    Milwaukee vs. DeWalt “Winter” glove comparo

    Ok not really a tool, but maybe you will find this informative - or not. I've had both of the above pairs of gloves since fall - they are both advertised as "cold weather" gloves. Both sold for a bout the same price. Red from Home Despot and yellow from Blowes. It was a touch cold out...

    Any interest in this Steel Workbench? Chicago area. FREE

    I think this is an Equipto - or similar. 70" long. The steel top is 12 gauge - pretty heavy duty. Yes - that is surface rust, but it is otherwise good condition. Craigslist buyer flaked out and I need to get it moving out. I can help you load, but I'm not as strong as I used to be... The CWV...

    Craftsman Tools - Here's my receipt from 1977

    Vintage hand tool clean-up. Paint or not?

    Like many here, I'm drawn to pick-up old wrenches and hand tools at garage sales and flea markets. Typically, if they have deep rust I'll give them the requisite evapo-rust treatment to stop the corrosion from getting worse. Of course some of the tools were originally painted (black, mostly)...
