I still have like 170 of them....just a few :rolleyes:

I have 3 as it is. I certainly don't need another lol.

I'm looking for some interesting ideas on what to make out of U shank jigsaw blades. My jigsaws take the T shank blades and I have a ton of U shank blades. I made a couple pumpkin carking knives with a couple of the coarser blades using my 3D printer. Any suggestions on what I can do with...

So recently picked up an IBC container and am modifying the cage into a not so OSHA approved man lift for my tractor. I have had lots of feedback ranging from super sketch to neat idea so lets not go there...common sense will play a big factor in its limited use. My question is what can I do...

This has a new style pickup tube from the ones you are thinking of. Was hoping someone had one that is the newer style to see if it actually worked well

Maybe I should clarify...not so much "how does it work?" How well does it work? I know the old style weren't great but worked better with some modifications. Wondering if there is an improvement to be made here. I have seen some guys who have set up to pull from the bottom as well...not sure...

I just picked up a Princess auto floor model sandblast cabinet (same as all the Chinese ones out there). One thing that surprised me was the pickup tube for the sand is different that what I had seen previously. I know there were issues with the old design and a lot of guys made some simple...

I do realize they are primarily for low voltage wire but my understanding is it will work for electrical wire as well.

The price difference is likely due to it being Canadian $$$$

I ordered a Klein Wire Tracer from amazon for $110 (Klein VDV500-820) but while I was at Home Depot today I saw a Klein wire tracer for $55 (Klein VDV500-705), I bought the cheaper one thinking I would send the other back. Now I have both sitting on my counter and I am trying to figure out if...

I ordered the Dewalt. The Wen resembles a lot of the lower end grinders....maybe they are good too. I'm hoping a few less features and a little more money means you are putting that money into the quality of the grinder rather than the extra bits. I also like that its an inch wider. My gut...

Dewalt 4.2A Wen 5A Dewalt is an inch wider than the Wen

I agree but I am worried it may not be as good of a grinder. I watched a video on it and it shook like mad out of the box. The guy was able to get it better but still concerns me. The Dewalt videos seemed to be smooth but made mention to some people having vibration issues. Looks like the...

I'm in the market for a new bench grinder. I was looking at the 8" Dewalt or the Wen 8" Variable speed. I think the Dewalt is probably the better built grinder so I was leaning that way but I do like some of the features of the Wen (variable speed, light). My concern is that the tool rests...
