then air brushing the...

Hello - I’ve looked through other posts on HW OS/WS rebuilds and couldn’t find an answer. Maybe someone can help me understand what’s happening with my O-boy. The jack lifts and holds with no issues. However, when I open the release valve (clockwise) and and the jack lowers completely I have...

I have picked up a few HW 1.25 ton service jacks over the years. Hoping someone can help me figure out a date of manufacture range for these two types. The dark blue one has a more narrow lift arm and no “1 1/4 Ton” casting. I assume that’s an older model? Also, any guesses of what brand the...

Sorting through my FIL’s tools. What are these for? thanks

I am looking at a used one of these on C/L. I have a fully insulated 30x40 shop with 15’ ceiling. I am looking for something that would bring the shop temp up to 60ish degrees when I’m out there (normal temp in the low 40s during winter). I’m not out there full time, 2-3 days a week, 4-6...

Please help me out with a electrical question. I am looking at a used electric heater for the shop. It requires 15kW, 208v, 3PH, 41.5 amps and has a 4-wire circuit plug. Please keep in mind that I am an electricity rock. How much work is required/how much should I expect to pay to convert...

Scavenged some H-W parts today, including a couple new old stock parts. About 6-8 WS models there in pretty tough shape. He also has a couple of 2-4 ton H-Ws that we’re complete and not too bad. Probably could be had for $20 each.... He said he will probably scrap everything in about 30...

Looking for a rear caster wheel assembly for an older HW 1.25 ton “O-Boy”. Could be the same used on the 1.5 ton version. Thanks!

Looking for some help from someone who has an HVAC background. I picked up this dehumidifier for next to nothing and wanted to see if I can get it working again. It's an EBAC CD60 (see link) that’s about 3-5 years old and retails for about $1500. I know someone who owns a large commercial...

Not mine. Looks nice for $60. Near Bel Air, MD https://baltimore.craigslist.org/pts/5942562432.html

I am looking into reproducing the safety label stickers that were on Hein Werner floor jacks. I am looking for photos of original stickers from the 50s-70s vintage to see what was used. I have two. The green one is from a 1.25 ton HW sold through Mopar Parts dealers, probably from the 60s...

I am restoring a Hein Werner 1.25 ton service jack that was sold through Mopar back in the day and I have a couple of questions for the jack Buddhas here. I have looked through a lot of the old posts without any luck. 1) Is there a particular name for this type of retainer? Has anyone found a...

Hopefully not too dumb a question, but what type of tool do I need to remove these? There seem to many types of snap-ring pliers. Are these even called "snap rings"? Thanks!

Looking to buy a paint gun for small jobs. Can someone recommend a good one? Decent quality. US made if possible. Suitable for someone new who is new to paint work. I plan to use it for simple component painting (leaf springs, suspension components, etc.) Have a compressor/moisture trap, etc...

I already have a nice cabinet set-up and 60-gal compressor, moisture trap, etc.. Looking to get a inexpensive blasting set up for odd jobs that are too big for the cabinet. For example, I am redoing my rear seat frames and they have some light rust. Also have some sway bars that won't fit in...

I need a couple of metal brackets like the one in the picture. I need something about 2" high, 1" wide that sticks out about 1/2". I have tried all kinds of bracket searches on google with no luck. The pic I did find is from place in the UK. I struck out at Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, etc. I...
