    What is this vise worth?

    Should be called "Snap-ON Journal" instead of "Garage Journal"

    Why is it, that whenever anyone post a question on here about which tool they should buy, and then list a budget or requirements, the first thing everyone replies with is "Buy Snap-On". Now don't get me wrong, Snap-On does make some fantastic tools and from personal experience they have a...

    Hey guys. I am looking at buying a scroll saw, and was wondering what brand everyone preferred (SnapOn is not the best either). I was curious what everyone looked for in a saw setup, like motor size, speed, throat size. What options were important. Things they wish they could get in a saw...

    Estate Sale buy.

    The Mac sockets are the extra deep 12pt 3/8 drive and the Craftsman sockets are late 70's 1/2 drive.

    Electric impact

    Hey guys, I have a few questions about the electric impacts. I am more concerned with the plug in type. First when compared to a air impact how does the 1/2" electric do vs 1/2" air? Second of everyone that has used them in the past and does not any more why did you decide to swap? Third...

    my old welding cart

    Hey guys, here are some pictures of my old welding cart. I used 1 1/4 bar grating for the table top and bottom of the cart. The top plate is about 5/16, so thick. By welding the top plate to the bar grating it acts like a much thicker plate with out the expense of buying a thick plate of...
