I don't see myself using them alot hence looking at cheap options. Odly Icon and tekton are about as cheap as anything for a complete set.
I like the looks of the Icon sets but the Tekton set includes 6,7,8,9 over the Icon (sae only adds 9/32). For sae and metric With a Ernst modular wrench holder is $80 to...

I've had this old "Sears Service" box for a long time. I don't remember where I got it, probably a yard sale or flea market. Anyway, I have never seen another like it. Anybody know what it is?

Just bored this morning, thought I'd throw this old box up and see what y'all think...

I'm looking for information on an Emglo R5B-80 compressor. I have used the search function on here and have found nothing. I have Google searched and info is almost nill.
The compressor is a 5hp, three phase electric motor with an 80 gallon tank compressor. Are these pumps any good? I will be changing the three phase out for a single phase 7.5 electric motor I have on hand. Any info would be greatly appreciated ..read more

Brand new pliers, aquired through the Snap-on website. Gonna go out on a limb and say this isn't the way it's supposed to be? On the widest setting, the tips seem to align. Is this normal for these pliers? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question ..read more

Is the only difference here the length of the wrench? If so - which one do you prefer and why?
