I picked up a Quincy QT-5 pump for $25 bucks. It was in a woodshop. An air line broke and it ran for the weekend. The previous owner just replaced the pump to get back up and running. He said he thinks it might have warped a valve? I got it home and played with it a little. It still turns over...

I'll be moving next week to a new house with 5.5 acres and an old bank barn. I currently have no garage, so my workshop is in my basement. The lower level of the barn already has a concrete floor, so I will be converting that to my workshop. Has anyone else made a workshop in their barn? What...

Just picked up a Lincoln W93642 2-ton floor jack for $40 on Craigslist. How did I do? From what I can find online, this is a pretty decent jack? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I just got a Williams 12lb sledge hammer, and there is a crack in the handle at the wedge in the head. Is this concerning? Or is it ok if the crack is this way? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Hi, I got this jack from my dad and I'm deciding if it's able to be fixed. I found the seal kit online, so I'll rebuild it if needed, and if it's worth it. My main concern is that the one side rail is a little bent. I'm not sure if it's safe to bend it back to straight and call it good. If...

This is listed on craigslist for $50 as a Matco cart. He doesn't know what model it is. Can anybody identify the cart?

I can't find the set I'm looking for anywhere, do they make it? Color coded (or at least colored), Imperial, ball end, with organizer. Basically this, but imperial...

I'm not familiar with Snap On boxes. My dad is buying this one and I want to make sure it's actually a snap on. This is the only pic I have. Can anyone tell if it's a snap on box? What year ish? Should it have ball bearing slides? Thanks

This compressor and tank is on CL locally. Owner doesn't know make or model. Can anyone identify the pump? Thanks

Heading to HF today to get my anniversary present from my wife.

Hi. I'm replacing the capacitor in my Baldor bench grinder. This is the existing one. This is what I ordered: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=370384624104&alt=web And this is what showed up. This shows 8uf instead of the 6 that I ordered. Is that "close enough" for a...

Can anyone ID this grinder. It's posted on a semi-local craigslist for $100. They don't give any info about it, other than it's an industrial grinder that came from a local factory.

I have been picking up pieces to build a larger compressor for many months now. I started with a small US Air compressor that I got for free along the side of the road (just had to add oil to the pump). Then I found a nice vertical tank for $15. I liked the vertical tank better, so I put my...

Hi. I have an old 3hp GE motor that I'm planning I using for an air compressor build. I just got a nice Baldor 3hp motor for basically free, the problem is, it doesn't have a base for horizontal mount, it only has mounting holes on the face of the motor. Has anyone made a bracket to mount...

I need a double groove 2.55" pulley with 1.125 bore to get the right rpms. The problem is that I can't find that pulley off the shelf, fixed bore or bushed bore. I can get a 2.55" pulley with a 1" bore that is "rated" to be bored out to 1.125". I have access to a mill. Can I simply bore out...

I have an Emglo L pump and a 3hp 3450 motor. The pump has a 10"pulley. I was planning on getting a 2.75" pulley for the motor to get around 950 rpms at the pump. Turns out that I can't find a 2.75" pulley with a 1.125"bore. The smallest one I can find is 3.05", which will put me at 1050rpm...

This compressor is listed on craigslist with no price, I'm supposed to make an offer. The picture has a glitch, so it's a little distorted. The guy doesn't know what he has, it was his dad's. Can any of you ID the compressor from the pic? He says it's a 1.5hp motor, but that seems awful small.

This toolbox just came up on craigslist. Very minimal information on it. Based on the picture, is it a good toolbox? What would the value be for a box like this?

Hi. My dad has had a Craftsman Professional (rebranded IR) impact wrench for many years and it's been a great gun. I bought an IR2135 a while ago and I've only used it once or twice. When I used it, it "sounded weak" and didn't work "as fast" as I expected. I didn't think much of it because it...

Hi, I'm looking at buying an air compressor pump. The guy says it's an Emglo. The only markings I can find on the pump are K30 on the case and L50 on the heads. Is this a good pump? What motor would I need to run it? What cfm would it put out? What's it worth?
