Found this Grizzly G4000 9x19 lathe on craigslist for $250. Included 3 and 4 jaw chucks, live and dead centers and the stand. The tailstock isn't in the picture and neither is the crossslide leadscrew since it's bent and needs replacement. I replied to the ad about 15 minutes after it was posted. When I got there the guy said someone called right after me. Lucky timing

Wow great find!

Ok, I have to ask what is a plunger can?

They're used for dispensing small amounts of solvent onto a rag usually.

Opinions on those cable pliers? I need to get a set and have been thinking of the Mayhew.

You ****! That is a steal.

Those diamond tipped screwdrivers really do work well. Had to replace a blade in my miter saw. Reg screw driver wouldn't break the screws to the guarding. Pulled out the diamond tipped one (fi set time using) and it broke free instantly

Small delivery from HJE:

 

[Mastermind]

Finally got a boot for my little wee impact gun

Need two! Got a part number on that? I guess it won't work on the screw gun with the clutch. Maybe just one.

not sure if it'll fit the screw gun or not. I think the vents and what not are in different places plus I think the body is shorter on the screw gun.

I finally bought a "real" hand punch - a Roper/Whitney No. 5.

Where do you guys send them in to be Calibrated? I'm sure a Google search would give me many results. Just want so see who you guys have had good luck with.

These folks right here:

http://anglerepair.com/

Decent rates on calibrations, certifications, and repairs.

They handled two of my Snap On torque-wrenches last year.

I've actually got a CDI 1/4" and a Wright 3/8" up there as we speak. Should have them back late this week or early next week.

It looks like the color has to do with the strength of the material they're made of. Many options available on their website.

Hope yours holds up better than mine did, charging port broke after a week, that was 4 monts ago. Still waiting on him getting more back in stock to swap it out.

Time to call Stanley Steemer!

 

[Strouty]

So I just got my metric 12 point Snap On set in and it does not have 11 mm in the mid length, they don't even make one???? They just left a blank space screaming at my OCD!

No kidding. Got new carpet a year and a half ago and between 2 kids and 3 dogs it looks 20 years old.

Weird they left the 11mm out. It's a useful size. 7/16 equivalent. More useful vs 9 & 12mm!

 

[Pipe]

Strouty i'll check my semi deep metric set in the AM but I believe there's an 11mm. Heck I used an 11 a few hours ago on a ujoint cap so you know you need it!

No 12 point 11mm or 19mm on the Snappy site, that's bizarre. Looks like they used to make them though. FMS11 would be the 11mm.

Have you had a chance to use it? Looked interesting to me, but I'll admit that I was a bit skeptical, the video I first saw it in sounded a lot like an infomercial

 

[rice rocket]

I've considered them in the past, but it feels so "as seen on TV", it turns me off to it.

 

[Sanny81]

I got the Vampliers as an Xmas gift. I've only used them twice since then but I have to say they worked extremely well.

I bought and am waiting for the Merry version which are forged offset so they work flush from the side. The idea is sound, I use my Knipex and Snap-On slip joints to do the same thing.

These are the best out-in-the-open secret on Garage Journal.



They are great for grabbing stuff head-on.

Yup!! My Matco driver gave these to me because I had told him about super scrapers and now he can't keep up with orders on them.

If you guys think the "vampliers" are too infomercially, just get the true version made by engineer, they are awesome and make many styles and sizes. I have several pairs and they all work great!

Crazy about the 11mm. I typed FMS11 into the search on the Snap-On site, it came up and allows me to put it into the cart. I would give them (Snap-On CS) a call and get one ordered. Even my OCD is going nuts for you!

 

[Rossco]

The missing ^^^ sockets would only grind me IF the space on the tray was there!

I think my comment came across as a lot more negative than it sounded in my head, I am genuinely curious about them, it was just the ad I saw was pretty corny, wish I could find it,but that was a while back.
