I havent used this drill yet, nor has anyone else for that matter! Its funny holding a 30 year old new tool in your hand.

Well, they are not speakers, they are something like a speaker, a transducer. The bubbles I don't think are hydrogen, the sound induces a cavitation in the water/solvent, which produce tiny bubbles, which collapse with extreme force, this action is what pulls/tears the dirt off the part to be cleaned.

Yes Jay Leno has a huge one, worth thousands.

Anybody know if you can purchase a transducer alone to make a US cleaner?

Just thought I'd pop in here as I've been here before
It's a complected machine you need to produce 40 to 400 kHz (variable) feed that through an amp to your transducer and theres the rub £111.00

NOS bottle jack

I found this Sears 3 ton bottle jack recently. Can always use one of these.

Hey guys, I know I haven't been around much since Christmas... (right Lawrence? haha...) And truth be told haven't worked on or with a saw at all since rebuilding my friend's 394 over Christmas break.

Anyway, back last summer I brought home an old impact gun along with a few junker saws from the scrapyard one day. I never really looked at the gun at the time, just thought it was some cheapo, but I've rebuilt probably half a dozen quite easily in the last couple years, mostly at work, that people had given up on simply because they hadn't been oiled properly and had stuck. Well imagine my surprise when I took the rubber protective boot off the gun and found a nice, but well used, Snap-On IM-51A!:

They're not really terribly complicated machines. They can be tricky to get back together in the right order sometimes but it's not too bad. This one was just full of sticky grease and junk, you could turn the shaft over by hand quite easily but the air just wouldn't break it loose. I totally tore it down and washed/degreased it all in Varsol, then reassembled (took me two tries) with a good dose of air tool oil on everything. She purrs like a kitten now!:

Excuse the tunes LOL. Forgot I had that going in the background when I made the vid. It's funny how music can fade out so you don't notice it after a while. Anyway she ain't real pretty on the outside, but the guts looked to be in excellent condition. I couldn't find any noticeable wear anywhere, to be honest. I haven't put it to work on a stuck bolt yet to see what it can do, but I'm sure it'll do fine, it has plenty of snap to it when you pull the trigger and feels a lot more torquey than the cheapie I've been using. It seems the newer equivalent of these guns go for well over $300 USD, so I guess I did OK at free!

Scrap pile rebuild

Well all be! Is that you Brad?Welcome back my man.Great score is right Joe.
Brad you are a true recycler.I was down at the recycle yesterday and saw a few things that I should have grabbed from the bin there,but was in fast mode so had to let it pass.One guy dripped off what looked to be a mint older rock solid metal vacuum,you know the ones that look teardrop shaped.Would have made an awesome car vacuum if it worked.Probably through it out because the bag was full,LOL

I will take it to the cabin in try it out on the wood stove there.
I did try a bit of suck and blow (very gently) and it seems to work fine.
They still sell it $100:msp_ohmy:

JoeSalter.com - Details for The Marlin M. 1881 Reloading Tool 38-55 Cal.
Came across this gun tool at a yard sale $2
The link above is the only info I could find.
any info out there??
Bob

A bit late i realize, but here's the place to figure it out.

Antique Reloading Tool Collector's Association

That appears to be an early hand reloader with the bullet mould included. Edit to add- we call them "nutcrackers", couldn't remember the word last night.

The number of guys here who've never seen or used a tire hammer make me feel positively oooooold.

Heh Bob did you pick that stuff up from the same place you got the last bunch of Stihl parts, or is that a separate seller?
Lawrence

 

[Guido Salvage]

Old tools, eh?

Anyone see anything they need?
