I have a Ridgid 18V portable. I did a video on it and so far I am very impressed. I also have a VIAIR 88P Portable Air Compressor which I like also but I have used my Ridgid more, the Ridgid can be used with the 18V battery or connected to the vehicle battery with the included cable.

I have an old-school Schumacher battery charger, it has a large transformer in it that really hums when you put it on boost. The problem is with all the sensitive electronics on cars nowadays I would really like a new modern solid-state charger that is solid, robust, and reliable. I have been...

I made a video of my VFD I have been using for 5 years to power my 3hp vertical mill. 5HP VFD powering my 3HP Vertical mill

So a few years ago I built this Tailstock tap and die holder and it is the best addition to my lathe I have ever made. It is easy to make and it is so handy I use it even if I only have one part to thread.

Hey guys, I do auto maintenance on the side and got tired of finding stuff to depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal when I needed too so I put the thinking cap on and made an improvised brake depressor tool that I think is the handiest brake or accelerator depressor I have seen. The best...

Cool video's can't wait to see the next in the series.

Awesome, Not only did I learn a few things about building a shop but I will be following your progression as your shop is built so I can get a better idea of how I want mine done. Please video and take pictures as they get each stage finished. I can't wait to see the finished project.

For anyone interested in this light I just posted a review on youtube. It is a very nice light for $20.00. I also did a small modification to it so I can mount it flush and I check the current and wattage usage it consumes. BRAUN 4 Ft. LED Hanging Shop Light Youtube review

I bought a 24" hand cable swagger off ebay and I buy a bag of 100 Ferrule's off Amazon for whatever size cable. WOrks great here are pics of what I have.

For the price the HF composite ratchets are good, The HF swivel head ratchets are also good. For the price and lifetime warranty, HF is hard to beat nowadays in my opinion. HF is like Sears used to be with craftsman. If you do break it they will warranty it no questions asked.

Yes I have a couple times. They are legit.

The harbor freight app for android. I highly recommend the app as it has coupons you will probably never see in your area but they will be accepted at any HF. You can also simply add coupons you like to the cart and when you checkout simply scroll through them and they can scan it right off your...

I sold all my ECHO gas lawn equipment and went with EGO cordless, I love all my EGO equipment which includes a Trimmer, Edger, Hedger, and Blower. The nicest thing about them all is when you are ready to use one just pick it up and squeeze the trigger. No more mixing gas and oil and primer bulb...

I stayed away from them for years until I needed another 1/4 ratchet for my portable box, I was in HF and started playing around with one and thought I have a $5.00 off coupon "Which I will post for you guys" which brought the price down to $2.99 so I figured even if it was junk I wasn't out...

I bought an EGO 580CFM 168MPH blower about a week ago and love it. I had an ECHO gas blower and loved it until I got my cordless blower. The EGO is more powerful than my ECHO gas blower and no more mixing gas, pull starting or the noise. I actually did a quick review of it on youtube.
