    Calibration Routine for Craftsman Multimeter

    Anyone have a calibration routine for a Craftsman 982408 / 82408 multimeter (or similar)? I can't seem to discover the MFG. It has 3 calibration points, so far as I can tell. A blue-colored VR1 near the LCD, then a VR2 and 3 elsewhere on the board. I've had this thing since the early 1990s, or...

    Hitachi 12v Battery Rebuild

    Has anyone ever rebuilt one of those little 12v Hitachi Post Batteries (Lithium)? Two of mine died. Will the circuit board disable the battery if a cell is removed?

    Delta Contractor's Saw--Remove Arbor--Bad Bearings

    My Delta 10" Contractor's Saw (Model: 34-444 * Serial: 91K64857 * Ref: CS4L3) has bad bearings (sounds like). I read a few posts and watched a couple videos. Looks like I have enough savvy to remove the old bearings, but need to take it to a shop for pressing the new (unless it's okay to bang on...

    Salt Pits--Fill and Coat?

    I live in Minnesota. Need I say more? I have bad pitting in all four tracks of our 2-car garage. I do not need a fancy solution. I want to fill the pits and coat the floor with something that will repel the salt-attack. It would be nice if the coating is compatible with epoxy, should I decide to...

    Floor Dehumidifier Start/Stall

    I have a little floor dehumidifier. The compressor's gone to start/stall--fan runs fine. Compressor tries to start, quits. Thirty seconds later, tries again. Ad infinitum. Replaced start/run capacitor. No change. Seized compressor? M

    Hitachi 12v Lives, Dies, Lives, Dies

    Wierd. I have four Hitachi 12v BL1015 batteries for my little drill, and two chargers. I rotate them on the chargers weekly since I don't use the tool that often. I test them all in the drill once a week. Recently, an oddity. I remove battery from charger, slap it into drill. Nothing. Dead...

    Brass Spring for Starrett/Newton Combo Square

    I need a brass spring for my Newton #2 combination square, which appears to be a copy of the Starrett design. It's about 1/4" i.d., and (was) slightly longer. It broke. I sent Starrett an email for part PT01086 SPRING, #11 .257X.308X.563. Hopefully I am not unjustly prejudiced, but I have little...

    Heat Shrink That Hardens Permanently?

    I'm looking for something like heat shrink that will harden and not re-expand/shrink under stress. I'm actually trying to repair the barrel of a 4-way pen, which has cracked. Not exactly a high-priority in a garage I suppose, but I figured that you guys would have some ideas. Thx, M.

    Wilton Vise Mix-N-Match ( 9300N / 8300N ) ??

    I just bought a Wilton off Ebay. It's a beater, but I just need a vise right now--one that works and is not made of some offshore pot metal. I figured, based on the beating this one's taken, that I probably wouldn't be able to hurt it. And it does have the rotating base. Date code on the slide...

    Need Casting / Casing Nut for Rock Island #50 Vise

    Hi! I am looking for a casting nut (seen this spelled casing nut, too) for a Rock Island #50 vise. Mine broke the other day and appears to have been welded together in the past at some point. Broke at the weld. I have had that vise for some 15 years. It was given to me by a good friend and...
