It's an Atlas 12" lathe and the rotors are a badly worn pair from a JD Gator. What are my chances of success with HSS tooling? Before anyone says to replace the rotors, they're over $300 a piece.... This machine is badly busted. Struts and ball joints are already on the way so at least I know I...

I need to find a replacement slide stop for an older craftsman ball bearing box. It might be called something else. I'm looking for the little plastic piece to keep a drawer slide from falling apart.

I have never seen anything quite like this. The price seems steep but new from Snap On is over $500. Would this have any value for resale or be significantly better than the Husky torque screwdriver I bought years ago?

I'm interested in some new sockets, particularly 1/4 drive shallows and want the new to be a bit shorter than the typical Taiwanese imports. It's odd how that tiny difference can make such a difference, but I've run into a few situations where the slight increase in length was a pain...

I was really impressed by the Irwin but his shop made vise is a friggin beast.

I'm looking for a decent pair of locking pliers that are less than five inches long. A pair of flat jaw, curved jaws might not be small enough, in the four to four and a half inch range would be ideal. I have a few pairs of the small needle nose style but the jaws on the tiny ones tend to be so...

On Sunday morning I was woken up by the sound of our AC unit. I turned the unit off as quickly as I could but couldn't investigate further until this morning. The noise is a loud, high pitched, whining noise and the condenser fan comes on but turns very slowly. The capacitor was changed two...

Does anybody have any firsthand experience with these chests? I'm considering a top chest as a way to eliminate some of the scatter and clutter associated with not having a regular box for storage and possibly adding the roller cabinet at a later date. I don't have the space for anything wider...

While poking around today I cane across the Aircat 1055 TH with a $20 coupon applied at checkout on Amazon. I'm not sure if you need to be a prime member to take advantage of it but figured someone in need of a stubby impact might want to see this...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in but has anybody in the Chester/Richmond area checked this place out? My mom passed by and told me about them and I think I might take a trip to see what they have to offer. Apparently it's a warehouse converted to a tool store. I figure it...

I came across a Gedore 3293 "plug" ratchet today. The drive plug appears to be missing and I can't seem to find a replacement listed anywhere. Most of the 3293s I've found listed online are reversible. Apparently this ratchet had several revisions over the years. This one came from my mother's...

I hope I didn't break any rules by not posting an introduction before joining in on other threads... I swear, I looked for this section and didn't see it listed! At any rate, I've been reading here for quite a while and count on GJ whenever I see a tool and want to know something about it. Nine...
