    HH140 Design Change?

    Looking around CL for a nice pre-owned Hobart Handler 140 or similar and noticed not all the Hobarts look the same. I'm guessing this design is older: Is there any difference in performance or build quality between the older design and the current one? The better priced, more local one is...

    Bought an old scroll saw, need info.

    I've been wanting to get into woodworking for a while now and have been browsing Craigslist on and off looking for various pieces of equipment. Long story short I decided that my first purchase was to be a scroll saw. Found this beauty a few hours away and fell in love. She needs a little love...

    Craftsman Toolbox ID?

    This just popped up on my local CL: craftsman tool box It seems like a decent deal at $50 if it's well built. Did Waterloo ever make Craftsman's 26" boxes? I'm not sure if I'd really have a use for it though, would it be worth cleaning up and trying to flip for a profit?

    Garage Erection Guesstimate?

    Before I start: I know that there are a ton of variables involved here and I'm only looking for a price range, even a really broad one, and general info. My girlfriend and I are planning on moving around this time next year, likely to the Madison, WI area. We likely won't have a ton of money to...

    Looking for a torque wrench? Why not try Aldi's?

    Saw this while looking through the local ads. I've seen screwdriver sets there before but it looks like they're now carrying jacks, torque wrenches, creepers, and work lights. Aldi Ad 5/27

    Which Line Wrench(es) To Choose?

    Tried to replace my brake hoses on Saturday using a GM Goodwrench/PowerTorque line wrench. Ended up getting one done and rounding off the fitting on the second one. Decided not to even try the front two until I get a better fitting wrench. What brand(s) do you guys that deal with this stuff...

    To Clean or Not To Clean?

    I know cleaning and rust removal has been covered hundreds of times before but I think this warrants a new thread. I've recently been wanting to reorganize my box and workbench area so I've pulled a bunch of my old tools out in the hopes of selling them and getting a few good, new socket and...

    Ratchet Tech: Ratcheting Open End Wrenches?

    Stumbled on this site while looking for a ratchet strength test. Anyone on here ever used these? They look... interesting. Seem almost too bulky to be useful though. http://www.ratchetech.com/

    Got a new trash can!

    Sold a DeWalt Drill/Driver that I'd had for 2+ years and worked this into the deal. It has a fairly large bend in it but it's going to hold trash so who cares?

    What would be a good price? Snap-On Cart.

    Just emailed the guy as the listing has no details. I can't seem to find the same cart anywhere online. Assuming it's full of worthless ****, as it looks to be, what would be a good price for it? http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/bar/4808608977.html

    Changed my valve cover gasket...

    ... and somehow managed to break both my 3/8 Craftsman ratchet and Craftsman torque wrench. I wasn't even using them hard, obviously. Ratchet descided it didn't want to tighten bolts anymore as it would rather spin freely in both directions. The torque wrench was fine at 80 inch pounds, but I'm...
