Hey guys, any help on this vise?

I have just finished painting my shop cabinets. They are melamine cabinets, and I used rattle cans of Premier paint to cover them. It looks fairly good, but you can see a few dry overspray lines. I wad thinking of applying some sort of wax to them to try and seal the paint and increase the sine...

Hey guys, I know this has been asked a bunch of times, please don't hate me for asking again. My wife suddenly came up with the idea of finishing the garage walls, right now they are just bare drywall. In our typical fashion that meant we had a quote 3 hours later, and booked the contractors...

I need some help on my Quincy I just bought. I've had others, but they all had much simpler plumbing. I fired this one up, and it seems to be letting pressure straight from the tank out of this hole. Anyone know what to make of that?

I have a low pressure parts washer with a turntable and a series of spray nozzles, but it just doesn't seem to clean well. Has anyone converted this type of unit to a high pressure, or what gives? It works ok, for light oil and stuff, but anything that has any amount of grime on it, it just...

I just bought a vise for a new shop vise & restoration project. I know nothing about vises, what can you tell me? It is a Record no.4. Somewhere there has to be a listing of what each number stands for?

If you had to pick one or the other which would it be? I've never really had a use for crowsfoot wrenches at all, but they arent terribly expensive and was looking at picking up a set. It looks like the flare wrenches are smaller overall, but may be an issue because they can't slide over a nut...

I know years back Trusty Cook was a regular poster here and often had special colors or blemish deals. I can't find that now. Is that still going on? It seems they only stock red for some reason now as well.

I've started a project on a Kubota skidsteer which has led me to want for some angle wrenches. I will be purchasing Tekton. But I need to know what sizes. I think the best suited place for these is on hydraulics, which would be bigger sizes. Is there a reason I should buy the smaller sizes too...

I have a job coming up where I need to replace most of the AC hoses on a piece of equipment. Maybe a couple I could splice in half way as they are very long. I just bought the crimper below, but I need to know where to get ferrules and hose for cheap. I know the crimper is cheap quality, but...

Anyone have opinions on this? There's a lot to choose from and lots of crossover between lines. I have Tekton stuff I'm happy with but I have not ventured into the other brands.

Anyone know where the best place is to buy individual Williams sockets to fill my set / replace lost or damaged ones?

I am reconfiguring my Quincy, and want to know how to add a thermal overload to my magnetic starter. Currently the thermal overload is on the motor itself, but I want to remove and put it in the starter box. Why? Because the starter currently has the reset button doing nothing and it bothers...

Does anyone know anything about vault doors? I recently acquired one from an old bank, maybe 70s or 80s. I can't find a tag or anything on it. It's very heavy, I'd suspect the 1500-2000lb range without the frame.

I'm wondering what I can use to bend a piece of copper or stainless pipe for my compressor. I dont have a tubing bender or any sort and don't plan on buying one for this one off. The pipe is 3/4 od. Alternatively I can move my compressor 2", but the holes are there and it's bolted down already.

Can anyone ID this compressor for me? I THINK it say AT5 on the model tag but I can't read it well from the provided pictures.

Does anyone know if and or where I can get replacement glass for my EEPV500 compression tester? Everything else is in great shape but the glass is cracked. I don't want to buy a whole new gauge for $110.
