Does anyone have any idea what this was used for?

I recently acquired this vintage snap on wedge grip wrench 1/2" -7/16". From the marking, it appears to be of 1953 vintage and looks to have lived a very rough life with all of the chrome wore off. Just curious if anyone has used such a wrench in the past and on what? Not sure if it has as much...

I have this old Stanley square that I've had since the '60s and it was old when I got it so I wouldn't be surprised if it's from the 40s or something. Anyway I'm trying to clean up the blade with the graduations on it so that it's readable, looking for suggestions on how to do this without...

So I just took apart my snap-on midget 1/4 inch drive ratchet that I acquired many years ago to lube it since I've had the thing probably over 40 years and I've never done so. Proceeded to take it apart and lube it with some engine assembly lube that I use for my ratchets and then put the thing...

Trying to straighten out a piece of 5/8 30x75 plywood, here's a pic of what it looks like. Plan A was to put some weight on the center of it for a few days, just checked it didn't seem to do anything, now I'm on to plan B. I know if I left it that way a lot longer over time it would...

Just got this little guy from a freind, does anyone have any info on it?

Hammer in question is a 3lb. Sledge, I found this in a house we moved into in 1965, have been using it ever since I started working on cars in the late 70's even though the handle needs to be replaced. I guess what I am trying to find out is who made this hammer, there is a partial mfg mark...

Just received my new Hein Werner (made in USA) 3 ton jack stands that have been on back order since July from zoro.com I didn't mind waiting for them since i got a good deal on them. Regular price was $81, had a 20% off coupon that brought the price down to $65 + tax and free shipping. Upon...

It's actually for the soap dispenser but I'm assuming the faucet has the same nut on it. In addition to installing this soap pump I also need to tighten the faucet fixture also, when I removed the soap dispenser I was able to do it by hand since it was not too tight. I was just wondering if...

So my trusty Hein Werner new winner series 2 ton jack that I bought in 1993, finally crapped out on me. I went to jack up a car the other day and the car would slowly lower then stop at about half way. I've since purchased a HF super heavy duty Daytona Jack which I am happy with so far but I...

Have a chance to get a 5000lb pallet jack for free, do I need it, not really, do I want it, of course I do. It might be useful at some point and for the price I cant go wrong, it does take up a fair amount of floor space but can easily be moved when needed. probably will not use it to move...

Recently returned a defective 1/4" drive torque wrench to HF (thats another story) and was given a new one without any issues. When I got home and opened it up, saw that the torque wrench was set to 50 in/lbs, knowing that torque wrenches should be set to 0 when stored, I said WTF. Looking in...

After i finished charging my ac system with R134A on my car recently and after disconnecting my hoses, the gauges show that there is still pressure in the hoses of about 70psi. In the past when this has happened, I would usually crack a hose to bleed off the excess pressure before storing my...
