I found this rusty Wilton Tradesman vise on the side of the road and spent several days restoring it. It's a 2016 Wilton Tradesman 1755 vise, 5 1/2" jaw, 360 swivel base, made in the USA. There are no cracks, it operates very smoothly with no issues. I don't have the tools to resurface the anvil, so the deep divots and scratches remain. I've seen sold versions of similar year/model on ebay go for $500, $600 + $100 shipping. I put a lot of work into it, and would love to find it a good home. I priced it on fb marketplace and ebay for $415 or best offer, not getting much movement. What is a reasonable price considering the state of the anvil? I appreciate any help.

I can’t stop buying ratchets

Yes it's fake, but it could totally exist.

Metric wrenches

5th is the junk drawer

Needs a new cord a thorough cleaning and tuneup but it works. I cannot wait to need it!

Screwdrivers, picks, o-ring removers, etc.

Upgraded the home garage toolbox the other day from a small, 5 drawer Stanley to this guy. I'm not a mechanic or anything, but my wife and I do pretty much all of the work on our house when it needs it. Needless to say, I've accumulated more than the Stanley could hold.

I love the color, the drawers are nice and smooth, and it's big enough that I can still fit more tools in as I upgrade/replace stuff. I still have some stuff I'd like to get to better organize it, but for now everything is in and has a home.

These clamps are on sale at Menards if anyone is looking for a good deal. I grabbed 2 of the GK30's when I stumbled across them. I am always on the lookout for good deals on clamps. Just wanted to spread the word for anyone that has a local store.

Hopefully it doesn’t explode

I recently helped clean out my Grandmother’s garage for her and brought home an old Craftsman Tombstone box. These are some of the gems from the box.

- S-K 40970 1/4” ratchet from the late 40s
- Snap On L710 from 1951
- Diamond Calk 12” wrench from the late 40s/50s
- Barcalo wrench from the late 50s
- Herbrand wrench from War years, 1942-1945
- P&C wrench from the late 30s
- Not pictured are a mostly complete set of old Thorsen double open ended wrenches and a pile of sockets.

I figured you all might enjoy some cool old stuff.

I travel with my tools every week and tried out foam at one time. Foam is great when you don't switch out your tools, not so great when you want to switch out your tools. So I ordered some bungee cord, drilled out some holes, and used some Dibond sheet to use as the panel. Super light and I can switch out tools when I want.
