Well, it looks like Lowes is selling the last of the real made in USA wrenches at a discount. These were produced at their ill-fated factory in TX which is now just a memory. I wonder how many they actually got to produce before they shut down for good? https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN/5002857563

I have a set of Craftsman MAX AXESS ratchets and sockets...the 3/8 gave up the ghost yesterday and I really LOVE this set. Since Sears is pretty much worthless as far as replacing tools go (plus there are none left where I love) what would the alternative be? TIA

I picked up this vise today at a tag sale for 50.00. The owner coated it with cosmoline and it really looks mint. It's a good, heavy vise - I'd like to ID the date built (approx) and is it normal to have smooth jaws? TIA!

Last week I had a rep from a geo-thermal company contact me to see if I "qualified" for geo-thermal heat. No mention of cost whatsoever so I sent him on his way. However, my interest was piqued. Does anyone here have it? Is it reliable? Cost/year? I currently have oil and I'd say my cost for the...

I was over a guys house the other day (picking up some tires from Marketplace) and we needed a 3/8 ratchet for a quick adjustment. He goes to his shop and gets a ratchet. It was a Husky product. What got me is that it had a knurled handle that you'd spin and it would turn the ratchet head. This...

Anyone here have an idea of the maker of this workbench? I can pick it up for a few hundred but that seems a bit high...it's less than 1 mile form my house.

My Sears battery charger finally gave up the ghost. I'm looking for a decent replacement. Must be: 12V charger Have jump start feature Would like a digital display, but that part isn't too important. Anyone have a good *reliable* charger? My Sears was anything but, that's why I'll buy anything...

Going down to pick this up tomorrow...anyone have any ID or info? TIA

Nice Scientific calculator, used but works 100%. $7.00 & will ship for 3.75 in bubble envelope.

FS in CT Cordless Porter Cable-Makita-Dewalt Drills-SOLD! I have 3 cordless drill sets in their original cases. Never commercially used, home use only. Batteries are probably marginal as I have not used them in some time. 30.00 for all 3. Assume batts NOT working! Please PM with any...

I picked up a nice little Rock Island 605A that was in very nice shape, but still will need a light resto. Not being too familiar with RI's, can anyone here tell me how the lead screw is held to the unit? There was a crimp washer on it and at the beginning or the threads is a very small weld...

Picked Up This Not So Nice Chas. Parker Today~UPDATE~ Picked this up for $15.00 at an estate sale down the road from me today. Looks like it was someone's beater and they certainly didn't show it much love but it has "character" to me. I'll clean it up, maybe paint it, but I actually DO have a...

I've just inherited this Snap On tire balancer-but- It's missing the power cord. It appears to be proprietary but I'm not sure and at a loss. A Snap On rep that I know claims he can get it but "it'll be a few hundred dollars" which is outrageous for this...anyone here have any alternatives...
