    SOLD: Craftsman USA Sockets (1/2" drive and 3/8" drive) and Wrenches

    I have a large lot of lightly used Craftsman USA sockets and wrenches. The sockets are stamped with a "G2" date code. The 3/8" drive sets are unfortunately not complete as some of the parts have gone missing over the years. I'm asking $50 (SOLD) shipped for it all. Feel free to ask me any and...

    Quiet compressor question

    I'm looking for some advise on compressor selection. I'm trying to downsize from a big (and entirely overkill) three phase Kaeser screw compressor to a less expensive piston compressor. My needs are fairly modest: I reckon that 3 hp (at 240V, naturally) would be sufficient but wouldn't mind...

    Royal 18 drill press spindle question

    A few months ago I picked up a 1940's Royal 18 dill press in fairly rough shape. I've been using it ever since and love it. I switched the dying original motor to a 1.5 hp three phase motor and 1 hp VFD for immediate speed control (and sold the old motor to a collector!). My current problem is...

    Disassembly of Harbor Freight 1/4" swivel ratchet

    Does anyone know how to disassemble the Harbor Freight 1/4" swivel ratchet (linked below)? Mine feels quite dry when ratcheting and with more back drag than I'd like so I want to lubricate it. https://www.harborfreight.com/1-4-quarter-inch-quick-release-swivel-head-ratchet-96781.html
