I am thinking of looking at an old Clemco blast cabinet - model AC1818 or 2448 - I cannot tell, or another vintage ALC cabinet. They look to be very old. If cheap enough, would this be something worth working with? It looks like only the cabinets would be useful. I basically only need a small...

Looking for an old usable shim punch and die set. Basic is fine, I don't need a huge set. Thanks.

I bought a black Craftsman tool chest and also bought the drawer liner rolls to line it with, this stuff: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-drawer-liner-roll/p-00965502000P . I noticed after taking the shrink wrap off that the liner was a bit "wet" feeling but didn't think much of it other than to...

Decided to try to unload my misc. wrenches and ratchet, maybe someone on here can use them. First is a Matco CR15 ratchet. Works fine, I just don't use it that much $30 Two 7 pc. sets of Flex head GearWrench ratcheting wrenches. I hardly have used these, none are broken or anything like that...

Does anyone else have this problem with their 1/4" drive Craftsman ratchets? I bought my Craftsman tool set about 10 years ago, back when EZ Read sockets were hitting the shelves. I wanted the "normal" tool set. The 1/4" drive ratchet came pre-broken for me. It seems as though it is only this...

I have an old Equipto parts cabinet. It was my grandfather's. Anyway, during a move I let it sit outside for a day or two, covered (I thought) and unfortunately it started to rust. It was originally gray. Has anyone restored a metal parts cabinet? I was thinking of soda blasting it. Maybe I...

Has anyone on here tackled this kind of project? The shop next to where I work has two old rusty ones, and I don't think the guy there will sell them as he intends to do that someday with them. In case you are wondering, here is what I am talking about:

I just recently bought a new Craftsman 11 drawer 41" tool box. I'm trying to organize it. I bought their plastic socket trays, the black ones with the snap in pegs. There isn't enough room to put nearly all the sockets in my Craftsman 263 piece tool kit. What do you guys use normally for socket...

Does anyone have one of these or any information on them? I'm looking for a good used wide tool cabinet and I see these pop up ever so often on Craigslist. Thanks.

I'm looking at getting a couple torque wrenches. I have a few Harbor Freight clicker-type wrenches and have used them for easy to reach places or places I can double and triple check. I've been wanting to upgrade for a while though. I'm debating what type and brand to get. I don't really like...

I inherited an old Craftman rollaway with two Kennedy top boxes, the intermediate box is a 2-drawer and the top box is an 8-drawer type. I like this rollaway and wish I could add to it with a hang-on side box, but I'd rather organize it better. I'm not much into machinist tools other than a few...

I just went out and bought a Harbor Freight spot welder, the 240V version. I am trying to spot weld two 3/32 steel wires together. The welder is rated to weld up to 3/16 uncoated steel. Both wires were ground down slightly to a flat spot so that they would not move as much, and both were clamped...

Hello, I have an old but good working sliding gate that I would like to make motorized. I have found kits like Aleko on Amazon for a great price, I was wondering if this would be the best way to go for this gate or if I should make one up out of some angle iron and a garage door opener. The gate...
