My curiosity wants to know. Do these say where they were made?

In going through swap meets, there are plenty singletons of these listed brands. There are vendors at Spring and Fall Carlisle that have tubs of tools to root through if you are looking for these. Usually anywhere from $0.25 to $1.00 each, you can score a deal if you are collecting these names...

I've known them as all the above and also screw jacks. Could be a Badger jack, the emblem's wear doesn't leave a lot to work with. Regardless, a nice jack and a good find.

Looking good! I like those old Walker-Turners.

I was gifted a rail car mover last fall, complete with a knuckle-buster guard. It belonged to an older gentleman I know who said he was tired of tripping over it in his shop. New Badger #5 Advance Car Mover Appleton, Wisconsin.

Lot of truth to that.

Gibbs Oil and PB Blaster. I use them both for freeing rusted bolts/nuts and also for rust prevention on cleaned metal. Cleaners, lubricants, etc, are whatever I have on hand.

Cleaning cast iron pans using electrolysis. I've learned that 1 - patience is the key and 2 - for bigger pieces, my 5-gallon bucket is way too small.

Pig mats/booms. As mentioned, they are not cheap, but they do soak up oil. In a pinch, I've used cat litter.

I'm in this camp. ^^^

Craftsman toolbox with 1/2 and 3/8 drive ratchets and socket sets along with a set of Allen wrenches and ignition wrenches. The girl I was dating Christmas of 1981 gave me the set, I still use it today.

If your stepdaughter continues along the path of crummy choices, you may also want to consider investing in a very low-buck set of "loaners". Your experience shows Snap Ons do have the ability to grow legs and run away from home.

I use LED in both of mine with no issues. Amarr openers installed in 1993. Can anyone go deeper into what the interference issues with the openers might be?

I watched my dad for years use a drop or two of 30 weight motor oil on battery terminals. I do it as well.

My grandfather had a poster in his shop. It asked "Which dog would you rather follow?" It showed a a hunter following a bird dog and a blind person with their guide dog. Good enough argument for safety glasses for me.

I remember when the local NAPA would custom make hose by size and by the foot. The crimping tool they used was second to none - and it worked. If I had access to a hose shop, that's the way I would go.
