    I need help identifying this drill press. No names, numbers can be found on it. It came from my grandfather that has passed many years ago. He was an industrial arts teacher that was into watch making, steam driven model trains, and making/repairing violins. It is very hard to date any of his...

    Hard handles melting into trays

    I purchased a red hard handle screwdriver set from Snap-On last year. The set was the SDD70AR and found that the handles were black/gray where they were touching the tray. I put pieces of paper towel between the handles and tray. Didn't really give it much more thought. Today the cabinet...

    I just recently purchased a new krl1023. The drawers are extremely hard to initially open. The top drawer (with 2 slides per side) takes two hands pulling on drawer lip and placing thumbs above drawers and prying open. Once broke loose the drawers move freely. All drawers are similar in action...

    I just purchased my first Plumb tools. Found them on Craigslist and had to have them. The set is missing the 1/2" (had a Craftsman in its place). The set appears to be unused or has very little use. The ratchet, breaker bar, and all the sockets except for one have clear laquer on them. It comes...

    Safety red and stainless steel

    I finally got some spare time, and cleaned up the garage. This vise was looking very bad, no paint and very rusty. Ran the scotch brite over it and it cleaned up quickly. Ran to Lowes and picked up some Rustoleum paint. The safety red looks looks good, but the silver(stainless steel) looks odd...

    Torx Tamper Resistant Plus

    The new fuel systems that we are working on are from Niki (Japan). They have screws that appear to be 5 point torx without the pin. I purchased the $300 Snap-On set of torx tamper resistant plus. The T20 strips out the screws and is very sloppy in them. The T25 is too tight and has to be...

    Mac Anniversary Toolbox

    I have had this box since it was new and I'm out growing it. I would like to find another box to match it, or make one. None of the gold plated pieces are available, and I haven't had any luck finding an original. Any ideas? Thanks

    A new what is it!

    I was working at a Buick dealership in the early 1980's. These were in the trunk of a new car off of the transporter. They appear to be a Kent Moore tool. They are not listed in any Kent Moore catalog. I can not figure out what they would be used for. Appear to be sidecuts with an attachment...
