TOOLS/HARDWARE

You know what you need to lock up better than we do, so when you finish building that cabinet, secure it with this cabinet lock. 11/16" cylinder diameter, depth is 1-1/4”, and it has a 1-1/2” lock arm. Comes with (2) keys because you know how you lose things (we do too). Locking nut is included and key removes in both positions.

In a world of electroplated dreck, solid brass hardware stands alone. (It’s the cheese of the hardware world!) This is a 1-3/4" x 1" solid brass slide bolt from Stanley® with a 5/8” throw. Comes with brass mounting screws.

This simple, clean-lined chromed cabinet latch will tell every visitor to your home that you're standing right at the cutting edge of elegant home design. Each latch is 3/4" x 1-3/8" long with a 1-3/8" x 5/8" plate and a 1-1/4" long handle centered on a tasteful dome. Includes a mounting nut. Made in the USA.

Got something that needs pulling more than you could possibly pull it yourself? Lean on physics for help! Our portable 1-ton cable puller has a forged hook with a safety latch, approx 7 feet of 7 x 19 aircraft cable, a vinyl-coated grip, and a solid steel frame and single pawl gear—all in a handy carrying case. Don't install a fence without stretching it with this tool, which falls dead-center in the "Don't need one until you need one" category. Fortune favors the prepared. Imagine: logs, tree stumps, clearing debris, camping, boating, hunting. We’re not pulling your leg when we say the uses for this tool are endless.

Handles-R-Us. In the spirit of pure surplus, we’ve got these 1-7/8" long x 3/8" aluminum handles for a mechanical counter. Sized for a 5/32” ID shaft with a set-screw to tighten it down. If you don’t have any handle-less mechanical counters, put a handle on something else.

Here’s a nice little bronzed cabinet latch. The receiving end is adjustable with a pair of spring-loaded wheels, and mounts on the side of a cabinet. The male part mates with it and mounts on the inside of the cabinet door. You add bronze screws.

Simple is good, and life don't come much simpler. This U-shaped 1-1/8" deep drawer pull/cabinet handle is molded cream-colored plastic. Matte finish, 3/8" dia, 3/16" unthreaded bores, 4" centers. Recycle a couple of screws from the old handle, 'cause we won't be sending you new ones. Simple.

It’s a 5-draw extension shaft that extends from 7” to nearly 26”. One end has a padded black rubber handle and the other has, well, nothing. To be fair, it has a 3/8” long metal cylinder with a 7/32” ID at the business end, but for what, we don’t know. We suspect it was on its way to being some kind of pick-up tool but got distracted. As is, it’s a dandy pointer or the beginning of a clever something that you’re going to invent.
