Hey to any and all machinists on the board here, I am trying to sort out what are all these, including bits and cutters and other implements that appear to be used in a mill, lathe, CNC? I don't know, so would be great if someone can chime in on where to start will all of this, the pictures...

I picked up these tools for free, I know what the snips are, just curious what the one on the left and the one on the right might be used on? One of my friends thought the one on the right is for a tractor. Anyone know?

I think I got my moneys worth out of this wire wheel!! Its been on my bench grinder since I started my restoration in 2011, and I used it on some other projects, but it really started sheading wires, so I went and got a new one. Amazing, I didn't realized how much it was worn!

I don't think a lot of people still use hand brace drills anymore, but I have always liked them, and my dad used to use one back in the day, so when I saw this Stanley one for only $2 at the flea market, I picked it up. Only issue was the blue paint on the wood handles was mostly worn off, so I...

Didn't find any mopar parts this weekend but picked up these at the Goodguys car show swap meet, $10 each, both work, still in the box with manuals and both in excellent condition.

Found this Monkey Wards PowrKraft 48 drawer storage bin at Goodwill for $6.50. No missing drawers or broken ones, steel cabinet, and wide drawers with dividers, will need to make some labels, but at least now I have one for all the hardware scattered around the house that is for other than...

Found this Hoppy B4A headlight aiming tool at a local pawn shop, according to the owner, its been in their hands since 2013 when someone pawned it, never paid the bill, so they put it up for sale in 2014, but nobody bought it, so I got it at $30!!!! Its complete, even has instruction booklet...

I couldn't pass up this timing light, it was only $5 at a local flea market. Its newer than the all metal case version I still use from the 80's, but I thought what the heck, it uses the same plugin cables as mine so I bought it, and it works great. Now I have a spare!

A can koozie, and paint can lid, and some tire gauges. What to do? Works great for pens and pencils also!

So boredom or curiosity or what ever you want to call it strikes again and I wanted to figure out a way to confirm that I have a bent axle shaft. So I knew it was bent when it was on the car because you could see the wheel move in and out about 1/4 of an inch when spinning but I didn't know if...

I was out looking around in the pawn shops today, found this older analyzer it has all the pickups except the amp one, red plug, and no owners manual, but I saw some others online that look like they originally came with a remote starter and a vacuum gauge. Also got a made in japan Hawk...

I thought I would share this for those that may not have a tool to get hard to reach spark plugs. I learned this trick back in the 80's when my buddy was changing the plugs on his 70 Mach 1, and because of the tight space and exhaust manifolds, it was almost impossible to get the spark plugs in...

So, I am finally tired of struggling with loosening and tightening my distributor with a 1/2 inch boxend/open end wrench because its a pain in the *** to get to and I have to switch end frequently to get it done. Can someone recommend a good distributor wrench that actually works with good...

Problem: Had a little dilemma while rebuilding a pair of floor speakers. There was no room to get a drill inside the cabinet to make pilot holes for the cross over mounting screws, and could not use a punch either, just not enough room. So I thought I would pass along this tip for those that...

So, I have two grease guns, one is a full size and the other a small hand held, both sweat out grease around the nozzle tip, and the bottom of the cylinder and the top cylinder where the pump piston is located. They have always done it no matter what position they are stored in, or what type of...

So, when I was doing my restoration project, I bought a porter cable 6" bench top grinder. I didn't really need it for heavy work, just some odd and end grinding, wire wheel for cleaning up small parts, and buffer wheels for doing some of my trim work. It is the variable speed model, and worked...

I thought I had posted this before, but I don't believe I did. Anyway, and for those that live in cold regions, if you have a large TV box around, and a few bucks, you can build an inexpensive mini paint booth!!!! LOL Mine is 41deepx34widex24high. I used this through the winter months...

I found this Craftsman 6 drawer rollaway for 99 bucks at Ace hardware. I needed something to help with the overflowing tools in my other rollaway, thought this was a good price so I picked it up. Just thought I would share and say be on the lookout at Ace for good deals!!!!

So, still trying to get air out of my brakes, have bled three times now, all new components, everything, and yes, I already checked my front calipers, and they have the bleeder valves up, but still get about 3/4 pedal travel before brakes engage. So rather they trying to get someone to help, I...
