    High-lift garage door balance?

    Sounds like I've confirmed suspicions that I should have an installer come do the opener rather than fight it myself. Thanks!

    High-lift garage door balance?

    Bought my house a couple years ago and finally getting around to putting an opener on the third garage (jackshaft). House is about 14 years old and apparently never had an opener here for some reason. The bay in question has a high lift door (13' ceiling) so there's a lot of vertical motion...

    The best wire cable cutter?

    Depends on wire size, but hard to beat Knipex 95 61 190 SBA Wire Rope Cutter if the size is right.

    Protectant

    Boeshield t9 will stink while it dries but then leaves a thin film of wax that protects damn well.

    Sunjoe pressure washer not holding pressure - repair?

    Any ideas what might be wrong with my SPX3500? Started with pump sometimes not turning off. Nbd, had a bit of a leak near the handle, figured it was just that. Progressed from there to pump not turning off AND low pressure. However, if I turn off the pressure washer, hold the trigger on (so...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    Would love to do this but can't figure out how to separate them. If I have to pick up all three can you return them as individual items even with the internet order? I don't mind a side trip to THD but would **** to only be able to return it as a single "item". I even tried it with your store...

    Does the M12 inflator kit w/ 2.0 + charger ever drop below $99, or should I give up waiting? Would be lovely to have for autox.

    Hoist / Block and tackle for lifting wheels?

    Looking to use the vertical space in my garage to make my storage as efficient as possible, and one of the larger items I'd like to keep off the ground are the winter wheels/tires. I have some of the Costco tire racks from Safer Racks (note: I don't love how low these are on the sides, seems...

    Furring cabinets out from the wall?

    Figured out a new plan... I only have to line up one side this way. Going to move one of the large lockers to the back wall instead of the side wall. Some longer leveling feet will let me rest the back of the left lower on the concrete sill, and there's 2" extra depth on the work surface so I...

    Furring cabinets out from the wall?

    I have all of the uppers linked together around the corner - so if I directly mount all of the uppers to the wall, it's going to be short on both sides. That said... They're garage cabinets, so maybe I should just leave those gaps and use them to store tall things :)

    Furring cabinets out from the wall?

    My Newage Pro cabinets finally came, and I realized I designed myself literally into a corner. I have a stem wall/foundation wall that's between 3.5 and 4" deep along both walls. The back wall is high so I'm definitely mounting in front of the wall. This leaves me about 4" away from the back...

    Don't worry, I have a separate Dexter studio for that.

    What to put behind workbench (under upper cabinets) - Pegboard, Slatwall, or nothin?

    In other words - hide all the tools in drawers, or organize them in plain sight? Waiting on delivery of my Newage Pro cabinets, to be installed in my garage as below (top left): (I might end up with the second large cabinet on the back wall instead of the left, but I digress) The stem wall...
