Finally found an older #99 16oz for a good price,  and it has a nice octagonal handle too.

It just needs a little work.
Now I've got 3 variants of the #999 20oz, a #9 16oz, and 2 #9 10oz, the 9 series rip claws are my favorite for claw hammers.
I don't have much cause to have a favorite claw hammer and don't swing one everyday, but I do have a favorite.

I saw these on the ebay and decided I couldn't do without. I haven't tried em out yet but will give em a go next time I get a chance.

I bought a new to me pickup with a Cummins. Did some reading and these seemed like they would be handy.

Apparently the oil filter must be tilted to get it in and out of its area. This is a screw in plug to keep it from spilling oil while you do it.


Went ahead and got a socket to change the fuel filter on the engine. Not sure I needed it but who sez no to a new socket?


I usually just clamp what ever I'm drilling to the table on the drill press but saw this one on the ebay so I went ahead and put it in the cart. Seems like a nice unit but time will tell.

I need to find me a smaller drill press vise, I have one from HF but it won't fit a 10" drill press.

Does the one you use have 4" jaws? That is kind of the standard size most widely used but there are 6" and 2.5" out there A quick search shows the 2.5 vises are going to ship from Great Britain or China. The smaller ones might have bodies made of aluminum or plastic but the Palmgren small vises are well built but the price is north of $100.

I found this one on the bay but in features it is described as an aluminum body and the specs say the body is cast iron so buyer beware.

I think 4" jaws.
For some reason it just seems way too big to fit on my drill press.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I could not see a way it would mount.

got these

got these

I really like my E336, I've only had them a few months but have been happy every time they get used.

lost my 436 and these are the new hotness!

So what exactly is the difference between the 436 and 336 ?
Channellock doesn't seem to offer them anymore, were they an overall different style ?
I originally thought there was a specific difference between the 33 and 43 series,  but there's not.



I had a pair 437 and hated them , even my old 337 cut way easier and the current 337 even better still.

It's funny that both have the improved pivot, but only the 336 gets an E added to signify it while the 337 dosen't.

I just received this 5575C case for my Chapman kit, the new ( currently sold out ) pm13 palm ratchet and 2 stubby handle I got a couple weeks ago.
I don't really need both finger spinners, but this case includes one free, I'll probably set up a new kit with my previous case and will have it for that.

436 is just a standard 6" diagonal cutter
336 is the XLT

Interesting that the 436 and 336 look the same , while the 437 and 337 are completely different.

Pre-owned tools,  almost never buynew tols, but this what I got recently.  Some more of the 1950s ACE Hardware screwdrivers, some SK Wayne, Craftsman, wrenches, with an Electrolite Battery wrench in there.  What I have a question about is the tiny wrench with swing out screwdriver blades, seen one before but can't recall its name, anybody?

Isn't that little one with the driver blades an ignition tool ?

Those Ace screwdrivers look nice, they look a lot like the old green and white acetate handles from S-K.
