Has anyone here recoated OEM hardware black oxide? I'm interested in hearing your results mainly in regards to corrosion resistance. I have ten bumper mounting bolts for my truck I'd like to do. The Caswell stuff seems expensive, so I thought I'd try this: https://a.co/d/0f1o1m04 Then...

Who do we like for 6 ton jack stands? I have a 35 year old pair of Mac 6 ton stands. Looking to add another pair for a project I have coming up. The project car weighs 2400lbs. total, so it's not a weight thing. I want the height of 6 ton stands. So far, I've just looked at Torin on Amazon...

Anyone have one? Are they OK? I'm cutting some small trees out of a fence line in my timber. Thinking about getting a cordless sawzall to cut the stumps down to where they can be mowed over. Biggest stump is probably 6" in diameter, most are much smaller. I hardly ever use a sawzall and...

If you were going buy only one 3/8" cordless ratchet would it be extended reach or standard? My feeling is that I'd prefer an extended reach most of the time.

I have some Harbor Freight money I need to spend by the end of the month. Been thinking about this router: https://www.harborfreight.com/20v-brushless-cordless-compact-router-tool-only-59615.html Anyone have one? I have no router currently and think it would be a good addition to my...

I just saw a CRS350 in a shop yesterday and would like to have one. Besides the fact they're out of stock, I'm sure someone else builds them for Mac. Does anyone know who? https://www.mactools.com/products/crs350

Thinking about getting a box scraper to maintain my gravel driveway and do a little dirt moving. 6' wide, Category 1 three-point. Can anyone recommend a good brand or where to shop?

There's an auction nearby me with a Rockford R27 drill press on it. 3/4" chuck, 1hp single-phase motor. I've already missed the viewing day and can't read the spindle speed chart from this picture. Does anyone know what the slowest two or three speeds are for this thing? Anything else you'd...

Anyone have suggestions for LED light fixtures for the interior of my 8.5' x 20' enclosed trailer? I've just been Amazon shopping. The ones on there all seem like various levels of junk. I had adhesive-backed LED light strips in an old trailer. They worked fine but looked a little too DIY...

Got an email this morning about the Tekton outlet site. There a couple ratchets I might like to try that they've dropped from their lineup. Question is, are they warranteed at all? I didn't see it mentioned. They can't hardly replace them if they no longer have them made.

This AMP compressor was in the building that is now my shop when I bought it. It's been in my storage building for ten years. Thinking about wiring it up so I can have some air in there. Can't find any info online, no cfm rating on the data plate. Anyone have an idea what this thing might put...

Repainting the tongue on my enclosed trailer. It's a mixture of clean, bare metal where I can get to it and still slightly rusty where I can't. Has anyone added hardener to this primer? The coupler and inside surfaces will be topcoated with gloss black equipment enamel. The outside and...

Decided this weekend that my thirty year old abrasive chop saw really does **** so I've been doing some shopping. Think this Jet would suit most of my needs: https://jettools.com/metalworking/sawing/manual-semi-automatic-horizontal-bandsaws/414548 Probably use it vertically as much or more...

Looking at my DP-220. Is this pulley for a table counterweight? I don't see where the cable or chain would attach to the table. TIA

Going through my Mac drill bit/driver set this weekend realized a few things are missing. Does anyone know who makes these for them and if the pieces are available other than through Mac? Then I got to trying to remember exactly how old the set is. I know I bought it when they first came out...

I've found some older threads, but nothing recent. There's a floor model DP-220 for sale semi locally to me. Looks good in pictures, has the third slow-speed pulley. Also has what appears to be the original work light. It's been for sale for a week or two. Guy's asking $300. I'm thinking...

This Delta drill press is for sale semi locally to me. No real description and only one picture. Can anyone tell me about it just from this photo? TIA

Bumped into my local Cornwell guy tonight whom I'd never met. He gave me a flier. Get home and look at it, they have stubby ratcheting wrench sets on special. What's the GJ concensus? I've been thinking about getting ratcheting stubbies but have never owned anything Cornwell.

Who makes a good bottle jack? I'm going to get one to keep in my dually. Hopefully I never use it but it will be kind of important that it works the day I need it.

What do we like for tin snips? Mainly cutting .040"-.060" aluminum.
