You guys and gals were so helpful with suggestions for my last box cleanup and a couple vise restorations that I just had to come back with another! Have a 1978 lower box, KA model. The handle is two pieces of metal that fit together and two rectangular rubber end caps. The handle is beat up...

Just saw this, “Walker Turner Lathe” https://charlotte.craigslist.org/tls/d/walker-turner-60-wood-lathe/6740310892.html Can’t figure out how to get a url of the item to post, sorry. Edit...maybe this

Recognize this bench (logo)? Logo looks like AXE with the A and the E being small caps. My google-fu is too weak to get anything given how common the word Axe is. Any info would be appreciated. I know that the pics are terrible, nothing I can do about it at the moment.

Tried a search, but the product name isn’t conducive to effective search. Just looking for thoughts on the product and imitations. From online reviews it look like the original is far better than the imitations, no surprise there. Application will be mineral spirits, alcohol, and brake...

Bought one today for the princely sum of $15. Mostly came apart pretty easy. Swivel jaw is rusted in place, have it soaking in kroil and giving it a few taps with a copper mallet every few hours. Bottom of that jaw is marked 09, does that mean anything? Should I put the vise back together and...

It’s a residential garage floor in NC. Will need to drill it to check thickness, but assume 3”. I am planning to install a pallet rack against the back wall to store some metal. Total weight will be about 6,000-8,000 lbs. Four posts, each 3”x3”. I’m anxious to get this project going, but a...

It’s a trivial amount, $20, but maybe that makes it worse. Anyway, I suggest caution in your dealings. I was looking for a certain type of screwdriver. He said he had some. We agreed on the price, $20, and I sent it to him in cash. He confirmed by PM that he got the cash, but he’d been sick...

I don't know if it's a great deal or anything, but I think it's cool. 3/4" Drive-Antique Blackhawk Socket Set with matching toolbox https://raleigh.craigslist.org/tls/6299417413.html

I've decided to replace my hodgepodge of 1/2" drive sockets with a new chrome set. I have some older Proto Professional hex drivers and I really like them, because t don't have a single Proto socket. I have or have has some older Williams and Wright sockets, liked them but don't know where...

SO IM460 is a 1/2" Drive 1 7/16 shallow 6pt impact socket. I know it's a little odd to just have one, picked it up used years ago for a project and haven't used it since. It's in good used condition. Free to whoever has a use for it, just send me a PM.

Since the last wrench I posted turned out to be a barbed wire fence tool I thought my next really should be a wrench. This also came from the farm, it was on top of the cistern pump for as long as anyone could remember. It is marked Bemis & Call H & T Co Springfield Mass U.S.A Not sure why a...

So I've go these new pimped-out chromed casters to go on my KRL1001. They have a lever lock that bears against the side of the wheel at the axle, whereas the old Faultless casters locked against the outside of the wheel. On one the lever action is super stiff, takes 100+ lbs to get it all the...

Looking for some to restore. Screwdrivers are the most common, but hammers and adjustable wrenches are around. I've heard that they once made box wrenches, but I don't think I've ever seen one. Anyway, plan is to remove the handle, clean up the metal, profile the tip, cut a new handle. Should...

I believe that it was used to adjust seed plates, but not sure. Anyone recognize it? Handle is marked D-7 and head is marked D8. Not sure if that's a mark above the D8. Also maybe a mark on the handle. Thanks all!

Was tearing mine down tonight and noticed that the bottom narrow drawer is cut for two pairs of slides, but only has one pair installed. Is that consistent with what y'all have seen? Have never had a weight problem with that drawer, so not really concerned about it, but would add a set of...

Old vs new. The old has that spring that I always thought provided some self-leveling. The new ones seem to be fixed vertically but prettier. The new ones also move sideways on their axle while the old ones have little to no such play. My issue is that the rubber has worn off the pivoting...

I'm not supposed to use the classifieds until I get to 100 posts, I fully understand why! That said, I have this socket organizer that I won't be using and that might be something someone is looking for. Was going to post it as "PIF: older socket organizer" but am not sure where to post that is...

Hello all, new member, specific issue brought me here. Bought this box yesterday ($400). Has a little surface rust going on at the bottom and some in pry bar box, nothing that'll be hard to remove. This is my second SO box, this one will be specifically for gunsmithing, I like the height for...
