I had considered posting this in the classified, but since I am looking to give this away free, I was not sure that would be the right place to post. If I am posting in the wrong spot, I am sure someone will let me know.. Anyway, I bought this paint shaker a while back, thinking that I could...

This 1961 KR-58A came home with me today, along with a few random old tools (that I haven't had time to go through, as I just dumped them in to a tote so that I could load the boxes by myself). These old boxes are great for small tool & part storage.

I have searched google and eBay, and have not been able to find anything like this. Does anyone have any idea what the original purpose of "gloves in a can" would have been? The gloves appear to be made of a thick, possibly heat resistant material..

I really try to do some research before posting the "what is this" but this one has my puzzled. It came from the garage of an old timer who did their own reloading, and key making. The only marking is "GERMANY" on the square steel rod that screws into the base. From it's weight (heavier than...

Today's flea market find was a Plomb 2629 single box end wrench. :thumbup:

I am in the process of re-purposing an old 5 drawer cash register, and I have run into a little difficulty. Each drawer has a 110 ac solenoid that releases the catch, thus letting the spring loaded drawer open. My intention is to have 5 momentary push button switches that can activate each...

Doesn't look like this one saw any use before it ended up at the garage sale..

I have purchased tons of old man toolboxes in the past couple of years, but have not yet seen one like this. When closed, the top is raised, kind of like a casket top. When opened, 2 removable trays are visible. When the 2 trays are removed, an additional tray resides underneath. The box was...

Can anyone tell me what this is:

I picked these up with a batch of old tools, and I am not quite sure what they are..

I have done the standard google and eBay searches, but havent been able to find out much about this type of flashlight. Anyone here ever seen one?

I was just looking at ebay, researching some old tools, including some farm tools. Usually, I am pretty good about figuring out the qualities that seperate a $10 tool from a $100 tool, but in this instance, I am hoping that someone here may be able to tell me what it is that I am missing...

Does anyone know where I would be able to obtain a few feet of 1/16" wire rope, and a ball end fitting? In fact, The other end of the wire rope takes a different style fitting (not pictured), so a source for other style fittings would be a big help...

I purchased the HF cabinet about 5 years ago, when I needed some storage for "clean" tools & supplies. The extra work surface has come in handy too, as long as I can keep the clutter from gathering up... As my need for storage never seems to catch up with my desire to straighten up and...

I cant bring home any more big stuff, otherwise I would be all over this: http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/tls/2241782941.html

Managed to pick up some vices and a wire caddy yesterday...

I ran across an unusual tool cabinet today that has a very similar appearance to the one in this pic, and I was thinking of going back tomorrow to purchase it. The one I found was about twice as wide, gray (original finish) in color, VERY good condition (unlike the one in the pic, which I just...

I have seen the wood handle with copper tip over the years, I feel like I should know what these are.. Anyway, what are these tools?

When did you outgrow your garage, and how did you deal with it? I have some varied interests, most of which involve working on things (cars, antiques, fixing up and re-selling old stuff) in my garage. I was just outside cleaning up the garage, and it has become pretty overwhelming. On top of...

A while back I purchased a toolbox at an estate sale, it looks to have been used by an aircraft mechanic / machinist. The box was full of tools and items that end up in a working box (parts, screw, etc) and there are a few items that I can't quite figure out. One reoccuring theme with some of...
