My question is does anybody have a source for tool handles cheap enough that it makes sense to replace them? Sent...

At that time they put a new thermostat in. Their thermostat was in the hallway right beside the closet that holds their furnace. The door for...

    Hose cutter

    What do you use? I'd like a dedicated cutter for rubber fuel lines, garden hoses and similar. I have made due with a large pair of dykes but would like to make cleaner cuts.

    SK Wayne Socket set Last week I was pretty excited to come across an Sk Wayne socket set similar to the ones grandpa used to have. This is the photo from the ad and the description. When I received the package this is what I got. I was immediately worried. Luckily the case is mostly...

    Bringing home vintage tools

    I was just curious what everybody's process was for getting old tools cleaned up and ready to work. I have several tools of my grandpa's with a few decades of grease and rust build up.

    Kennedy CS-16

Later in life he was notorious for buying the wholesale Chinese made junk tools from hf or similar stores. I cherish the older stuff...
