Funny story, a few short years ago I picked up a pair of jumper cables that would jump the battle star Galactica death star spaceship, well my son calls me to jump his car and no luck, I guess there is a first for everything; so, my son call triple A and the guy shows up with a small handheld...

Oh, Hxll yes, every fxxking day, but I'll let you in on a little secret, my problem is because I have not one but hundreds of every old vintage tool, it is just about impossible to use everyone in my lifetime. Yes, I am a vintage tool hoarder I am in a 10-step program just like AA. I had to...

OP that what you are talking about bent handle with wooden grips?

I think I found it. https://archive.org/details/HDSmithPerfectHandleTools1914

Bent handle check. Wooden handle not so. This something you are talking about or am I 100% off track??? https://archive.org/details/BemisAndCallHdwToolCo1907

Lowes is a funny creature, I never get smart out of their return policy, I think it's the lack employee pay, or training, or lack of empathy or just incompetence??? As an old geezer I find if I locate the same tool or near as the same tool and bring it to the return desk along with the broken...

I know this is a two-year-old post, but every time I stop in for a look see, I have never seen any tools for sale. On my last visit the nice saleswomen, told me any tools get hauled away for some kind of auction site? I don't know about that but again I have never found any tools. It's sort of...

Yes, indeed for the home small shop a Foredom will fit your bill for small stuff. https://www.foredom.net/product-category/flex-shaft-tools/ On the other hand like some other GJ mentioned already ,you would need a larger set up to tackle heavy duty bolts.

Funny story, that I overheard came from a car dealership, the head honcho snorted and said I would never hire any mechanic that did not have a complete snap-on toolbox and it better be filled with all snap-on tools. I guess that was his "Standard" for hiring all new mechanics. Take it for what...

Lol,I had a cheap pair of ratchet straps and one time I had to transport 10foot long porch columns several miles across town on top of my old truck; that I drove all those many years ago. Turns out I must have not known my own strength as I had literally crushed those very expensive columns with...

I would hope it all goes to a good tool museum, not some individual that would not show off the collection. Best of luck in your search for a good home. Woody

You got a keeper, good job and great score.:)(y)(y)

I believe the part numbers were the same as other branded craftsman series, and they were also stamped on the side of the sockets with the word Taiwan. Interesting what time can do within the decades, when Stanley tried it in the 1980's, the public went ape shxt, and craftsman had to back away...

I would go freaking ape ****, and I would drool all over, but alas my wife would kill me, just kill me if I went on that trip. It kills me not to go. But a happy wife is a happy life or something like that. Sigh and only 2 hours away from my home in central "Ahia" oh man when you guys go, please...

Every year Home Depot has their annual Dec. X-mas sale, and I pick up a few of their husky tools on sale. I picked up a few of their pry bar sets and two sets of their hex key handle sets in both metric and sae. nothing special they work ok and get the job done, as a matter of fact for all the...

Interesting I tried searching and did not find that posting, darn getting to slow on the GJ.

Not sure if this topic has come up yet on the GJ, but I thought some of you might want to pick up a few of them before they all get shipped overseas...

A strange story and one that I never understood, back 100 years or so, well it feels like it, I would buy a used machine and then give the folks at HTC a call at their factory and give them my machine dimensions and they would sell me one of their mobile bases for just that machine in question...
