This motor came with the drill press I purchased a few months ago and when I took it apart for cleaning and bearing replacement, I did not fully label the wires going from stator to the terminals. I could use some help in figuring out how to connect the stator windings. Below are some photos and...

I've been looking for a vintage US-made drill press for a long time and my patience has finally paid off. I'm really thankful to everyone on this board who has patiently answered my questions about buying a used DP. I found this floor model Craftsman drill press on CL for $75, about 10 miles...

I found this bench drill press for sale on CL for $75. Do you think it's a good deal? How do I evaluate its condition? Thanks!

I live in an older apartment and I would like to replace a 2-prong receptacle in one of the outlets with a grounded 3-prong receptacle. The outlet box is grounded via armored BX cable (after connecting a multimeter between the outlet box and the hot cable I see 120V). The problem is that the...

I recently bought a 4 1/2" angle grinder to use with a wire cup brush or wire wheel to clean the old paint and rust from my Hein Werner jack. I've never used an angle grinder before and I had a few questions, mainly about safety. How closely must the wire cup brush RPM rating match the RPM of...

I recently traveled to Hong Kong and took some photos of car/motorcycle repair shops. The shops are generally very small, about the size of a 2-car tandem garage. The repairs are typically performed at the curb, or sidewalk for scooters/motorcycles. The technical level of mechanics whom I...

Finally I have something worthy of a "Garage Sale Haul" post :-). A few days ago I found a post on CL by a Hein-Werner dealer about 10 miles away from me. I've been looking for a decent floor jack for several months so I got in touch with the guy and made an appointment this Sunday to stop by...

Williams 1 5/16" open-ended wrench in good condition. $10 shipped to CONUS. I'll ship this wrench securely packed in a priority mail flat rate envelope.

I'm not sure if the stamp set is complete. Some of the stamps appear to be bigger than 3/32" because they don't fit in the holder. US-made. Surface rust on all. $5 + shipping

Selling as is. I don't have a compressor so I can't test the functionality. Asking $30 + shipping for both Ingersoll Rand 312 and National Air Sander. IR seems to be cleaner overall. The IR is made in Japan and the National Air Sander is made in USA. National Air Sander Ingersoll Rand 312

In my quest to find a decent used floor jack I stumbled upon this one: http://images.craigslist.org/3m43o73p05T55Q35R0b1hce79962c24971159.jpg The seller claims that it came from the estate of his neighbor, who was 83. He also mentioned that the jack is so heavy, he can barely lift it. Asking...

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/tls/2156895870.html It looks like an older model. Is it by any chance still US made? Thanks!

Sold. Appears to be in good shape, some paint wear on the body. Cutting wheel is sharp, I test cut a 1" pipe and it works fine. $8 + shipping.

SOLD. This impact wrench came with a toolbox that I bought on Craigslist, so I don't know much about its history. Neither do I have a compressor to test it. The only thing I've noticed is that the trigger doesn't return after being pressed. Selling as-is, $20 + shipping.

Sold. I have for sale the following Husky USA tools. Asking $16 shipped CONUS (it all fits into a small flat rate box). Drive handle is 10" long, in very good shape, all chrome intact, no damage on knurling, detent ball free. Drive plug movement is stiff, but I think this is by design. I.e. It's...

SOLD. I have for sale a Craftsman 1/4" drive SAE socket set with short and deep sockets, bit sockets, extensions, and RHFT ratchet. One slotted bit socket is missing. The tools are in very good usable condition, no rust. I cleaned the ratchet and the teeth were in very good shape, no slippage...

I have several more or less complete socket sets for sale. They are either Craftsman or Husky USA. All are in good usable condition, however finish on some is less than perfect. There are sockets with chrome partially missing and with light surface rust. The sockets don't appear to have been...

I found a Hazet Assistent on CL this morning, it's located around Anaheim in Southern California. Seems like it should clean up well, or it would be a good candidate for restoration. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/tls/2005786958.html
