Anybody want a free box? It’s in good shape, EXCEPT… the handle has gone missing. I didn’t clean it up at all or try to polish. If I did, I’d probably keep it and I’m trying to be rid of stuff. Figured it was better to list this guy here than on marketplace since I think it will be...

It's time for me to get a lift. I'm undecided among scissors, max jack or quick jack. But that is the topic of another thread. If I decide to go the MaxJack route, I have a suspicion that my concrete does not meet the thickness specification. And, I think it's probably cracked (it's under...

Hi. I came across a nice set of (1/4, 3/8, and 1/2) =V= series ratchets over the weekend as part of a surprise haul that came together over the weekend.. I think I've dated them to Late 40's to 50's. The 1/4" still has the oil port, but the oil port is missing on the 3/8" and 1/2"...

I have a DCS355. I really like this tool. And I want to like it more. But I have an issue I hope y’all can weigh in on. Since new, the blade sometimes rotates on the shaft. To be upfront and clear, it is not rotating with regard to losing its registration in the quick release clamping...

Anybody want a older, lightly used, not super well maintained "Union" steel toolbox with tray? Pics below. Free to anyone that wants it. I'm in Reading, PA. No idea what it takes to ship it, but if it's worth the price of shipping to you, let me know. Otherwise, it will be here...

Hola! Looking for a thinwall 13mm socket. Would prefer not to get a set. I'm going to have to remover a walnut **** stock from a receiver quite a bit --- getting it off is no problem, but when I reinstall it, I keep pulling the 1/4" extension out of the socket. Seems the recess in which...

Anyone in Southeast PA (Reading Area) that wants a FREE import jack, just hit me up here. I got a new HF Daytona last March. This thing still worked then as long as I'd pour fluid in it. It leaks pretty significantly. It doesn't raise at the moment. no parts that I know of are missing...

Anyone have any idea what this might be? I have no background. Asking for a friend (yes, seriously). It was in the collection of stuff one of his relatives left behind. No real reason, just curious if anyone knows. I was thinking maybe some tool for installation / rigging of modular...

Here's some photos of a drill press I sort of brought back. When were cleaning out my Dad's shop in 2007, I found this rusted old thing off in a corner. I never even knew he had it. I doubt that he ever used it, but at the moment, sentimentality won, and its' parts spent time in the...

Question for you guys regarding a thermostat and a 240V relay / contactor. I'm not sure whether to go here or into the Heating and A/C subforum. Background: I have a shed where I do woodworking. This winter I installed one of those little 5000W electric heaters with an integrated fan. It's...

As most of you likely are, I’m the fix-it guy around the house. I am generally successful at my endeavors. I have a light fixture that has me stumped. It’s a lighted makeup mirror on a boom arm with an articulating head. I’ve determined that there is a problem with one of the conductors...

Hello; I'm going to get my welder (Hobart Handler 175) fired back up again after a hiatus since moving. I intend to pipe (EMT) from a sub-panel to a 4" SQ Deep Box with appropriate cover for installation of a NEMA 6-50R. Distance of Pipe Run is less than 20'. I'm planning to use #12...

It's heeeerrreee.... Time to find some time....:willy_nil

I plan to install a conduit between the basement of my house and my shed. The shed is elevated from the house. (see pic) Now -- given that all PVC conduit installations leak, or somehow or the other get filled with water, what is my best bet to avoid water being pushed up the pipe, and...

I am stumped. In my little tiny local newspaper, there is a section I always look at, but rarely see anything interesting. Tonight, I see this: 6 open-end wrenches. Various sizes, made by Martin & Co. $1,000 obo. 610-38n-nnnn What???? Who is Martin & Co? :dunno: Suspect member Snappy...

Hello; I have an old style earthquake. The retainer spring on the drive was always problematic and finally broke. Can anyone suggest someplace find one? I didn't see any at one of the local (decent) hardware stores, but there are some more stores a bit farther from me. An online source...

I try to do most of the routine maintenance and repair on my cars. I dont have a tire mounter, balancer or alignment rack, so I have to go to the pros for this. Among a few other things (at least one tire not balanced properly, the steering wheel not being locked in center for the...

I don't recally seeing much on this board about Lowe's house brand, Kobalt. I was at Lowe's today with my boy to get some plywood. We were taking the obligatory stroll through the tool area and I found myself looking at the long 1/2" extensions. Jack picked up a little 3" long 1/4"...
