    Unusual Hammer, Solomon Anderson 1845

    Saw this on Facebook. Usually when I see a tool I don't recognize I search for it here and don't need to post. Searched for Solomon Anderson 1845 and Excalibur 4 which was in the description but didn't find anything. I can't imagine what the curved back is for?

    Info on Snap-on Lic-Reissue 3/4 drive socket.

    Among some 3/4 drive sockets I picked up is this older Snap-on LDH-422-A 1-5/16 inch 12 point. Noticed the Lic-Reissue text and couldn't anything about it. Was it a patent or trademark renewal? Thanks for any info.

    Tiny Shopsmith For a Doll House?

    I browse the Kickstarter campaigns and have backed (bought) a few items over the years. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not. But it's entertaining to me to see what people are trying to do and how they pitch it. http://kck.st/3fApr8C It's basically $500, if you aren't familiar with how...

    Opinions on Chamberlain B6753T Garage Door Opener Package Deal

    I'm looking to replace the very old Liftmasters on 16 and 18 foot steel uninsulated garage doors. Keep having to go back to the house to check if I've closed the door or not. ;-) This package is available at Costco right now for $299, it's $399 on the Chamberlain site...

    Identify 3/4 drive extensions and t-handle.

    I've got a bunch of 3/4 drive stuff that I don't need and want to sell, but want to describe it accurately. Everything on the tray is 3/4 drive and has brand/model/size info except the extensions and t-handle. All the rest is USA brands of various kinds but can't tell on the extensions. Can...

    Upside down Craftsman 100 ?

    Saw this on Facebook Marketplace, seems to be a drill press converted to a router table? Is this something common? https://m.facebook.com/groups/314339225358433/permalink/3959443487514637/?sfnsn=mo That link won't work for everyone so here's a picture.

    Spray painting tents? Anyone use them?

    I wasn't sure whether to ask this here or in the vintage tool forum. Doing "rattle can" painting at home ranging from small parts to tool chests. I always struggle with overspray and hanging up plastic and covering the garage floor. I often end up painting in the yard, both for ventilation and...

    KR-657A 1990 Accuride Drawer Slides

    I picked up a Snap-on KR-657A roll cab that I planned to use instead of my KR-557 since it is in overall better shape and has ball-bearing (Accuride) slides. But realized after the fact that the bottom drawers slides are messed up. Thought the drawer was just sticky when I bought it. I think I...

    Help: Craftsman 27g 150psi Air Compressor Suddenly No Power

    I've got this 27 gallon 150psi portable that has been doing great, was using it quite a bit the other night for maybe an hour, not continuously. I had turned it to off position when I was done with that job and then needed it later, but turning it back to auto did nothing even though it was...

    Vintage large drill press part-table-art

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1303655346507736/?ref=facebook_story_share Saw this on Facebook and it just looked interesting. Started to post it in the deals section but it didn't seem to be a good fit. Described as a "work table" I bet it would be the world's heaviest small table...

    Need 3/8 drive 10mm Deep To Complete Set

    Figure it's a long shot, but maybe by chance someone has the socket that is a match for this set. The set isn't worth much except that my Dad had it and one of the only metric tools he owned. The "deep" 3/8 inch drive 10mm is missing and see from the measurements it wasn't that deep, no more...

    Tips on replacing residential 18x7 Garage Door?

    Never replaced an overhead door before. My Mom's house has the original 18x7 wood door with a row of clear windows at the top, house was built in 1987. The bottom wood panels got rotten and repaired probably 15 years ago, but now the bottom panel is so rotten the rubber gasket has fallen...

    Delco Moraine 1972 Open House Coin/Token

    Not a tool, but didn't know where else to put this. I'm hoping the group expertise can tell me about this. Found it in my Grandmothers things. She worked at the Moraine Ohio Frigidaire plant, I think from the war to at least the mid 1950's when she started college at 41 and later became a high...

    Vise ID - 4 inch, swivel base - Montgomery Ward?

    Can this be ID'd? I search quite a bit and found a passing mention to one that had the V20 and V21A marks along with Made in USA. It has interesting "strip" shapes cast into the side. OH, looking closer at the photos just now realized one corner of the swivel base is broken off, so probably...

    Mini Split in FB Marketplace, deal?

    This ad came up, has a room full of 12K mini-splits for $550 with no brand listed. Scam? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3514873305275746/ Sent from my SM-G973U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Good Cheap Work Mat/Tray

    Picked this up for $3.99 at Ikea a while back and just used it while rebuilding drum brakes. Big enough to lay out old and new parts and polypropylene so easy cleanup. Sold as a household tray for wet/muddy boots but I'm finding lots of use for it in the garage. Check out this BAGGMUCK from...

    Biggest (wide/tall) 18" deep Snap On Tool Box Stack

    Wasn't sure how to word the title. Looking to figure out what was the "biggest" stack that Snap On offered in the 18 inch depth. All the modern boxes have gone much deeper. I've got a 557 on a 547 that are 18 inch deep and 32 inch wide. Anything wider ever offered with 18 inch depth? I'd...
