I appreciate all the opinions and advise. I am looking forward to closing in the space this winter. I may use the room for small CNC projects and an area to do small projects during the colder months until I move out of the area. Thanks again!

Been awhile since I have posted, but need some help figuring out a heating issue in my shop. I have a second home (house and large detached shop) that I use for storage of a vehicle, boat , shop tools and misc. outdoor gear. The property is located in a damp coastal area, with mild winters and...

For my shop box, I mostly have Snap On chrome and Proto impacts. Warranties are good with both Sk and Proto, but can be time consuming. Not sure why you are set on these 2, but Kobalt will do everything you need and there is something to be said for easy replacements. Put the big money in top...

I bought the hammer drill/drill (2704)and impact brushless M18 set a couple months ago. For the previous 20 years, I have been an almost exclusive user of Dewalt cordless tools, but needed a compact lightweight hammer drill for air travel where my toolbox needs to be under 50 pounds. 95% of...

I wish they had a full lifetime warranty no matter where they were purchased, however at the price point they sell for, not a big deal spending $3 for a replacement. I have used my 5 sets of Duo's hard for probably 3 years and haven't broken a single one. How many is a person gonna need to...

This is Grey (Taiwan), not to be confused with the much higher quality made in Brampton, ON Canada Gray

If I can hand thread the stud down far enough so that the distance between the bench frame and nut is less than the width of the wrench, everything works ok as the wrench cannot fall off (sandwiched between the caster and bench frame. Sometime however there is weld spatter, powder coat or my...

Thanks for that info Bobcat. Couldn't seem too find that info online. The nut is 3/4"

Thanks for both of those wrench ideas. I had not thought of either. I don't think the flare nut will work because there won't be enough room to lift it off the nut. Once the stud is tightened down into the bench, a typically thickness 6" Crescent needs to be wiggled free as it gets pinched...

I'm working on a project where I need to tighten a few thousand threaded caster studs into table frames. I am hoping to find a wrench that can slip around the nut, but has some sort of spring loaded arm that will help keep the wrench on the nut, while still easily removed In a perfect world...

The failure of Sears has very little to do with the outsourcing of Craftsman offshore as much as we like to think tools are the end all! Tastes change and Sears got caught in a time warp. No woman I know under 60 would be caught dead in that store. Out of date fashion, half the store on...

Thanks for the ideas and links so far mentioned. I have the aluminum camping white gas bottles, but really want a plastic solution. Will HPE free "Nalgene" bottles work? I have plenty of those too, just thought gas would erode the plastic and need something designed for gas.

Does anyone know a source for DOT approved quart or half gallon gasoline bottles. Ideally I would like it to have a screw off cap (about the size of a Gatorade bottle) w/o vent or nozzle. Not even sure if DOT containers meet code without a vent? The gas with be mixed 50/1 for a 2 stoke...

Too late on that deal, but I did order 6 other mags! Thanks for the link.
