Just realized that is the 12ga version. Very Nice!

I had an older model 16 and commented on RTM's linked thread. I don't know the original spec oil from the manufacturer. Straight 30wt was super common as a general purpose oil back then and given that these were industrial level tools, your oil choice should be fine too. Likely that most in...

Wow, that one is a first for me. I used to subcontract making the airbrush bodies for Badger Air brush. Made 10's of thousands of them for the shop next door that did the secondary finishing work for Badger. Nothing modern looks anything like that one! Pretty cool stuff there.

Bargain! Nicely done

A pair of long scissors, MW Co. Lakeside. Not the best quality I have seen, but a decent long set. Fairly uncommon find for me.

Actually, seeing that catalog listing now, I am not sure? I always used that style with Leather Burr Rivets for driving the washer on the stud and then doming the stud nub after trimming. I didn't even realize there was a larger selection of them. I may need to research this a bit more.

Very nice. A burr rivet set, don't see those often in any brand. Nice find.

I think that as stated up earlier, the reason for initial thread failure is usually more than just a tension failure pulling out the threads. That face to face sliding action of the fastener thread to the threaded hole also has a galling and shearing action that helps cause the original...

I would take a look at the impeller/auger belt and tensioner. You might be getting some slip that is preventing the auger from feeding the impeller with enough snow. Granted, they are geared together, but I've certainly had issues with plugging and poor performance from belt slip. Second...

We use those on automated assembly and inspection equipment at work. They are very nice to use and very compact. The center foot pad is a high durometer rubber, so it has a little give to it. When our machines are running, you can feel a little movement as slides on the machine shuttle back...

Pro. I use non locking. My personal preference, but I understand others may prefer something else.

Congrats to the winners!

Greatly appreciate the opportunity to enter into the raffle. Thank you for making this available to us!

Interesting with the oversize. That is Seriously over sized at 1/32". I could see that if a nut was meant to be hot dip galvanized, perhaps.

The profile of that tap looks like a Nut Tap. Long tapered lead in for production tap threading of nuts. Very low torque thread cutting because of that long lead in taper. https://threadingtoolsguide.com/en/blog/short-wiki-about-the-nut-tap/ 1/32 might be the diameter change from full thread...

Yeah, that would be a very expensive lift to have installed in 2007 without having a real need/purpose for it. Your turn around routine reminds me of the aerobatics we used to do with the single post lifts and really tall screw jacks to get stuff out and around those arms and post that were...

One shop I worked for had one of those longitudinal adjustable two-post units. Very old design and good for solid front-and-rear axle vehicles. They are great for truck work where you would otherwise be stuck to jacks and stands. It was a very old shop that had been built out of an old...

The new ones are hermetically sealed so theoretically all leaks are contained. Last ones we had put in were high pressure hydraulic units too, not air/hydraulic anymore, even though they still basically looked like the old units. Oil Tank was substantially smaller than those old huge...

RoninB4 has covered it and I certainly agree with him. I would prefer the new Mitutoyo. Given a choice, I would go for a jeweled unit as it will hold up accurately for a longer period of time in an industrial environment before wear has a detrimental effect. For me, that is important. For...

You put the lift pads under a suitable section of the body (rocker seam usually) and leave the frame, drivetrain the wheels on the ground. Since the body is so light by itself, the rocker seam has no issue supporting the weight, unlike if it was lifting the entire truck/car. The lift posts are...
