DOUGLAS model 90 Vintange Hacksaw
* not sure which Douglas this is. I have to assume it's the Douglas in Charlotte, North Carolina that was acquired by Radiator Specialty Company (now RSC Solutions)
Douglas / Douglas Co., 1416 E. Morehead, Charlotte NC / incorporated 1981, defunct (?) / level, hatchet /
Douglas / (Douglas Tool see Radiator Specialty Co.) /

.... in any case, it is one very cool hacksaw. Johnny Winter might have said it was the Gibson Firebird of all hacksaws...

And... it's Vintange

(* I think that means it's from Italy *)
;)
very used and beat up. still has original paint on it.

German made, keyless, self tightening metabo chuck; 3/8-24 thread 3/8 capacity. Fits hand drills but I'll be using mine on drill press and/or lathe. Put in your watchlist and seller should drop it to 17$/per:

Thanks for the heads up! I just got mine last week, and it seems really nicely made!
Don't think it will fit on my Hitachi drill though. Maybe some of these cordless drills, the chucks don't come off.
Probably get a 3/8" X 24 TPI #2 MT and use it on my wood lathe though!

which method did you try? Some hand drills will have a reverse screw at the chuck and not just be threaded. Like this:


FWIW: It's a bit small but would work nicely on 12v drills but sometimes using 1/2" bits comes handy which this won't take.

I'm going to use it on my wood lathe with this import 3/8" X 24 adaptor.
Thanks, I'll check the video, maybe I can order another one!

Suggest anyone else who ordered the Felo Torx screwdrivers from eio-electronicinventoryonline also submit complaint to eBay to get rid of this fraud. Going by the "negative feedback" comments for this seller this seems to be a recurrent problem.
Glad it was only a lousy five bucks - cheap lesson learned: don't deal with this loser. Hopefully should receive refund on item- two weeks since order was placed and still no shipping acknowledgement.

================================================

May-21-16 14:25 PDT

Hi
Here's what just happened:

We're sorry to hear that you haven't received "Felo 0715753165 Ergonic Torx Screwdrivers, Set of 6". You've opened a request, and we've notified the seller that you've requested a refund for the item.

Here's what you need to do next:

Please allow a few days for the seller to respond to your request in the eBay Resolution Center.

If the seller doesn't respond or if you aren't satisfied with the seller's response to your request by May 27, 2016, please let us know. On that date, you can escalate your request to eBay Customer Support. A customer support agent will then review your request and get back to you with a decision within 48 hours.

What you should know:

If we don't hear from you by Jun 20, 2016, we'll assume that things have been resolved, and your request will be closed. Note that once a request is closed, you won't be eligible for a refund through the eBay Money Back Guarantee for the item.

Felo 0715753165 Ergonic Torx Screwdrivers, Set of 6 Felo 0715753165 Ergonic Torx Screwdrivers, Set of 6

Thanks for letting us know about this member: eio-electronicinventoryonline. We are currently reviewing the details of your report, and will take the appropriate action based on the outcome of the investigation.

Privacy is important to us, so we're not able to share the details of the actions we take. You may not immediately notice or be able to see these actions, but they can include removing a listing, sending the member a warning, limiting buying and selling privileges, or even suspending the account.

Thanks again for taking the time to bring this to our attention and helping us keep eBay a safe place to buy and sell.

Regards,
Joefet T.
eBay

================================================

Will send letter regarding Ebay "SOLD" listings showing asking price on "best offer" items (as opposed to "Best Offer Accepted") to eBay headquarters via snail-mail, as there is no way to contact their corporate offices via email.

Ebay Inc.
2065 Hamilton Ave.
San Jose, Ca. 95125

cc will be sent to Federal Trade Commission as well regarding deceptive business practice of showing asking price instead of actual selling price.

=================================================

You mean you actually received the 6-piece set for $5.29? Seriously?
Seller responded to my first message with a flat-out lie (telling me "the package had been tendered to the carrier), but has failed to respond to subsequent messages. USPS still shows the item has never been shipped: ordered 05/05, today is 05/21.
Seller's "negative feedback" indicates this is a recurrent issue, not an isolated case.
Quoting old messages but...
Just a heads up for all to be careful ordering from Eio.
I have purchased from them in the past with no issue, but recently had a bad experience similar to four.cycles posts above. Item never shipped, but they took my money after “creating a shipping label.”
After waiting more than patiently, I sent two messages, and they did respond, but lied both times. When I asked for a refund, they put the reason for cancellation as “Buyer asked to cancel”, which basically looks good on them and bad on the buyer. I will no longer buy from them and wish I had read the negative feedback, because I ended up in the same boat.

Don was kind enough to post this in another thread... Apparently this is my "Ebay store":
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?ite...=p4429486.m3561.l170197&_ssn=kiski.us.yj4babu

Please bear in mind that my ebay prices include the 13.5% fee that ebay is skimming off the top, and a little extra for the aggravation of having to deal with those sonsofbitches. If you see something that looks to be of interest - get ahold of me. I'm pretty easy to deal with.
BK

probably tackle the Craftsman next since Christmas is coming up... maybe wishful thinking on my part but I really need my living room back.

* and Vanessa helped me on the phone just now and walked me through the "delete listing" process. ;)

I had to do a double-take there when I looked closer at the promotional photo on one of those....

* I just tried ordering a set from the first four I listed above, but none of them ship to a PO box, so I guess I just saved $35 bucks. C'est la vie!

Always fascinated by this stuff. This seems to be a premium brand. I went to Amazon and counted 6 brands with the same set. One had a 55 piece set, with one of the 5 extras being a ratchet. I’m thinking the marginal cost of goods sold must be $10 or less. Over 200 sets sold last month alone. They have a much bigger cheaper chrome set that sold over 300 sets in the last month. Flying out the door!

NEW BRITAIN MACHINE CO NB50 3/8" drive ratchet
used
$29.99 incl. shipping "buy now"


and see the post just below

Private Lugnutz said:
The NB50 ratchet appears in New Britain catalog No. 58M. The copy I have is not dated. It was dated 1953 in the TA library and 1952 in the AA library. It does not appear in the NONE BETTER catalog No. A48, which TA and AA both dated to 1948. So it would seem to have been introduced sometime between 1948 and 1952 or 1953. A patent would help, but DATAMP doesn't list anything like that ratchet in that timeframe for NB or Blackhawk. That's all I got.

I have not gotten any feedback from my buddy on the 50-piece 1/4" drive SAE and METRIC Impact Socket Set that I had drop-shipped to his house last week for $36. and change.
He said he did receive a package of "some kind of Chinese **** and some fluorescent felt markers," but he didn't open up the package because he thought it was some sort of shipping error. (quote verbatim)
I am just hoping he remembers his safety goggles if and when he does get brave enough to try them out.
I just noticed this same company is marketing a 76-piece 1/4" drive SAE/Metric TOOL SET for $28.54 including shipping (ONE LEFT.) YMMV.



(* I have no idea what the felt markers are about.)

you would have skimmed right over this one if I had headed it with "Patriot", wouldn't you?

you gotta look at the pictures to make sense of this one.

WALDEN 1/4" drive set in a BLUE BOX
used and beat up and too much money. spinner was mangled with Vise-Grips.
now... if it had a black and yellow spinner, and a black six-inch extension, it would be worth it.
as it is .... not so much.

BUT IT'S BLUE! so you guys take a close look because I think that's the original color and since this "blue" question came up that is third blue Walden box I've seen within the last 30 days.
.... just sayin'


==

okay, back to business:

30 piece brand-I-never-heard-of set of Metric AND SAE hex keys in a platic snap-close box.
(I bought one of these in "TEKTON" and paid about $30 bucks for it and gave ALL my loose hex keys to a couple guys here.)
used (yeah, right... take a look)
$9.99 + $12.90 shipping OBO "buy now"
