    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I picked up a new tool box that was full of stuff so I took everything out of the drawers and sorted through them. Then I stripped my new to me old bicycle down to the frame to clean and inspect.

    Metal Cabinets vintage or homemade and no name toolboxes. got any to show please do

    I got this last night after going to look at a Kennedy 273/266. It was wedged in the back corner of a small storage space and is HEAVY! It looks to be homemade or maybe a project for a welding class. The drawers cannot come out as there are two bars welded to the bottoms of each drawer as stops...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Pulld a bunch of bike parts boxes from the garage attic and sorted thru them. Tinkered with my new touring bike I got last night, organized bike parts and put all of my sewing stuff into a new tool box, one I was going to sell.

    Show Your Vintage Knife

    I found this meat clever covered in dirt and red overspray in a tool box I got. The handle was split so I am making a new one from black walnut. This knife was imported by ROMO of New York City around 1917-1920. I am ordering new loveless bolts today and will post the finished knife when I'm done.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Today I went out to the garage to take pictures of things I wanted to sell on marketplace. I took the pics and then realized I needed to keep these things. Then I spent some time putting those things to good use. My husband wanted me to write down what is in every drawer of every tool box in...

    64. For now just a turbo 350, most likely do a 4/5 speed down the road. The 750 is a 3 barrel, so it's perfect with the motor mods.

    This is an old pic but still basically looks the same, the interior has bucket fronts and is now light blue. We are working on the paint/body and interior right now. It will go back to the original color, white. It has a very hopped up inline 250 in it with a holley 750 4 barrel that we modified...

    I seem to have a theme going on here... I have never had this kind of good luck but this year has been the year of "let's give Brenda some neat stuff, for free". Warning: very long, could be very boring! A friend from my husbands work (different from the Park Tool guy) was getting kicked out of...

    Need help with B-day present, impact wrench/driver???

    Thank you all so much for taking the time to answer my questions and give me your advice and first hand experience. My husband was beyond thrilled. I went to HD today and got to touch all of the brands and came away just loving the red ones, but not counting out the Dewalts. My intention was to...

    Need help with B-day present, impact wrench/driver???

    I clicked on the link and it said $299, when I changed it to a location near me, it is $249. That seems pretty good, especially if I wanted it now and not wait for black Friday sales. He will taking 10 days off starting tomorrow and wants to do a bunch of stuff to our classic cars. Brakes and...

    Need help with B-day present, impact wrench/driver???

    This is the one I am looking for after all the advice, I am going to go touch them today at the local store just to make sure. Those Nepros tools are very nice , but he needs more tools like he needs a hole in the head! He has 7 complete roll cabs/mids/tops full of tools! But surprisingly...

    Need help with B-day present, impact wrench/driver???

    ****, didn't think about that part! Glad you said something. His SAE set is 1/2in and his metric set is 3/8in. WHY DOES HE DO THIS??? Cuz he knows now I will have to buy him both! And do you HAVE to use the impact sockets? He has soooooooo many regular ones! That is AWESOME! He will have this...

    Need help with B-day present, impact wrench/driver???

    This is why I am looking at this stuff, he needs an upgrade! I am looking at the Ridgid and Milwaukee online right now. I will go to HD tomorrow and see them in person to get a feel for the sizes. I liked the red one until I saw the orange one, orange is my fav color, and it has a lifetime...

    Need help with B-day present, impact wrench/driver???

    This is helpful, I want an impact wrench, not a driver. Does size work the same way as with drills? 3/8 or 1/2 inch? If so, I think the 3/8 would be more handy, he has the air impact wrenches, 1/2in, for the big stuff. I think he would get more use out of the smaller one. I like that little red...

    Need help with B-day present, impact wrench/driver???

    Sort of, we have some older Makita drills and saws, most were hand me downs but they still function. One uses a 12v Ni-NH, the others use a 9.6v Ni-MH. We don't have a favorite brand and I doubt we have batteries that will be compatible with the newer stuff, I just want something of quality. He...

    Need help with B-day present, impact wrench/driver???

    I could really your help fellow tool lovers, this is outta my league of expertise. My husband will be 50 in a few weeks and he either has (just about) everything or the things he wants (which is everything) is unobtainable. We have a decent little home shop where he wrenches on classic cars...
