    What is this Collins Company tool?

    Ran across this in a yard sale and wonder if anyone knows its purpose. I know that The Collins Company made fine axes and machetes, but this looks like a specialized agricultural tool. Any ideas out there?

    L- Hex Wrench marked KGM

    I picked up a 9/16" "Allen-type" hex wrench today at a local pawnshop for a kitchen faucet repair. All of my hex keys are either Bondhus or Allen branded buy only go up to 3/8". This one will be fine for the limited application, but I never heard of KGM. Only marking on the tool is: "KGM...

    Anyone know what this U.S. marked tool is?

    Picked this little item up in a box 'o stuff at a yard sale a couple of years ago, and just ran across it while doing some clean up. At first, I thought that it might be a brake piston compression tool or maybe a battery terminal puller. No luck in Googling it so I throw myself at the mercy of...

    Herbrand Ratchet

    Hello all. Was cruising my local pawnshop and picked up this old Herbrand S-7 1/2" drive ratchet today for $10. First Herbrand ratchet I've come across. Cleaned it up a bit and it seems to work fine, but has some slop in the selector switch that causes it to skip a tooth or two every now and...

    SK Ratchet ID and approx. Manufacture date

    Greetings fellow GJ'ers. I picked up a SK 40970 1/4" ratchet with an old Patent No. 1981526 that I'm trying to determine the date of manufacture. I originally posted this query on the General Tools thread but Ganymede (my only response) suggested a posting here might yield better results...

    Calling all SK gurus. I picked up this ratchet at a yard sale over the weekend along with a couple of Owatanna pullers and a few other "come-in-handy's" for a total of $5. I think it might be pre-Dresser Industries, but I know that someone out there will have a better handle on when it was...

    The Dreaded Tuff-Torq K46 Hydrostatic ******

    OK guys, I just finished reading a "Lazarus" post (one resurrected from the dead) from 2013 regarding lawn tractor replacement due to bad transmission. A short search will yield numerous complaints about this "defective" item that's probably used in 60% of riding mowers across all brands. Seems...

    Who Needs Free HF Toolbox Locks (No Keys)

    I purchased a floor model 26" Harbor Freight box a few months ago and there were no keys included. After a few phonecalls to HF Corporate, I purchased replacement locks. Found these today when I was cleaning and organizing in the garage. Was about to toss them when I thought, "What the heck...

    Duped on Craigslist

    Thought that I was getting a pretty good deal with a KRA-380 roll cab and unused "Snap On" upper chest until I got a good chance to examine the top chest. No markings other than "MADE IN CANADA" in the middle of the back panel. Closer examination of the cover showed someone had redrilled it to...
