I received my screwdrivers, but I opted to pickup at the store, after ordering online. It took a few days, and I had to call them to ensure it was ready for pickup. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Hi: I'm looking for 3/8 in drive sockets in the following sizes: 6mm-9mm (standard depth) 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20mm, (deep) Preferably snap-on, but will consider others. Thank you,

Please pick me!

Still trying to figure out the photo upload. The cause is "undetermined". There was too much damage to figure out completely. Funny that someone else mentioned the battery charger...when the private fire investigator found out I had batteries for cordless equipment plugged in he got...

Hello to everyone. Awesome website, that I have gained a ton of knowledge from over the year or so I have been on. I just suffered a garage fire (detached from house) a couple of weeks ago. It was a 22x20; built of cinder block/brick and rafters for roof. It had a lean to/metal awning on...

Anyone interested in a Chas Parker 89 1/2 send me a PM. I have no affiliation with the seller, but have bought from him before. It looks big/rusty, but it reportedly works. Too big for me unless it's a collector's item.

Thank you for the replies.

Gents: I am considering buying the compressor listed. Photos below. I am new to this, but want to buy something that is quality and will work with air-tools. I am NOT a big time mechanic, I don't even own any air tools yet. I want to restore a pickup soon so it's in the works. I have...

Just swinging by to show a new acquisition. The previous ones I posted about were gone when I went by to look at them. This one is nicer...It appears to be a Desmond Simplex. Unsure of additional but will begin cleaning it up soon. It appears to function as designed and is straight. Any...

Okay, thank you for the replies. I will take a look at it soon and report back.

Hi Guys: Can anyone help me identify this vise? Thank you in advance.

I just picked up this ATHOL vise. I will post again when I get it cleaned up. I'm still working on my Parker 87 but should have completed pics of that soon. This one has obviously had a hard life, but functionally works well. Any idea when this was manufactured? Thanks for all the...

I think I just missed the deal of the century on a local classified. Check out the vise in this picture. $35 for the bench and vise. I'm new to the vise world, but it looks like a Wilton to me. If anyone here bought it, I was calling for the bench so if you don't want it...

I have a question for those who have refurbished vises with pipe jaws. Do you re-use the pins that you drove out (Chas Parker 87) to remove the pipe jaws or do you find something else, newer? Same question for the pin that holds the threaded collar into the main body. Thanks,

Thanks. I just bought this one. Earlier tonight I met a guy locally selling a 6 in CM, used, for $60. I passed on it because the switch was positional and he wouldn't come off of his price.

Drives: You are possibly correct on the model number. Being so dirty, its hard to see. I will probably not mess with the broken piece if I cannot find someone who has had success. I don't think it affects the performance much, especially for the small projects that I will have for it...

Added some pics after I cleaned with simple green and wire brush. Later I used a wire wheel with a drill to clean up further. Next is to dissemble and continue on. Thanks for all the info everyone! Lastly, finished pics. I wanted to change the vise jaws but they are too speedy for a vise like...

Thanks to you all for getting me interested in an old, quality vise. I can see my pocket book getting much lighter down the road! I found a Chas Parker #37 locally. I was stoked because it came with a heavy stand and the poster stated it worked great. Unfortunately I was so excited that I...

More photos and dimensions....The bottom beam of the truss is 2x4, spanning about 22 feet. They are spaced every 48 inches. Several have been notched out to accommodate the door opener as mentioned. I have begun to look online for 22 or 24 feet 2x4s, and although listed on Lowes and HD...

Hi Guys, the info on this forum is outstanding! This is my first build thread so please bear with me. It will be a slow one, as I am not very handy, and don’t want to spend a ton of money. Also, with the cold temps and potential snow, I will be slowed down. This is something that I will...
