Same here. I saw a test of the HF vs SnapOn for accuracy (and other features) - it compared far better then it should have.

Id skip putting them near the shop if your concerned about looks - put them on the other side of the property. Toss a coupler lock on them and worry less. I have a 3 properties in town - none of them touch each other. I keep my trailers on one of the lots - heavy duty equipment trailers, dump...

Ive got a 24x32 and work on everything in it. Built a truck, tractors etc. Key is, I also have a good sized shed - 14x24 - that I keep my lawn mowers, yard tools, etc and it has a second level for off season house storage. If I had to keep all THAT **** in my garage - no way.

Ive used Makita, Bosch, Dewalt, Milwaukee at work - nobody makes BAD stuff, its mostly personal preference. ......but when I bought my tools for home.....I went Ryobi. Around my area quite a few pros use Ryobi and get by fine with it, but its widely considered home owner quality. That being...

Ok.....this Associated units look incredibly nice....but whoa, they are pricey. Thinking those are way over kill for my hobby garage purposes.

I see this all the time....then thank God I live in the middle of nowhere. No zoning, no building inspectors - no NOTHING. I built a commercial income property - a large self storage/mini storage building. I literally built whatever I wanted, however I wanted.....and not a single person to...

Ive had a Schumacher benchtop charger for almost 20 years - works great, automatic.....never let me down. .....but I occasionally need more UUUMPH. It didnt have enough POWA so start my skid loader this winter. Anyone have a suggestion for a wheeled unit....maybe with a 200a engine start or...

I was in the same spot....problem is, the cheapest of the cheap makes the job harder, results poorer and when you dont have the skill to compensate - its goes poorly. Im a ****** welder.....so I didnt want to start fighting uphill. I think for a budget welder- Hobart Handler. I got my setup...

I wouldnt give it a second thought.....

Killed most of a day putting a fuel transfer tank/trailer together. I hate running to the gas station and back all the time filling tractors, skid loaders, mowers, trucks etc.

Your experience or ground may vary.....but 1 - I cannot stay on my BX on most of my terrain flat out, my zero turn has a far better ride 2 - turning radius is like 6 feet on the tractor vs inside its own footprint on the ZT These issues arent issues if your mowing a square field so I see your...

Ive used them all and still own these machines. Kubota BX with mid mount mower New Holland or John Deere compact tractor with 3pt finishing mower Cub Cadet "standard" riding mower Spartan zero turn mower Yeah....the tractors do SOOO much more then mow.....but as mowers, they are substandard at...

That's what I was thinking. I mean the cost of a couple batteries if purchased new at full retail IS significant ....but Holiday specials....used.....even off brand / refurbished wouldn't be a huge deal....IF the end result is a superior product.

I have all Ryobi tools, so Id prefer NOT to start buying into Milwaukee or another brand battery system. Yeah, Ryobi doesnt make heated gear....bummer. There are, however, lots of other options out there that arent centered around a specific tool related battery setup. Anyone using anything...

I have zero clue, I hired professionals and paid - and Im hoping they know their ****. The cement guy is going to put 3" of gravel down on the clay, then pour the slab on that. I looked at the compeition (or general lack thereof in this case - *1* other storage unit in my small town). I...
