I've been wanting to pick up a slip roller for a while now and while usually I prefer older American made units, I found this on northern tools website: https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200659551_200659551 The problem I've had with anything that's popped up locally from Pexto or...

I've never owned a mill (or even operated one) but ended up with an index model 40 so cheap I couldn't pass it up. From all of my reading it has a Brown & Sharpe #9 taper and I know I can have the spindle reground with an R8 taper but I'd rather figure out the tooling on mine for now. I know...

I purchased this snap-on impact driver set off of eBay last week and it arrived today with the tab to keep the case closed broken off. I paid a little less than what they seem to go for in used condition via the make offer but nowhere in the listing did it mention the tab was broken off. It also...

Using code PRIMO119. Just noticed it on my homepage, figured I'd give a heads up for anyone who may not have gotten an email or noticed it.

This popped up on a local for sale page, it doesn't offer any description other than unistamp. I'm curious as to what it is, google didn't help me. Is it just a stamping machine?

This popped up on craigslist, I've been wanting a stomp shear for some time now but I'm not really familiar enough with them to know what might be missing. I notice one foot is broken off, but other than that I don't know what to look for. Are parts for this able to be found if anything is...

Sorry for the newb question, I picked this Wissota 3/4hp grinder up off of craigslist yesterday. It was right down the road from my work so I ran over during lunch but didn't realize until I got home last night that it is a 3 phase. I know that each phase is 120v to neutral on 208 3 phase, so...

I've had my eyes on a master cool 71475 for quite a while but recently I discovered that Eastwood has a flaring tool as well (linked below) https://www.eastwood.com/professional-brake-tubing-flaring-tool.html I'm curious if anyone has any experience with this? Its about half the price of the...

I am a hobbyist and my current welding setup is a Lincoln 135 MIG welder and a Miller Maxstar 140 TIG. I've owned both for probably close to ten years, when I started out they were great and I love both machines but the better I get the more limitations I find with them. I'm not particularly...

I took a gamble on buying this 18" pipe wrench at an estate sale over the weekend for $5. It's super light and American made, I thought for sure I'd be able to find the lower jaw for it but after searching here and elsewhere that doesn't seem to be the case. I did find some history on the maker...

I've about had it with my HF 3" extended reach cutoff wheel, I've gone through two of them and they both constantly stall and in general run slow. A neighbor is a Matco rep and has their 4" version on sale for $280 (normally $330) this week and I'm really tempted. I was looking around to see who...

My trusty Robinair 15101B pump quit pulling a vacuum today and I'm not really sure where to start looking to fix it. I've been using it for nearly ten years and my dad was using it before I ever took it over so I have no idea if there is any support for it. The last few times I've used it a...

So as crazy as it sounds, I want to start saving for a new TIG welder in hopes that I'll find a deal on something this coming December. I've been watching for one on craigslist and nothing decent has shown up in the past 6+ months, everything is either overpriced or overused and at this point...

Two questions in one post! I just picked this motorized Pro Tools bead roller up off of craigslist for a song and everything works great as far as I can tell, but the dies have a thin coat of rust on them. Having never owned a bead roller before, I assume it's ok to sand the rust off and polish...

My little crafstman sander gave up the ghost last night after about 10 loyal years of use. I don't really use it for any finish work, 90% of what I do with it is strip automotive paint, so a 3/16 or 5/16 throw would be good. I'm currently working on a project that's running a little long in the...

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I was curious if anyone had any experience with this wire? I was hoping to pick up a few spools of various colors for a few projects I want to tackle on my truck and I found this for cheap on eBay. There are a few things under the hood I want to...

I bought some stainless brake line tubing clips that came with stainless M5-.8 bolts and matching stainless Nyloc nuts. The clips mount on the frame, but my only concern is that I am running the exhaust tubing on my truck through the frame and the clips will be about 3.5" away from the pipe...

Hey everyone, it's been a little over 6 years since I last logged in here so forgive me if I'm in the wrong section or asking something that has been beaten to death. I currently have a lincoln metallurgist L auto darkening helmet with a 10 shade. I've loved this helmet for the past 5+ years...

and a lot has happened since I posted pictures, or updates on our garage build. Last November (I think, I try and forget) this happened...enough to make me sick and not want think about it. Not quite the addition that we were hoping for.. Lots of stuff broke, I didn't take any pictures on...

Its been a while since I've posted here. Bigger things have come up in life...they've kept me away. Anyways, its come to my attention that I use offset wrenches quite often (never used to) and I am wanting a new set of offsets that aren't quite as cheap. I'm going to try and still see if I can...
