    Matco triple bay. Bought it!

    Looking for some help with Matco box slides. This appears to be the spot. Anyone familiar with these? I think they sit inside the rail for the slides to glide over. One on top and one on bottom. Not sure cause they were laying in the box and the slides were broken when I took the drawer out.

    Vintage RIDGID Pipe Wrenches

    Ridge tool moved to Elyria from North Ridgeville in 1943. I grew up in North Ridgeville. I have read they made pipe wrenches marked “Ridgeville” before moving to Elyria. Anyone got one marked like that from before 1943? If so I would like to see it. Never seen one

I put in a form about a week ago for an older cracked socket. They said they will send me a replacement...

    Best way to refinish a this pull handle.

    HVAC venting

    Just moved my daughter into a high rise condo downtown. Never lived in something like that. The HVAC is in a large closet. But there are no vents into the closet which to me is crazy. Shouldn’t there be some vents? Any help is much appreciated.
