Craftsmen Bench Grinder shit the bed. 30 years old. I'll probably hold onto it for another 10 years in a closet somewhere.
Is Sears still open? My buddy found a rotten craftsman wrench when he was excavating a foundation. He took it into Sears and they gave him a fresh one no questions asked.
When I turn the on switch it just hums loudly instead of grinding. it owes me nothing. Ace hardware will give me credit on the Ryobi 6" I can pick t up tomorrow. $98.

Can you flick the wheel from the side and make it run?
May have a dud starter cap, if it has one.
Cheapie today, little baby bit holders for doing distributor caps.

Ahh cool, looks so much like the classic old headtube badge off of the old Cover Hummer I used to have.
Damn sales got me again, 2 min noodles for the rest of the week.
A Milwaukee will be better but I hate the torque setting buttons on the Milwaukees, dial on the back is heaps quicker to adjust and has a larger range of settings.
Milwaukee is also better for doing left hand threaded stuff, Ze Germans deny the existence of LH threads as the torque adjustment only works for the clockwise direction.

Had been wanting that for a while, sale flyer came in the mail for $100 off. Don’t mind if I do.
I keep thinking about one of them but the grease gun keeps my forearms and hands in shape for bike riding.....and other things.
I have been swearing at my new McNaught gun for quite a while, new one is poop compared to the old one.
During spring planting I have 100 zerks that are daily’s. And quite a few are in different to reach spots. Should be a time saver.
Yeah I thought about your farming stuff, that would be pretty shit to do at the end of a day.
Doubt I'd do 100 on my busiest service day.
Those cordless grease guns are the shit!
You should have bought that thing 20 years ago
Cheap Crow's foot set that really annoyingly stops at 26mm, an individual 27mm will no doubt cost half what the set cost.
I was going to buy a decent set but the one I wanted got discontinued.
Edit, got these from 27-36mm, should be pretty handy.

My new work light turned up today, gotta read the instructions, can't turn it on.
EDIT- They got the sockets right, mid depth Kokens. Koken Zeals are one of the few sockets I can get off the Snap-On battery ratchet in smaller sizes coz of the ribbed for my pleasure shape. Mid length will be handy because of the shit design of the Snap-On ratchet.

Poor again, work has an assortment of okay and munted Knipex circlip pliers and that means I can't buy Knipex, so I got eight sizes of CK brand external pliers.
I'll get a a different brand/color for the internal ones so future apprentices or dumb humans don't spend five minutes squeezing every plier with a confused look when I ask them to get me a set.
Grab a medium size black plier dear apprentice.......

Very clean and nice looking!
Can you swap the drive bits? Saw those when the new Scram AX Eagle pelvic thrust chain destroyer 6000 drivetrain launched, but Toolbox wars said they're bonded in there.
