    First Big Estate Sale Buy...

    Spent 600 today, walked out with some SO ratcheting wrenches and two snappy combo wrenches. Of course the wrenches were free with the purchase of allegedly 1000sqft of oak flooring, I guesstimated it at 700ish sqft. Anyone out there got a nifty way to estimate or a certain rule of thumb? One of...

    Most Common Compression Gauge Adaptors?

    Picked up a compression gauge off the classifieds here, but now Im in need of some adaptors. Looking at SO's website they offer a handful or various types. My question is which ones are the most common for passenger vehicles? Im guessing m14x1.25? Its just not quite as simple/annoying as my...

    Rats - Armstrong, Proto, Powr-Kraft and some Plvmb

    A few things for sale that I realized I won't use. All but the flex rat should fit in a flat rate box I think, so everything is plus $5 shipping. I will combine or meet locally and I'm open to offers if I'm way out of line. No owners marks on anything. The crappy dolly is not included ;) PM...

    Snap-On AFR20 Warrenty Question

    So I was talking with my father the other day and mentioned I had some SO stuff I need to warrenty, he asked if I could throw this wrench in with my stuff to get it fixed as well. It's an interesting piece, a 12pt 5/8" ratcheting boxend on a hardhandle (apparently for Low profile sockets)...

    What is it?

    Bought this at a garage sale this weekend thinking it was a center punch, no idea what it is upon closer inspection. It's ~1/2" round and ~6" long, the tip has wrench flats and appears to be a alloy (maybe beryllium? it looks the same color as some beryllium studs I have at work). There are no...

    Anyone got a pic of what these are supposed to look like? Picked one up today at a consignment place for $.50 but it doesnt have any handles, legs etc. and it looks like the tray is provisioned for these. Mac's website is useless in this regard. Thanks for any help!

    Where have all the shop presses gone?

    Where do shop presses go to die? I have been looking for months for a used USA shop press on CL/newspaper/various business or estate sales. Do they really live that long? I can honestly say I have not seen a american shop press (<25tons) in my quest. Am I missing companies in my searching, the...

Whats the going prices for the common stuff, i.e. sockets, extensions, rats, drivers etc. Pretty familiar with used SO and Cman pricing but this is a bit of an anommaly, Im leaning toward somewhere between the two for prices but Im not...

    Channel-Lock finish Changing?

    So after reading the oil filter tool thread I decided I liked the Channellock pliers shown, Id noticed some at HD A while back and I had some gift cards burning a hole so I went and got a set. I was a little dissappointed by how rough the forging looks, lots of pock marks on the sides finish...

    What is it, SO VT-1?

    Saw this tool at a estate sale yesterday, model number VT-1. It was a black hard handle with a ~12" chrome flat piece sticking out of it, the chrome piece had notches in it running the length. I cant find the tool on the SO website, and Im reasonably certain it was missing at least one...

    Opinion on Damaged SO f71A

    So I was at a garage sale this weekend where the seller had a f71A 3/8 ratchet for sale, price was right at $10. However, it was locked up and looked like someone had put a huge cheater on it at some point and bent the handle maybe 30* Is this worth pursuing further? I know I could rebuild...

    Looking for a small (max 4") adjustable to keep in my work bag for removing instrumentation etc. Ive used the Blue Point GAJ4A and its a nice tool but Im not a fan of the industrial finish in this application as I'll lose it either on a shop floor or in my bag. I had a cheapo from HD/lowes...

    Sofamor-Danek Torque Wrench

    So I found this bending beam torque wrench in the bottom of the carry box for a portable OxyA rig I got at the pawn. It looks like its nice quality, but I cant find anything about the manufacturer except that its a division of meditronic? Its a 0-180 in-lbs in 3/8 drive, nice rubber handle...

    Older Craftsman 25gal twin Tear Down and Rebuild

    Decided to tear into my compressor I brought up Here Disassembly went smoothly, no bolts that really posed any issues. Currently have it tore down to the bare head. The rods seem nice and tight, a bit of axial play but Im guessing its normal based on the lack of witness marks on the crank...
