    Brake work on 4 post lift using a jack tray: bottle jack, small floor jack, or airbag?

    A few months ago I bought an Advantage 4-post lift and I love it. It came with a rolling jack tray, which is great. I can’t afford a bridge jack at the moment, so I’m trying to figure out what the best method is to lift the car with the rolling jack tray. I am leery of the narrow base of a...

    Were older Reed vises painted from the factory?

    I have a 203 1/2 Reed vise which I believe is from 1942 (it’s so dirty that it’s difficult to read the stamp). I’m going to start cleaning it, but I don’t want to strip off any potential paint that’s on it. My question is: were these vises painted black or some other color from the factory? Or...

    Another “is this a good compressor” question

    Hi everyone - I’m a longtime lurker on this site and haven't posted much, but I really need some input. My 1991 30-gallon Craftsman compressor finally crapped out and it’s time for a new compressor. I’m in the process of restoring my 1965 Mustang, so I need something that will keep up with a...

    Hi everyone - I’ve been lurking on this site for a while and decided to join after I recently found my 1956 Craftsman 100 drill press. This is my first post and I hate to start things by being a showoff, but here it is! I paid a whopping $40. It has the original motor and it works nicely...
