    The OKnife U1 Utility Folder

    I carried the Pro for a few months and misplaced it on a family trip. Either that or one of the visitors had some sticky fingers... Since then I have been back to carrying the Milwaukee and I miss the size of the Pro. I just hadn't decided to order a new one yet. If I am so lucky to be chosen, I...

    Show me your car wash setup, wall mounted pressure washers

    I did a lot of research between the Active 2.0, McKillans HF1, and the Ryobi automotive. I ordered the Ryobi and the active wall mount and reel. Will try it out with the ryobi nozles and gun/ cannon. May update over time. Easy to justify with the coast of the Ryobi. I already have a nice 100ft...

    Hornet/ Wasp Problem..

    I found a mud dauber nest inside of an electrical box in my detached shop ceiling a few years back. Only way they could have gotten into the box was through an eave and into the little hole you punch out for the romex to pass through...

    Do those of you who have roll-up doors on your garage or shed get a lot of mice or bugs inside?

    Brush seals top and sides. Rubber threshold seal on bottom. I don't have any issues outside of normal residential garage bugs

    Help with heating garage!

    If you have the power available this is what I am running. Hard to beat bang for buck IMO. I have 2 ceiling fans that really help circulate the warm air in my 24 * 30 shop. Tall ceilings, only the ceiling is insulated. I keep it 65 deg inside while I am working and it cycles on and off as...

I used the rubber header seal at first but have since removed due to it getting stiff in the winter and causing the electric...

    Looking for a lift for F350

    Yea I can't get my rear arms to the leaf spring bracket. As you mention not designed for this truck. I will probably only use the lift on the truck if I need to pull the cab and will do the tire rotations with a floor jack or by just barely getting the tires off the ground. I can't beat what I...

    Looking for a lift for F350

    Out of curiosity, how would any other 2 post be different? The front arms are on the radius arm and the rear is on the frame just before it angles up. This is the same way I saw pickup trucks lifted with 2 post lifts when I worked in the auto industry.
