I'm looking for a good quality set of mini / micro drill bits, like this set for example just not amazon Chinesium ****. I'd love a high quality cobalt steel set of these mini bits, preferably USA or German made. Any suggestions welcomed, thanks.

I've been puzzled by this HF wrench set for a long time. Why does it skip 13 mm and 18 mm? I don't think I've ever seen a metric set that skipped 13 mm? Maybe they think people will buy the SAE set too and sub the 1/2 for the 13? - and the 5/8 for the 16 mm? Those 2 sae subs make sense, but...

Hi all, was servicing a nice Challenger 1060-1 round head ratchet and of course lost the tiny spring for the pawl. These are not the easiest ratchets to service due to the tiny size of the parts and the awkward reassembly procedure. Anyone have a spare spring or know the size so I could get one...

I watch some of the YouTube channels of guys who claim to score motherlodes of tools at flea markets and such and they all go ga-ga over old Made in USA V series craftsmen, as if this stuff is somehow rare or valuable. They claim to get big money on ebay for stuff like the USA raised panel...

I need the larger snap ring that holds the grooved escutcheon around the anvil into the teardrop head of the ratchet for a Cman 3/8 drive ratchet model 43784. This is not a normal snap ring, it's some proprietary C'man part that is NLA except from the ebay price gougers selling NOS rebuild kits...

Anyone know the correct snap ring size for an older USA made Craftsmen 3/8 drive ratchet with ratchet model number 43784 ? This is the larger snap ring that hold the anvil's round escutcheon to the ratchet head. I scored the ratchet for a buck at a yard sale this weekend, it cleaned and lubed...

Hi all, any idea of value of a Walker Turner 1200-00 model drill press? I have one as part of an estate that I'm looking to sell, along with a lot of other tools. Thanks.

Seems like way less bids and lower prices lately on vintage tools on ebay, compared to say a few years ago. Anyone else notice this? Also a lot of buy it now with really stupid high prices that just sit forever. The sellers are dreaming. I think the party is over.

Anyone ever buy from this site: https://www.neckwas.space/products/cub-cadet-wheeled-string-trimmer-st-100-24713/?variant=0 The prices seem way too good to be true and can't turn up any info about this company online. What do you guys think ?

How much worse was the 1950s and 60s "Dunlap" budget line of wrenches etc vs the "name brand" Craftsmen? For example, see page 12 of the 1960 catalog here: http://www.blackburntools.com/articles/rose-tools-catalog-archives/sears/pdfs/sears-craftsman-1960-hand.pdf Looks like the Dunlap wrench...

I've been hitting garage sales and flea markets etc. in NJ/eastern PA area for 20 years, and was thinking how rare the older Craftsmen V series metric stuff seems to be. I'm the guy who will root thru boxes of old wrenches at barn sales etc. and seems like old metric stuff just isn't out there...

I bought this heater off of Northern Tool recently and installed it today: https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200631838_200631838 I ran 1/2 inch black steel pipe to the heater's gas intake connection and then thru the outside wall, then put a female 1/2 to male 3/8 flared brass...

Hi all, I am going to buy this direct-vent propane heater very soon from Northern Tool for my 18 x 30 foot shop: https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200631838_200631838 I plan on running this heater off a 40 lb camper propane tank (the ones that are about twice as big as a BBQ...

I need to heat the second floor of my 3 story barn. It's basically one large 600 sq foot room. Walls and ceilings have fiberglass batts but they are undersized (2 x 4 thickness batts in 2 x 6 stud/rafter bays). I could easily add more/thicker batts since the walls are unfinished. I was planning...

I have an older Generac pressure washer model 00797, with a 5.5 HP Techumseh engine. Pump is shot. The pump is a 4 bolt style with bolts 2.5 inches on center in a square pattern. Output shaft from the engine is 2 1/4 inches, not yet measured the shaft diameter. Any power washer guys know a...

Hit a garage sale today, scored made in USA craftsmen deep sockets: 1/2, 11/16, 7/8, 13/16, 1, 1- 1/16, 1 1-16, and 1 1/8. All of these sockets were 10 cents a piece from a bucket full of mostly old Taiwan marked junk. All are 12 pt., 1/2 drive. Also scored the wrenches for $2 each, most a...

I bought the OTC grease gun during a promo they were having a couple weeks ago. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EVPLRRU/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It's a nice unit but is "leaking" a huge streams of grease from the automatic air bleeder fitting. It is pushing out in a huge stream. I wipe it off and...
