So, I have an SK tool I needed to warranty, and reached out to them by email. Got an automated response about them being busy, but they will surely get back to me. A week goes by, nothing, Another goes by, still nothing. I send another email, same request - not even an automated response this...

Like many people, I am fascinated with SR-71 program, and there are lots of nostalgia-tinged photos of them out there, basking in the sun with turquoise sky and distant mountain ranges on a desert plane in the distance. But does anyone know of any photos where the tools and shop that were used...

Greetings all! I was looking at multi-tools lately, and after some research went with a renewed Bosch unit model GOP40-30 sold through authorized retailers, mostly cpooutlets.com. I still haven't got the tool yet to check in person, but looking over the order, I noticed that every single store...

Has anyone ever heard of this brand? I found one at the flea market this week, but because it was pricey at $22 and has some weld spatter I didn't end up buying it, though I kinda feel I should have. I was only able to find a couple of photos online from sales listings. These look like they...

Hi all, I am in the process of cleaning house and am digging though piles of stuff I bought over the years from flea markets and garage sales. I have a big pile (40 at the moment) of mismatched U.S.A. sockets, I'd like to sell them as a whole rather than a socket at-a-time, but that's an option...

I recently came in possession of an old Li-ion Panasonic set of a drill and driver in 14.4v, and would love to get a battery or two, but unfortunately they are virtually unavailable outside of crappy third-party Chinese options on eBay... so I'd much rather find a used one in decent shape. And...

Hi all! I am looking for some input in regard to 1/4 bits, a couple of extensions specifically. On their site, PB Swiss and most other manufacturers offer two "flavors" of screwdriver bits, which look like regular shaft with retaining grooves, and the kind for power tools with a groove for a...

I have been cleaning up a lot of old tools lately, and frequently (and very stupidly) I hand-sand or wire-brush them indoors and without a respirator - something I keep reminding myself not to do. One particular concern I have is a couple of tools I sanded that have a flaking finish that has a...

I have something rather interesting soaking in my tray of Evaporust today; My Dad helpfully picked up a few old tools for me, and among them was this cute little plier/cutter by DeVilbiss, that I can find virtually no mention of - except in google docs dating to 1910 about their factory in...

Sorry if this is the wrong section, mods, please move to correct section if needed! Also sorry for butchered title, posting before coffee. I recently acquired a GE 26136 motor, (identical to one seen here https://www.shopfloortalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37571) and in the process of...

I realized that I have occasional need to undo rather large slotted bolts, for which even a large screwdriver is ill-suited since on old stuff a lot of these bolts are soft, and need a hollow-ground tip and lots of torque. A hammer-impact driver from Vessel I have can deal with them well, but...

Trying to finish out a set I have. Looking for; 11mm, 3/8, 6point, deep, dual marked (laser and stamped with size), USA made. 16mm, 20mm-24mm, 1/2, 6point, shallow, dual marked (laser and stamped with size), USA made. Used in good shape is fine. If you have spares that you are willing to let...

I have a few unlabeled flat tip screwdrivers that I picked up over the years, and I was curious if anyone could tell me more about them, such as probable age or brand? Image linking doesn't seem to work for me, so here is a direct link! https://imgur.com/a/KKJHPdq They are smaller than...

So in my travels I spotted a gearing mechanism of what looked like a rather large ratchet. It was pretty rusty but is cleaning up nicely with some vinegar. It has 24 teeth, two retaining balls for a socket, and measures to be 3/4 inch. Any ideas what ratchet this may have belonged to?
