Home Depot is getting rid of some Ridgid shopvacs. There are the wall mount 5 gal kind (they just lift off the bracket for portability)
They were $99..... & then....



However, the list price as of today is $19 so they won't last long... Hose is long enough to get into cars/cockpits etc

SKU # is 439 523

My garage earlier today...



Sorted!

Guess you all snoozed & missed it... on the other *gearhead* sites they've been cleaning out the HD's across the entire US.....

Not snoozin,....just being quiet about it!!!
What I really wanna know is where you get all those cool antique tools to restore on the cheap!!!!

Yard sales, estate sales, swap meets, pawn shops, couple of local engine shops, some are given to me. You just have to keep your eyes peeled

One local engine shop has pallets of aircraft tools, but they haven't managed to sort through them yet.

Pallets????
Ya gotta let me know what you don't want....spread the wealth!!

Is that a harbor freight english wheel? Is it worth getting one??

Thanks, Robert

They haven't sorted through them yet as fair as I know, so no one really knows whats in the boxes etc. All I was told is "tools, mostly radial stuff"

It is.. once they've been suitably modified/upgraded with the addition of another 75lbs+ of steel & been welded together instead of bolted.. & you get them on sale AND use the 20% off coupon
