Good eye! Now that I knew what to search for on ebay, most of the hammers with similar shape are offered by a seller in Bulgaria!I'm thinking it's got an EU pedigree?
Thanks for telling me what it is, I didn't know.Nice JR30 Ratchet find.

)Wow. I haven't really been paying attention to the polls until now.Daily service announcement


You ****! Looks like a nice unit.2021 coming to an end, and I almost got through the whole year with no good finds. Until yesterday...
We're upgrading the cleanroom-quality compressed air system at work (going with a much larger unit due to demand). Two of these were headed to the dumpster (I kept the one with the newer compressor head and fewest hours)...
Compressor is currently wired for 480 volts, but can be configured to run on 208. I have all of the manuals and diagrams.
5hp oil-less scroll pump
15.3cfm @ 100 psi
Tank is 60 gallons, epoxy-lined.
The whole setup was new in 2015.
Not sure if I'll keep the desiccant air dryer, but that's probably only about a year old.
This will probably live in the garage (unheated, no AC), so it won't have the "cushy" indoor treatment anymore, but it'll also rarely get used. Main use will be to blow out the lawn irrigation system each year.
The compressor is stupid-loud, but belt-driven. As I see it, I have several options for a path forward:
Replace the motor with a 120 volt unit, or even a gas engine.
Replace the entire head with a quieter one.
Mount the whole thing on a trailer.
Maybe put it in the basement, and run a pipe out to the garage?
But, letting this go to the recyclers was DEFINITELY NOT going to happen, LOL...
And, free is my favorite price, even if this will cost me a little to make it useful at home!

Wow. I haven't really been paying attention to the polls until now.
Looks like Old Radar is in position to potentially pull off an unprecedented feat in the long, storied annals of Garage Sale thread end of year voting: The Twofer!
He has 2022 Host in the bag. And right now he is leading, by one vote, in the 2021 PotY race! New Host has tended to be a "consolation punishment", but it looks like he has a legit shot at the ViseHead Safety Helmet, which might come in handy as he's whipping us troublemakers into shape next year.

I'm changing my vote to you to add to your momentum.So let's talk about this.
First, is it too early to start whining about a recount and voter fraud?
Secondly, with barely a week to go in the voting, only 37 and 34 members, respectively, have bothered to enter a few clicks to cast a vote for Host & PotY. I figure with a concerted effort we could mount a flurry of ballot box stuffing and either RTM or txlonghorn could pull off a come-from-behind win!
Believe it or not, that's actually pretty good! Might be a new voter turnout record. And I'm being dead serious. The thread has always been very active, moves fast, and always draws a hundred or more participants. But the overwhelming majority of those have always had less than 20 posts. Maybe only 20 guys with 50 or more posts. And maybe 12 "regulars" with 100 or more posts. We've had 20 total votes pick a new host before. It doesn't feel that way, but there really aren't too many guys on here every day and they probably all voted. I don't get it either. It's easy and all in good fun. But we've never had big poll numbers.only 37 and 34 members, respectively, have bothered to enter a few clicks to cast a vote










I thought that we would be shut out this weekend with so few likely sales on Craigslist and Esratesales.org. A local sale popped up that Google maps said was 4 minutes away so we checked it out. Prices were slightly high but travel costs were minimal.
I spent more in fuel than on what I got..WOW!!! MikeinRI in for the kill at the end!
Great score MikeinRI!
You ****! Looks like a nice unit.
Suckage confirmed! Dang, if you don't invest in a few air tools, your missing out!
Mike Monumental suckage there!!! Congrats!
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.Believe it or not, that's actually pretty good! Might be a new voter turnout record. And I'm being dead serious.








Now if I can just get the box cleaned up without ruining all the adhesive on the label...it's already pulling up a bit.That Indestro box does have a great label, and estate auctions are perfectly good here.






If RTM is gonna do it so am I!I'm changing my vote to you to add to your momentum.








Thanks, that is indeed helpful! Of course I don't have any of the pieces that go in the box so it's yet another project...not that I am complaining!Saukit, you might find this interesting:

You ****! I probably would have paid $71 just for the circle u set! Nice pickupHow I spent $71 this morning…
Today marks the last day Jake’s Flea Market is open till April, so MrsLS & I headed down Rt100, arriving around 7am. Overnight rain, near-freezing temps and a 17mph wind seemed to have convinced many to stay home, but a few reliables were out in the field, and my main objective was a shed where I had spotted the heritage box and circle-U 1/2dr set a week ago.
My personal favorite is the zipbag of steel corner reinforcements. I have paid 4/$1 for these on occasion, but this bag of dozens - none rusty - was $1 total!
Back home, I crossed the street where a neighbor was running a porch sale and picked up a handful of mostly parts saws and other smalls.
