My dad inherited my grandfather's tool box quite a few years ago, but only used the usual tools (sockets, wrenches, etc). He never got into some of the more specialized tools in the bottom of the tool box. During Hurricane Harvey, the tool box was submerged in 7 foot of water, and now my...

Cleaning out my shop, and I've had this thing in the way since we bought the house. It doesn't lift at all, so I'd need to rebuild it at the least. Are these worth anything? Don't want to buy a $30 rebuild kit if it's going to be worth $35 when I'm done and I have no use for it.

Coworker was given a 5 gal bucket of rusty tools that were going to the trash. Usual assortment of tools, with a few exceptions that deserve a You **** (handful of ratchet wrenches, and a reversible Snapon torque wrench) He brought these pliers to me, asking what they were. My first thought...

Now, before you freak out... this would NOT be mounted on a vehicle afterwards. I'm wanting to build some decorative type pieces and trying to find the proper process for welding spring steel without it or the weld cracking. I'm not worried about annealing, it doesn't need to retain the...

Background: These 2 compressors are at work, outside, feeding a concrete batch plant. The air is tied together on both, but are controlled separately inside the office. Depending on how much they have to pour, they can run one or the other, or both at the same time. The problem is, the one on...

Well, sorta. We're in the process of cleaning out my grandfathers old shop and found a few things that had been lost and presumed pawned off. My uncle that lives on the property now has said anything in the shop can go, he just wants the space. I've still got a few things to get (air compressor...

I need some help. I have a loan through Snap-On Credit and I need to know how to pay on it. I got it through the dealer that came to where I USED to work, but he won't call me (I've sent him a few messages via FB) and I don't know his number. He goes there on wednesdays, and it just so happens...

The compressor in question is a Curtis with a single phase 230V 5 HP motor. My dad swears up and down that we need to hook it up with a motor starter and an overload circuit. Is it necessary or just "better"? We wire up compressors at work this way all the time but they run big motors and 3...

Ok, I've seen this done before, but I can't think of the name of it to search for it. I'm going to put my welding table on casters, but set it up so the casters will raise the table off the ground so it will roll and also lower the table so it's on the floor and stable. Make sense? :confused:

I know, I know. Copper, galvanized pipe, black pipe, etc... Would it be possible to use hydraulic hose as an airline? I have access to almost as much 3000 psi wire-braid hydraulic hose as I want, as well as fittings. I know moisture could be a problem, but with a proper dryer setup, wouldn't...

The previous owner left this 10" Craftsman radial arm saw when we bought the house, and it's been nothing but a waste of space for me. Just another junk storage spot that I don't need. I'd like to sell it, but have no clue what it's worth. As far as I know, it works fine (he said it did), it...

A guy has one for sale locally, but no price on the ad. All it says is "Simplex model 85A railroad jack is in good condition and works great, just don't have a use for it. For sale or trade, make offer." I did a little looking, and they're still made and cost ALOT of money. Is this something...
