The backstory: (You can skip this part) I'm not what I would call a connoisseur of tools. I've gained an appreciation of vintage tools through the Garage Journal, finding the GJ through my appreciation of old hot rods via the Jalopy Journal. Anyway, I ended up deciding that my garage...

I've been kick'n the idea around about picking up a tap and die set. The price on this Craftsman set made me "settle" for this set. The taps and dies seem ok, but the tap and die wrenches ****. But, for how much I plan to use it...well, IMO $100 bucks isn't bad for a starter set. The 75...

A bench I don't want, a Wilton vise I can't afford... but I'd like the Craftsman bench grinder. Anybody want to partner up? :D See link below: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/tld/3566926696.html I'm thinking the block grinder might be $50 in that condition? It's missing parts (assuming it...

My eyesight is decent and I'm not that old. But, it always seemed like I was hunting for sockets and then hunting for the size of the socket each time I looked at them. I decided to cough up the coin for a new easy to read socket set - Craftsman. I compounded deals and got the 176 piece easy...

I've been looking on Craigslist for a looooong time for an 25ish gallon air compressor. I even posted about a used oil-less Craftsman Pro compressor a few weeks ago for $200. It fit my needs and fit my price range. My enthusiasm cooled when I asked about it here... so I let it pass. (I later...

I've been looking for an air compressor on CL for a while. I think I found one that would fit my needs. It's a Craftsman Professional 2 stage, direct drive 120v compressor with a 25 gallon tank. The reviews say this compressor is very quiet - that would be nice. I'm expecting to go look at...

I had such a good time doing a clean & paint on my drill press that I thought I would give it another try on a table saw. I picked this up on my lunch break last week in Phoenix: It's in real decent shape but I wish it didn't have to be on the stand. There was also a 1958 Craftsman...

I've been looking for an older 1/2 hp Craftsman grinder - but when I saw this set up I had to have it. Here's the story: A guy bought this 1/3 hp grinder and attachments from the widow of the original owner. It was new in the box. He hooked up the grinder but never really used it. He offered...

Yep, I got sucked into buying one of these too. I spent more than I should have on this but I really liked that it had the Craftsman motor on it (dated 10/56). I'm pretty sure it's all there and in decent shape. I exchanged a couple of e-mails with the owner who was asking waaaayyyy too much...

I've tried to use my mig welder on 115v at someone else's house and I trip the garage electrical breaker. I think the wiring in the garage is sub-par but that's another topic (another buddy's 115v Lincoln tripped the breaker too). On the side of his garage is a RV plug for a camper or...
