    First Icon Tool Purchase

    I just bought my first Icon tool! Not because I have anything against Harbor Freight. I have just appreciated tools from some of the manufacturers a bit higher up the food chain. That was until I saw a post about the 8" Icon needle nose pliers for $18. I believe they are a copy of the Snap...

    Quincy Identification

    Hi all, I am on the hunt for a Quincy compressor. Thinking the 325 is the smallest I want to go for a 5HP single phase motor. I believe there is a 340, 350 and 370 that can also be run on 5HP, albeit lower RPMs. Anyways, I found this compressor and am wondering if someone might be able to...

    Anyone collect these? I thought it was pretty cool and the guy has been trying to sell it here in Colorado Springs for a while now. Not my cup of tea, but thought someone else might be interested. Zeug http://cosprings.craigslist.org/tls/3638068786.html

    Sears 1.5T Floor Jack- Save or Not?

    A very good friend of mine gave me a Sears Floor Service Jack which does not work properly. It will barely lift with nothing on it, and is quite easy to push down with my foot. The general fit and finish seems much nicer than my Costco 3.5T jack, which I know is an import. Anyone know if...
