Attached are a couple items I'm not sure about: A stone (?) rod of some sort. It looks like it was broke at some point; the opposite side is painted white. Looks like it has "56" handwritten on it with chalk or something similar. Is this just a stone for sharpening certain tools? A spike, for...

Hello! I've decided to start hanging my wrenches up on my pegboard, and I'm going through my DBE wrenches. At first, I thought it would be straight forward, with adjacent 16ths next to one another, but I have multiple 25/32 & 3/4 wrenches. To fulfill my OCD, I want to have a spot for each size...

OK, c'mon GJTT, I know it'll be easy. I'm thinking some sort of cable crimping/cutting tool?

They're Grip-Ons, made in Spain, labeled RR-55. I found that Blue-Point rebrands Grip-Ons in green, but I can't find these particular pliers anywhere. Anyone know what these are for?

Do full size (8, 10, 12") diamond files exist? I'm looking for something to sharpen an axe or two. I've found the files listed below, which have a full size grip, but not a full size cutting section. Am I wrong to think I need more cutting area...

OK, so I picked this axe up today with knowledge of its wound. I thought, "That's a damn fine handle on that axe that it'll fit damn well on the cruiser axe head I already have." Well, fast forward to getting this thing home, and I got to thinking, "Well, besides that hideous weld, that's a nice...

http://www.woot.com/plus/kershaw-knives-4 I'm not sure how much of a deal each individual knife is, but when I was in the market for a Leek, I wanted the black stone-washed one. I couldn't justify how much more expensive it was compared to the others though. Woot currently has it for $34.99...

OK boys and girls, a recent addition to the family: Before: After: Now, I'm a big fan of my axes, so I would greatly appreciate this thing being identified. Sadly, all I have to go off of is this: I can clearly see an "& O", but that's all I can clearly see. I feel like I can see all kinds...

I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this thread, so please excuse my ignorance and bare with me. Since I'm not entirely sure what I'm shooting for, it's going to be short. What steels would be good for a knife blade, but also machinable in their annealed state with high speed...

Quick question! Does anyone know where do get a knife clip of this style, for this exact purpose (spring clip on an Opinel): http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/d0/e0/85/d0e085bfe707554d76cfcf28bd5dd59e.jpg Or, a place to obtain a piece of metal to make such a clip out of (as it doesn't...

Do these screw types have any special name? Is there a place I could find these in different diameters? http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61npQkZBNnL._SY355_.jpg If you can't tell from the picture, the best description I can give is: There's two halves to it: one half is a regular screw...

Hey guys and gals, I'm looking to do a little research on multi-tools, and I've got a few questions for the community of GarageJournal: What multi-tool do you have? What is your most used tool? If you answered, "pliers," please answer: What is your second most used tool? Also, Is there...

OK boys and girls, what am I missing here? I can't figure out how the staple assembly goes back together. I realize the spring is a little wonky, but I think I can make it work if I know how it works. <a href="http://s1324.photobucket.com/user/Youngguns1782/media/IMG_0321_zps3dbe03fe.jpg.html"...

So, my brother came home with this: <a href="http://s1324.photobucket.com/user/Youngguns1782/media/image1_zpsb9a309c8.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u611/Youngguns1782/image1_zpsb9a309c8.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image1_zpsb9a309c8.jpg"/></a> <a...

OK, so I recently stumbled upon on of these at a fleamarket: It's a 12 piece set of tools by SK-Wayne: 4 pc. - 3/8in drive 6 pt. std. sockets: 3/8 (missing), 7/16, 1/2, 9/16 (missing) 4 pc. - 3/8in drive 12 pt. std. sockets: 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16 (missing) 1 pc. - 3/8in drive spark plug...

I'll admit it right from the start, I lied to ya. The smaller box may be a tackle box, I'm not sure. Anyways, back on topic. Looking at the box, it appears to have shelves for a tray to sit in. I'm hoping I can get an ID on this box to help me find a tray for it. I really like the box, and I...

Hello everyone! I'm trying to put together a small leather working set to make sheaths for various sharp objects around the house. Right now, I'm looking for a good, revolving leather punch. I've got it down to two choices: 1. KNIPEX 90 70 220 Revolving Punch Pliers...

Hello all! In my travels, I happened across a pneumatic nailer. More specifically, a FasTak Professional Series Pneumatic Nailer Model W2107. The previous owner was unsure if it worked and gave it to me to take a look at it. Upon testing, the nailer just blew a bunch of air out of the back. Upon...

Hello, first time poster here! Anyways, I've decided to buy a pair of Knipex Mini-Bolt Cutters, but I don't know which to get: Straight or Angled, Recess or Not? Are there any recommendations out there of which to get? Any owners with regrets of roads not traveled? Any assistance is appreciated!
