    Anyone tried this Bender?

    They are a vendor over on Pirate and they have a very long thread there with many members reviews and shots of what they have built with it. Everyone seems to really like it. I am planning to order one myself when I get closer to the tube work stage on my Jeep rebuild.

    ESAB Rebel multifunction welder

    I've been fighting the urge to get one of these myself. I'm very happy with my Miller 185 for my MIG work which is most of what I do. I also have a Miller Plasma cutter that I love and an old Lincoln tombstone for the once in a blue moon I need to use it. (Read basically never since I got the...

    3 Year Old in the Garage? Safety Issues?

    Somewhere I have a picture of my daughter when she was maybe 6 months old sitting in her bouncer by the garage door while I was out in the driveway wrenching on the Jeep. She is almost two now. First thing I had to do was move all my hardware as she just loved grabbing it from my carefully...

    Anyone here have solar panels?

    We bought our house with a system already installed. I know it's tied to the grid and we sell back to the power company. Don't recall offhand the specs of the array. All I know for sure is that in the almost three years we have owned the house I have never once paid an electric bill. My monthly...

    Battery tender install onto car ?

    Not off hand. Spent some time on Amazon. I actually originally got the set up to keep a 12v lawnmower battery mounted on my trailer charged up out in the desert to power some strobes on my flagpole for marking camp at night and charge my phone in the tent. It worked so well I ordered the same...

    Battery tender install onto car ?

    I've got mine tucked up inside the fender on the Jeep. Easy enough access. Can buy all that stuff on Amazon. On the Charger I use a solar panel and solar charge controller since its parked too far away from power. Just ran the plug up inside under the dash. Plug the solar panel in and pop it on...

    What is the best way to separate misc odds and ends

    I like to use those little clear plastic shoe box style bins with the lids. They are about a buck or so a piece, are a decent size in that they can hold either a large amount of small items or a few medium sized items, and they stack nice and neat. Clear sides makes it easy to see what is in...

    Show your Home Garage toolbox

    These are a few older shots before I upgraded to the last 40" and the big 52". But should give you guys a better idea of where they actually sit. I use the boxes as something of a center divider for my garage. Have them lined up behind my workbench wall for easy access from the benches. The...

    Show your Home Garage toolbox

    I've seen a fair few people say they are junk but I've been really happy with them so far. My socket drawers are loaded down heavy as hell and they still glide nice and smooth. I got the first 40" about two years ago now and it's still in perfect shape. Can't beat the price either. I got that...

    Trick tools

    Ditto this. I just got on of their heavy duty finger press brake kits for the Harbor Freight 20 ton press. Love it! I know Swags portaband stand is popular with the guys on Pirate as well. I don't have a portaband at the moment, but if I get one I'll be ordering theirs.

    What have you used your engine hoist for besides engines?

    If I had had one I would have used it to unload the Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rear I dragged him for my Jeep a few weeks ago. Instead I got creative and sketchy with a big *** screw in ladder hook, a come a long, and some chain from my Garage rafter.

    Show your Home Garage toolbox

    Here are my little home boxes. 3 Husky 40" boxes and one big *** Husky 52" box. Wanted and planned to get a fourth 40" so they would match but none of the Home Depots near me had one in stock when I was ready. Bigger is better right?

    outfitting home garage for welding

    When I built my workbench wall I set the welding area up at the end closest to the garage door. The pegboard divider between the welding table and the next section of bench actually has some thin sheet steel sandwiched between it and the pegboard on the other side to keep sparks and such from...
