Not my ad but a decent looking jack for the price. I bought some other stuff from the guy but I already have a blackhawk S-4 so I passed on this one. It pumped up but felt like it might be low on fluid. Its located near Spartanburg SC so if anybody local is interested check it out. Link...

Should metal building insulation be ran up and over the ridge in a pole barn or does the ridge need to be vented? What I have is a 24'x36' pole barn with metal screwed directly to the wood purlins. This weekend I will start taking off the old roof and replacing with new metal and adding 3"...

I have a set of trim rings for a factory GM SS wheel (69 Camaro, chevelle, Nova wheels) which are very low mile wheels with good rings and caps except a few dings on the outer face of the trim ring. I have no problem removing dings from stainless trim that I have access to the backside...

I wanted to take a few minutes to put a thread on here to thank Robert for taking the time to do his how to sheet metal thread as well as his personal help with suggestions and comments on my project. I have respectable amateur fab/welder/sheet metal skills for someone that works at a desk all...

Was at a auction at the local career center and noticed some old pexto sheet metal rotary forming tools stacked in the corner covered by some old duct insulation. The entire contents of the building had been bought by a scrapper and he was starting to load everything in the truck. Struck a...

Anyone have any guess as to the manufacturer of this vice?

5 piece set of snap on flare nut wrenches 1/4"-13/16" plus a spare metric for $70? Condition is good with no engravings. Should I go for it or will I have any regrets?

Going to buy either straight or offset flare nut wrench sets pretty soon and need advice on which to go with. I can only justify one set so should I go with 15 degree offset or straight. These will be used for general vehicle maintenance on mostly vintage cars.

What are the cheapest places to order SK tools online?

I am looking to pick up a good set of standard flare nut wrenches. These will mostly be used for older domestic cars. I will eventually get a metric set for modern vehicles as well. Are the smaller 1/4" & 5/16" used often or will the 3/8" and up wrenches be sufficient? Thanks

Simple question, does snap on replace damaged/worn chisels and punches? Thanks in advance for any input.

Spent half my Saturday enjoying myself at a nice little estate auction that had some decent tools. I took my time going through everything beforehand and picked 4 lots that I was interested in. I had to wait through 2 hours of furniture before they got to the tools but It was worth it. I...

I am looking for several older SK deep well sockets. I need the older style with the knurling around the bottom in 1/2" drive. They look like the sockets in the bottom left in the attached picture. The sizes needed are 1-1/16", 13/16", 3/4" and anything 5/8" and smaller. Let me know if...

Anyone have any suggestions on a good place to find replacement struts for holding open a tool box lid. I only have one picture at work that even comes close to showing them. This is the top of one. Any suggestions on where to start my search?

I am looking at buying a SK toolbox and curious if anyone has one or can vouch for their quality. The box is 41.5" wide and 24" deep. So far I have only seen the top and it is in pretty nice shape. Its red with the stainless drawer pulls and the top box has wide drawers on the left with a...

I have an old blackhawk S-4 floorjack that I plan to redo this spring. When I first purchased the jack it had been sitting in an old shop with no roof in the elements for the past few years. After cleaning it up somewhat the jack seems to be functioning correctly. I lifted my blazer and it...

Anybody else on here from upstate SC? Noticed a few guys from greenville but not many. Just curious how many locals have the same garage journal addition that I do!

I ran across what appears to be an old manual style shop press for sale but can find any information on it. The name plate on it listed it at 28 tons and if I am not mistaking the manufacturer was Wright. The only other thing written on it was "Hi Speed" on the press mechanism. The frame...

I bought some stuff from this old shop last weekend so I decided to go back by on Saturday morning to see if there was anything left. Ended up with a pretty nice box full of vintage made in usa tools and a cool grinder and stand. Cant remember the make of the grinder but it is really big to...

Woke up Saturday morning and did my usual check of the tool section for craigslist and see a shop is closing not far from home. So I get there and I am the second person to show up. When I pull up it is an old block shop that looks to be from the 40's. The place is really run down and...
