Estwing Bought this "Estwing" 16oz hammer but looks fake???

I know there have been threads about these wrenches here but didn't get the answer i was looking for. I saw a set of the Craftsman industrial ratcheting wrenches USA made on ebay at a decent price but i have heard good and bad on these wrenches. Anyone have any experience with these?

Saw this on CL and was told to make an offer. Can I get some opinions on what is a decent offer? Its a 3/8 set and made in USA. Thanks.

Hi Everyone I bought a bunch of USA Craftsman wrenches, USA Craftsman sockets and a 12inch Diamond snips on Craigslist today for $10, and the guy had these in the bag too but I have no clue what they are. Any help?

I just paid $10 with shipping for this snips. I don't know much about it, i just bought it because I am from Duluth. Did I over pay? Can anyone tell me about it?

Hi Everyone I don't post on here very often (because half the time I don't know what I'm talking about) but i am on this site several times a day. I have four kids and had to quit my job in August to stay home with our newborn daughter. Price of daycare is outrageous! Anyway, that is when i...

I want to mount a power strip outlet on my workbench, do i need surge protection or a certain amount of jouls? Basically, just be using it for some lights and power tools.

Quick question. I would like to buy a 1/2 hp motor for a wire wheel and the highest rpms i can find in my price range is 1725. I basically am just going to use it to remove paint off some old gas cans i have. Is that enough?

So i am painting some old garage cabinets with primer and rustoleum oil based flat black paint. I know better than this but i applied a second coat about 4-5hrs after i painted the first coat. Can says it needs 24 hrs to dry. Did i just screw this up or will the paint eventually dry without...

Good deal for $35?

So I'm a fairly new homeowner and a fairly new DIYer also. I've been stocking up on a few tools here and there. Not too much invested in them yet but its a lot of made in China stuff. So i am in the process of switching over my tools to Made in the U.S.A. Now, i was buying all my tools...

Anyone recommend a decent router for use for my home projects.

I've read a few stories from you guys, and seen pics, of some awesome finds on Craigslist. Just curious if anyone has had any luck at an antique store for anything garage/tool worthy.

Hi Everyone I actually joined in September but only recently started posting comments. I actually am not a real handy guy but i try real hard to be. Sometimes i win, sometimes lose, but always willing to attempt any project. I'm married with four kids, so my time in the garage, and money for...

I built a workbench that spans just over 8ft using 2x4s as the bench top. For support underneath the benchtop, on each end, i screwed in 2x4s horizontally, and in the middle i laid two more 2x4s horizontally. Between the two ends and the middle i laid in 2x4s flat. The boards i laid in flat...

The picture attached that is sideways is of the Wissota grinder I'm buying tomorrow for $20 that i found on CL. The other pic is one i found online. Anyway, I'm familiar with the Wissota name but i don't know the specifics on this particular grinder. HP, RPMs, amps etc. Anyone have any info?

I saw this bench grinder on ebay and was curious on everyone's opinion if it is a good buy or not. It is an older craftsman model. 6 inch with 1/4 horsepower and 3450 rpm and 4.5 amp, i think. would be using the grinder for very basic jobs but i have come to the understanding that an older...

Hi I found a Wissota bench grinder on CL this morning for $20. It doesn't have a tool rest or any eye guards and when i contacted the seller through email he said it was a "cheap" bench grinder and gave me no further information on it. I was always under the impression that Wissota was a good...

Hi Everyone This is my first post but i have read, and taken, a lot of advise from this forum lately. I am a fairly new homeowner and i like to tinker in my garage. Very basic skills but trying to improve. Anyway, my question for everyone is this....Is there a screw size that you guys seem...
