    Another help me identify a vise thread. EDIT: Solved, it is a sheldon vise.

    I looked through several of the other vise threads and couldn't really find one that I felt this post belonged in so I just created a new post. I bought this vise for $15 at a thrift shop and it's got a very unique handle design so I'm curious if it's something other than just a hunk of Chinese...

    Is $200 a decent price for an old Delta 11990 drill press?

    Hello, I found a delta 11990 (12") drill press at a Goodwill store and it seems in decent shape. I've been wanting a bench model drill press for a while as that is the only thing I'll be able to fit and this one seems more Stout than a smaller $200 import drill press. They're asking $200 for it...

    Home Depot is getting out of the tool repair business including Ridgid LSA repairs.

    Hey y'all I just brought in a ridgid drill for repair to Home Depot and the repair guy told me that at the end of next week they are no longer going to be doing any tool repairs. So if you need your rigid tools fixed under the lifetime service agreement you're going to have to go through rigid...

    Found an old USA made adjustable wrench at goodwill. Had never heard of this brand.

    After doing some research online it turns out fleet was the precursor to proto which makes this pretty cool. I figure it was well worth the $4 to learn about a new brand. It is in surprisingly excelleng condition considering it's age, looks to never even have been used as a hammer. most of...

    Harbor Freight 1"x30" sander vs drillpro 1"x21" grinder attatchment?

    Harbor Freight 1"x30" sander vs drillpro 1"x21" grinder attatchment? So I have been considering getting a small inexpensive belt sander that I can store easily as I have a really small workshop, and only a few bux. I was looking at reviews for the HF 1x30 when I came across this angle grinder...

    New Hart tools at walmart, Ryobi clones made by tti

    It looks like Walmart just rolled out their "new" tool brand. The power tools are made by tti and seem to be older brushed ryobi tools with more "modern style" slide batteries. Looks like Walmart is trying to pull more away from harbor freight with a recognizable brand name and "decent" tools...

    Dewalt is recalling one of their 40" prybars

    Figured some of ya'll may have one of these. No one wants a bar this big to snap when reefing on it hard. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2019/dewalt-recalls-utility-bars-due-to-injury-hazard

    Do any of you have or use a rotator ratchet?

    I have a husky branded version of this Stanley (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-3-8-in-Drive-Rotator-Ratchet-89-962/203740742) that I got years ago and it has always been handy for me especially in tight spaces. I see a lot of ratchet talk on here but never see any talk about this type of...

    Any downside to using jobber length drill bits

    most of my metal drilling is generally 1/2 or less deep, and for the price of 1 regular drill bit I can get a 12 pack of jobber bits. For example https://www.lowes.com/pd/CLE-LINE-12-Piece-1-4-in-x-4-in-Cobalt-Twist-Drill-Bit/999917913 . 12 1/4" cobalt drill bits for less than $6 seems like a...

    amazon - Astro Pneumatic Tool 8334 2 Shelf Plastic Cart with Locking Lid $22.50

    I saw this on slick deals and figured i would pass it along here. seems like a good dead for a little cart (if it actually ships, shipped and sold by amazon so it is probably good) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XUXP7Y/?tag=atomicindus08-20 this is cheaper then the HF 2-shelf cart...

    Best way to store drill bits in a tool chest?

    I have managed to acquire several sets of drill bits (brad point, hss, cobalt, masonry, sdsplus, spades, etc). I want to store them together in a drawer in the tool chest, and don't really want to have 5 different indexes or just tubs of mixed sizes in there. does anyone make trays (for...

    what is a good cost per socket?

    All I have socket wise is what most people here would call a trunk set. one of those "225" piece sets that has an odd mix of sizes and types of sockets plus bits/L-keys/other stuff. I am thinking of getting something like this...

    New bosch x-lock grinders.

    I just saw this today looks like they are adding a quick lock to their angle grinders similar in function to the quick blade change on oscillating multi tools. I think they are due out in late 2019. I am kind of stoked for this as it looks like it will be very convenient, but only if it is...

    Internal dimentions of the open bottom area on hf 4 drawer tech cart.

    I am think of a specific project/use for a 30" 4 drawer tool cart, but I cannot seem to find the actual measurements of the bottom area so I was wondering if anyone on here that has one can measure theirs. I have a harbor freight in town but not particularly near me so I figured since google...
