Thank you for all the replies. To be a little more clear, I see the options for the fans themselves, that's not the issue. My main concern is with the fan no longer being in the same location as the previous fan, what's the best way to wire the new fan, as well as suggestions on lights to fill...

My master bathroom is 6x10, plus a 4x6 walk-in shower, 8ft ceilings. With a single exhaust fan centered in the middle of the main portion of the bathroom. Originally from everything I can tell it was originally only 6x10. The shower used to be a walk in closet. Anyway, the shower is closed...

If I had a welder I would fix it. Figured it's a good time to upgrade for a better option. This seems to be the winner! I'm not buying right now because I'm about to be gone for 6 months but this seems ideal for my smaller work space.

Well my creeper gave up the ghost today. It was a metal frame Power Torque from O'Reilley's. Had adjustable headrest, other than that nothing special. Bought it about 16 months ago, but only has a 1 year warranty. I hadn't realized it had been over a year, so I took it into O'Reilley to...

So I bought my house about 3 years ago. I have only painted 2 rooms because I hate roll painting. I am fairly skilled, I don't need to tape to cut, but it's still a big pain in the ****. Also the exterior was painted prior to us moving in, but I know in the next year or 2 I will need to paint...

These thin profile ratchets have been my go to for 10 years. I now have a set of Tekton 90tooth that I've started using, but I will always love these ratchet. I should probably get some rebuild kits while they're still(possibly) available. These are 10x better than the RP cman stuff for sure.

I just changed my whole socket set-up. I had 6-pt 1/4 SAE/MM deep and shallow, 6pt 3/8 SAE/MM deep and shallow, 12pt 3/8 SAE/MM shallow, and 12pt 1/2 SAE/MM Deep and shallow. I sold all of those sockets except the 3/8 12pt, and bought a new set that's more inclusive and all 6 point. I knew...

Something like this might work for you! ICON Screw Extractor

Their new sockets are stamped deep with the size markings as well as etched like the ones you received. No more worrying about not being able to see the size!

From a purchasing standpoint, I have no desire to buy any Craftsman tools anymore. In-fact, I recently replaced all of my USA made Cman sockets with Tekton. I was a little excited when I first heard about the V series, but the price point isn't where I want to be for non US made tools. All of...

I was concerned about my Cman warranty, but I had an old 18" flex head 1/2" drive V series ratchet(probably from the early 80's?) that had broke a while ago. Contacted Cman via their website and got a new 96 tooth V Series replacement($100 ratchet) within a few days. Overall very happy. Still...

I haven't had to warranty anything yet. But I did buy their whole socket/drive set for $400 when it was on overstock sale a few months ago. I did this based on what I had heard about their quality and warranty. This replaced my USA Cman set that I bought about 10 years ago. The set was...

I've heard of others having issues. I just contacted Craftsman via their "contact" section on the website. Within about 3 days I had a brand new ratchet at my door. Background it was an older V series 1/2" drive 18" flex head ratchet(that I was unable to find a repair kit for). Got a new v...

I always thought people were crazy when they talked up a screwdriver. I have used Snap-on, Mac, Matco, USA Cman and many others. Never really noticed a difference. I bought a Vessel for my Japanese motorcycle and I fell in love. I have this set, as well as a Megadora J2. I absolutely love...

If I paid to have that done, I would not be happy. If that's how it looked after I did it, I would be perfectly fine with it. I honestly think if it was only the crack repair that was visible, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but it's obviously not evenly applied in all locations. What do...
