I'm looking at a 42" Husky Tool Box from the early 2000's (on CL.) I'd like to identify to know if it one rated for 50 lbs. a drawer or 100 lbs a drawer. The owner said two sets of the drawer rails were bent (during a move.) So I'm curious if these are still available. He didn't know the...

I'm looking at some Craftsman rolls a rounds on Craigslist. Are there distinct differences between the professional and homeowner line of toolboxes? I assume the friction drawer slides were for the homeowner while ball bearing slides were on the professional line. Is the metal any thicker on...

I'm looking for a decent belt tensioner gauge. I'm just a DIY'r that maintains the family vechicles & kid's vehicles. I don't mind buying used (not abused) or one that costs a few dollars more (you get what you pay for). What gauges are good and which ones are to be avoided? Thanks,

I've been looking for a metric set of Flex-Head ratcheting wrenches; missed the Sears deal last month. At $32, these SAE's look pretty attractive. To bad the metrics don't come in at this price. Amazon - GearWrench 9700 7 Piece Flex-Head Combination Ratcheting Wrench Set SAE...

I picked up a couple of vintage tools, in the pile was a 1/3 H 1725 rpm motor. To test it I hooked up a cord I had (no ground prong). It worked so I knocked it apart, cleaned it, replaced the bearings and painted it. Using the same cord to test, it worked. I thought I was set bit figured I...

Was at Lowes (#0724 - Zip - 34655 FL) this morning. Mibro 8" Stacked Dado marked down from $49.97 to $17.99, three on the shelf.

I'm looking for a discontinued "seal" for my Porter Cable Finish Nailer - DA250. It isn't anything as simple as a gasket or o-ring, but the kind of soft, white-ish material they use so making my own isn't a quick fix. Has anyone ran into replacing piece 106 (diagram), PN 883914? I was hoping...

I picked this up from the flea market for a few bucks, plagued with a bad switch. It looks like a Black and Decker model. The tag doesn't have much info left on it, except for "Type 1". Does anyone recognize the model or have a part number for a replacement switch? Thanks, Ray

Okay, I like tools and have a thing for old tools. When I saw this vintage level at the flea market for $1; you know the story. So it is missing two vial covers and a third is broke. Is there someone more familiar with tools of this era and know if this is a clone (maybe Stanley), if parts...

I picked up a couple of neglected ratchets over the weekend to see if I could bring them back to life. I'm assuming this WorkForce is an import but it looks like a 72 tooth, quick-release ratchet. The pawl was broken so as it sits, it's dead and I don't think it's a warranty-able item. With...

I've tolerated the smell in the garage from my Craftsman screwdrivers but that's about as far as it goes. This set of tools is used on the family cars & maintaining our home, so tools are used in our home too. I passed on the recent screwdriver deals here:( Sams Club has a set of Channellock...

A couple have slipped out of the wrapper over the years and I'd like to replace them: 5/16" x 3/8" PN - WOE1012 3/8" x 7/16" PN - WOE1214

Rotating the tires on Grand Caravan, greasing the lower ball joints and one of them has a hole in the boot. Between this forum and OWWM I'm running out of space in the garage. I'll need a press to replace them. How big do I need: 6, 12 or 20 ton? I'm assuming the HF (or CL) will do...

(If there is a dedicated air compressor thread that covers all this, please let me know.) I horse traded for a Speedaire (Grainger brand) air compressor: 3Z428B 2HP Motor = Dayton 9K328G Compressor = 2Z499A When I got it the motor wouldn't cycle on, checked the pressure switch and one side...

This came in a grab bag of tools I picked. It's old but still works. Any idea on who made it? The only markings on it are "B9855" Thanks, Ray

Dug this out of the bottom of the tool box to find the retaining ball (to hold the socket on) is MIA. This a USA ratchet (#20202). Should this be warrantied or will I end up with an import replacement? Is there a kit available for it (manufacturer, third party or ebay)? Thanks,

While putting together a set of used impacts I came across this Duro Indestro (#1155) 1/2" drive extension. Since I'm not up to speed on the Duro line I'm assuming this one is dead; missing the retaining ball to hold a socket on. Does it have a different use or can it be repaired? Thanks,

Two little guys slipped away. Missing - SK 1/4dr 6pt 5/32. The 3/16 # = 40906. Missing SK 1/4dr 6pt 3/16. The 1/4 # = 41808. Also missing a 13mm 12 pt (different listing). Thanks
