What Did You Buy Today?

Also, unless RH has a factory in Taiwan, they don’t make them.

RH doesn’t manufacture much in-house. Their tires are made by Panaracer, handlebars by Nitto and so on. Still, very high quality products.

Had to do some late night shopping and get me a sturdier chain whip Working on another set of track wheels but the previous owner hasn’t bothered with anti-seize when installing the cog. It sits tight.

Picking these up this weekend. Old estate workshop cleanout lots of old antique hand tools and machines. Ive always wanted a metal planer, this one seems to be a 1910-1920s Whitcomb 17" x17" x48". Never thought id find one close to home.



The other is a 100lb Little Giant Trip hammer with a line shaft. Seems to be in really good shape.





Im sure its gonna be an all day affair to get them out, up onto the trailer and back to home.

Still, very high quality products.

At $35 for a peanut butter spreader I would hope so.

I don’t think my Father ever had a spout: I always saw him use a flat bladed screwdriver to punch a largish hole in one side of the top and a smaller hole opposite to let sir in when the oil was poured out. I do remember him having a glass Mason jar with a long conical spout/lid (IIRC, back before detergent oils you drained the dirty oil, let the dirt settle out, filter the clear oil and use it again) like this:

we had a couple of those.
and several spouts, and also many can openers that pushed a triangle opening into the can.
Ahhh those were the days.

The oil cans and the glass jars with the pour spout were only yesterday. The only way you bought oil was in bulk(thus the glass jar with the pour spout) or in a can. It hasn’t been that long ago , or has it? Time catches up with all of us.

Been in the auto biz since early 80’s. The tin can went away at that time. Sold my repair shop 2yrs ago and retired…but I can still hear the sound of the spout piercing the can.
