TOOLS/HARDWARE

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
