I've been on a four-month quest to find a chuck screw for a Mac AD850 reversible half-inch air drill. This would be a reverse-thread, flat-head screw. I still need to put the fragments against a thread-pitch gauge to see what thread size it is. If the drill wasn't reversible, there'd be no...

Bought a Made-In-USA 2-ton floor jack model 1717, produced by OTC. I paid $433.88 plus tax in November of 2004. Still have the NAPA receipt. The jack was sold with a "Marathon Lifetime Warranty". I'm no longer a professional, so this jack was strictly "homeowner" duty from then until now...

I'm trying to find contact information for Ex-Cell Manufacturing Company of Decatur AR. I have a "2 Ton Engine Crane" model W1000. The hydraulic ram has become very good at pumping air into the cylinder. I think a simple O-ring on the pump plunger is at fault, but I can't find a suitable...

I've had a soft spot in my head for the Mac AW434 impact wrench, which went through several revisions before becoming the AWP434, which then went through a few more revisions. I'm trying to figure out who makes it for Mac, and if it's got an identical "brother" without the tool-truck price. As...

Thought I'd let you know about Power Tool Repair Ohio dot com. I have a Mac Tools AW160 3/8 drive air impact wrench. Worked splendidly for me for maybe twenty years. I bought it used from either the Mac or the Snap-On man; I don't know when it was originally sold. So one day, I hand it to a...

I have a hand-held Matco-branded OTC automotive oscilloscope (Matco MD4000F, same as OTC 3840F) coming in the next few days. These are similar to a Snap-On Vantage, having software support by vehicle model and year; with known-good waveforms to compare to. I get the sense that these are...

The previous "3/8 head in a 1/4 ratchet body" thread is getting long--near 400 posts as I type this. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=251165 Thought I'd start a similar thread for powered (air, electric) ratchets. Here's an ancient MAC AR2775 compact 3/8 air ratchet, which...

Trying to source the long, slotted "socket-and-stem". The slotted "socket" fits over the pin in the valve. It's attached to a long stem that is supported by the round cross-shaft, which in turn fits into the end of the U-joint. The slotted "socket-and-stem" is long gone. Once the linkage is...

I sent out all my torque wrenches for calibration. One of them was "condemned"; it won't pass the calibration standards, and the shop claims there are no parts available to bring it back to spec. I therefore have a spiffy Snap-On torque wrench that I can't use as a torque wrench. What do I do...

We're having problems with a GFCI getting tripped. My wife's "food processor" trips a GFCI every time she uses it. Wifely's "food processor" is plugged directly into a GFCI that also protects other outlets on that circuit. And if THAT was the GFCI that was being tripped, I'd figure that the...

I have what amounts to a Coleman/Sanborn air compressor, using the two-stage SC-23 pump. The 75-psi safety "pop-off" valve on the intercooler (between the low-pressure exhaust valve and the high-pressure intake valve) releases when the tank is about 2/3 pressurized--maybe 125 psi. If I hold...

I visited the Titan II Missile Museum south of Tucson, Arizona a couple of weeks ago. Nicely recommended; it's small and it's focused, but where else can you visit a Titan's home? http://www.titanmissilemuseum.org/ Among the exhibits and displays--and aside from the semi-authentic Titan In...

Inspired, in part by wanting to add-on to my as-yet-unshipped SK DAY Epstein's order, I'm looking to pick up some metric crowfeet in addition to the metric sets I already ordered. SK is pretty good for including all of the sizes they manufacture in their sets. This has me wondering: Do you...

I worked for a company that bought cases of a green wax-type product; a lubricant for tapping and other metalworking. The stuff was called "Do-All Tool Saver". Came in a round cardboard tube kind of like a caulking tube; but of course it's way too thick to be used in a caulking gun. Anyone...
