I saw this for sale and don't know anything about it. It's a 6 inch 1/3 hp grinder with aluminum housing. Looks like it's all there, tool rest, safety shields, etc. Tag says Snap-on, Kenosha Wi. Anybody know anything about it, who made it, are they any good ?

Picked this up today. Not sure what I've got, the only number I've found on it is 217 on top. I'm guessing from the size that it's probably 1 1/2 ton, needs rebuild but that's cool. I'll be calling Hi-ball probably. Soooo, anybody know anything about this jack ?

The shaft sticks out farther on one side than the other. I assume it's designed that way but why. There isn't any side to side play. Anyone else have a grinder like that ?

I was doing some welding Sun. and noticed my helmet was really dirty inside. It's an auto darkening helmet, not an expensive one however I've had it for 5 or 6 years. Anyway I thought simple enough to wash it out. Well it no longer works, I wouldn't think the water would hurt it but I guess it...

It isn't a buffing wheel but I don't know what it's used for. There isn't a name or anything on it, any one know...

I was given a 3/4 hp no name Taiwan bench grinder. It's got a bad push pull switch . I found a switch but it's 20 bucks, not sure I want to invest 20 in this thing . The switch has 4 poles but it's just an off on switch, I would think I could use about any switch. Anybody dealt with this ?

Anybody have one of those roll around ACs for the garage. They don't seem to be that much.

Saw one on C.L. today, looked like good quality in the picture. Anyone know anything about them ? The add said it was a 3 1/2 inch vise that opened 5 inchs. Guy wanted 45 bucks for it. What do you guys think ?

Did this work

New guy, might as well get my feet wet. After seeing some of the garages on here I'm kinda humble but my garage works for me. Actually I'd have all the room I need if precious didn't believe that she has the right to park her car in my garage, not gonna win that one.

Glad I discovered this site, probably going to be my favorite. I'm retired [65] but I do have a part time job, apparently part time actually means that there is a small part of the time when you aren't working. I move Peterbilts around for the local dealership. Owned my own truck for many years...
