Title: Garage sale cabinet
Post by: jimwrench on May 11, 2012, 05:56:11 PM
 Got a little 3 drawer cabinet at garage sale today. I just manned up and paid the asking price. I think there are 13 burrs, 2 wire guages,and a pair of stair clamps plus a lot o other items. the one that I'm not familiar with is the Stifbak bolt,nut & wrench gage. Anyone familiar with this gage or the company that made it . Back looks like it was made of brass. When I tried to investigate it windows corrected my spelling and told me what I needed to do for my stiff back
