ArdWrknTrk Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 For those of you into such things, SpaceX will be launching their first crew at 4:33pm ET today. Live coverage is already underway: The scrolling comment stream on NASA's side is distracting. No bueno. I know where my focus is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1986F150Six Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Scrubs are SO disappointing. Changing the subject for a moment: Last week, at an estate sale, I found a bucket of old tools, all made in the USA! 1/2" drive ratchets: Performance Tool W32101 CR-V, Armstrong 12-972; J.H. Williams S-52, Sparta CS-45, Snap-On SL710. 3/8" drive ratchets: Proto 5249, K-D 721117. 1/4" drive ratchets: S-K 40970, Craftsman V-43185. Extensions: New Britain NB-21 3/8", Wright 3418 3/8", Armstrong S-115P 1/2". Breaker bar: Craftsman 1/2" drive. 6 chrome folding sets of Allen wrenches: ALLEN, Klein Tools, Eklind Tools, Vaco Products. 7 sets of Allen wrenches: Blue Devil, Unbrako, Bondhus, ALLEN USA. The old man who owned these died years ago. His widow recently passed away and the family hired an agency to dispose of everything. Sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Craftsmans were probably from back when they sold pretty good stuff. Good find! Are you going to hang some of those up in your man cave?

Are you going to hang some of those up in your man cave? The Craftsman pieces proudly display: Forged in the USA! I am drawn to the Snap-On, JH Williams and Armstrong pieces and will keep what does not sell. A few machinists and the maintenance man, here at work, have expressed interest. I do like older things to place in my very modest man cave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
