    Need Advice on Attaching Hinges to a Small Access Door

    This is a door next to my steps that provides access to a small, side attic. It had a piece of paneling on it, which I was in the process of replacing. When I removed the old panel it revealed that the door had split on the hinge side, and the hinge screws started to pull out of the door. I am...

    Installing a Runner on Stairs - Yes or No?

    When we bought our house years ago it was covered in this hideous, thick, green **** carpet from the 70’s. We removed all of it with the exception of the staircase, because we have dogs and hardwood stairs may be difficult for them. It’s now the last thing left to do so we’d like to remove it...

    Humongous Snap-On Sockets - Yours For $25K!!

    This is a pretty insane set of 1” impacts. I’d be interested to know how they got them and why they’re selling them. They seem unused, but I can’t imagine anyone buying sockets this size without a specific purpose. It’s not like buying a few extra 3/8” drives to fill out your set “just because.”...

    Two Very Different Snap-On Sockets - Same Part#

    I just happened to see this socket on eBay yesterday. It is listed as SIML360, which I recognized as the number for an extra deep 1 1/8” impact socket, so I figured the seller typed the wrong item#. Nope. I zoomed in on the picture and it is indeed the same number. Have they recycled item #s in...

    You’re Using Your Tools Wrong!

    ….and this video will teach you the proper way. This old Plomb video popped up on my YouTube and I figured I’d share it. I can’t imagine it hasn’t been posted here already, but I did a quick search and didn’t see it. I love stuff like this. Disney made a bunch of videos during WWII for the US...

    Snap-On L-78 1 1/2” Drive Ratchet Parts

    I remember reading a thread here (that I cannot seem to find) from a member that had a Snap-On L-78 ratchet and was looking for info on replacement parts since they are NLA from Snap-On. If I recall, the OP was looking for the screw size. I found this posted in the comments of a YouTube video...

    Need Help With Kenmore Dishwasher

    I have a Kenmore dishwasher that was installed shortly before we bought our house in 2008. It’s worked great up until just recently and I hate to replace it, especially since it seems to be something stupid that is causing issues. Here’s what’s going on: When I press the “Start/Resume” button to...

    Need a Recommendation for a Home Air Cleaner - I Have Three Dogs

    I’m in the market for a home air cleaner. My one big requirement is that it has a cleanable/reusable filter. I have three dogs, two are large Shepherd mixes. One of which sheds constantly, the other loves digging in the dirt. I can clean a surface and literally within a few days I can write my...

    Giant Ratchets….Who Makes ‘Em?

    I’m only asking a strictly out of curiousity. Are there any manufacturers that make (or made) giant ratchets? I know lots of companies have a 1” ratchet, but what about something bigger? Snap-On made the L-78 1 1/2” ratchet, but I’ve never seen one made anyone else. I tried doing a google and...

    Need Help With Gasoline Air Compressor

    I have a 30 gallon gasoline powered Speedaire brand air compressor. It’s been sitting for somewhere between 7-9 years. I hooked it up to a new battery today and played with the choke a bit and I got it to run really well. Unfortunately, It’s not pumping any air. If I pull one of the relief...

    Looking for info. on these huge Snap-On wrenches

    Anyone familiar with these round-handled Snap-On wrenches? I pick up these four recently, and I was wondering what sizes Snap-On made with this round handle design? It seems as if I were to buy these wrenches new today they would look like a more conventional, flat-handle wrench. I’m definitely...

    Insurance for your tools and your tools after death……

    So I see there’s been discussion of insurance in the past, but I am interested in it so I’ll ring it up again. Who here has insurance for their tools, is the cost reasonable, how does it work? I did a rough estimate of just my hand tools and I’m looking at $35K replacement cost easily, not...

    Old Craftsman Drill Press

    Anyone have any idea what time period this drill press is from? It came with our shop years ago, which had been a truck shop for decades earlier. This thing is heavy and the torque is insane. I don’t think I’m looking to get rid of it because I imagine it works better and will last longer than...

    Heavy Truck Shop Equipment Clutch Trans Jack Kingpin Press A/C Machine Gasoline Compressor Tire Tools Antique Headlight Aimer

    Located on Bucks County PA (18966) near Philadelphia. I have a bunch of shop equipment from my father’s trucking business that we are looking to part with.

    Question about classifieds

    Greetings. I’m fairly new here so please forgive my ignorance. Can I have more than 1 post in the classifieds, or do I have to list everything together? For example, I have a bunch of shop equipment (clutch and trans jacks, ac machine, etc) that I want to post so I was thinking I would keep that...
