    Let's see your toolbox.

    Nice sound system there , wolverinehusky. No room for a beverage fridge in my garage. After 3 weeks of wait it's here - picked up my new 46" "high capacity" Milwaukee box.

    BEFORE & AFTER....A Tool Polisher's Haven

    Brian, looks amazing. JML, great job , those punches look new. Question though, why did you blue them if you polished the bluing later anyways? Just to enhance the lettering?

    Best small compressor

    I have the under 100$ Menards compressor thingy with small orange tank for over a decade now. Obviously I don't use it for impact or painting, air blower pistol drains it in seconds, it's loud. but it keeps up with my small nail gun just fine - PSI is PSI. I imagine it will do fine with...

    Adding a Garage over Part of Existing Driveway

    Yes, you will need to rip the concrete and dig down all the way below the frost line. I would start by talking to engineer, chances are you will need to hire someone who will complete all the documentation required to pull a building permit. Good luck!

    Tool set - moving out of factory box?

    Short version This Black Friday I picked up Husky 100$ toolset. It is housed in pretty good box. I'm going back and forth on whether to relocate it all into craftsman rolling toolbox that is half empty or just keep it in factory (and have a clean top). Obviously a personal preference question...

    Miter Saw

    To add, my 10" Ryobi does not have the capacity to cleanly cut 4x4 - the blade nut spacer gets in the way and tiny specs of wood are left over. Not to big of a deal, I'm cleaning with chisle in the rare occasion that I get cutting 4x4s. But worth knowing. Not sure if the sliding one resolves...

    Makita vs Milwaukee cordless tools

    I think this comes down to color preference at this point. I'm sure Milwaukee has as capable tools as Makita . Same goes for the black-yellow and the deep blue guys. Happy Makita owner, I guess I'm on that 18V battery train now. But M12 stuff looks amazing, trying to keep myself away from that...

    Miter Saw

    "Basic" sounds like Ryobi , I owned one for over a decade now, not the most precise instrument but it suits the work I do. If budget is an issue check your local Craiglist, they sell for not even half price. EDIT: I guess I missed the actual question. Reasons to upgrade from basic: 1. I would...

    Harbor Freight Electric Impact

    I assume you talking about their wired Chicago electric (cheap) . Used one the other week , borowed from friend, about 5 year old tool. Worked awesome, apparently built to last at least that long . Not sure about torque specs, It it was more then enough to take wheels off.

    Corded Drills and Screw Driving

    the last thing corded that I used was a hammer drill. used 18V Makita hammer drill for concrete anchors last project and I don't see myself going back to the wired unless something very heavy duty. with the current lineup of cordless goodness from all the respectable manufacturers I don't see a...

    Thinking out a heater for small garage, wiring

    In that case you are much better off. I guess I missed the fact you actually have ceiling. The junction will be done in a way very similar to how you have your dishwasher or electric range/oven is wired - junction box on ceiling with cover that has adapter for flexible conduit (just a hole for...

    Thinking out a heater for small garage, wiring

    2. No recepticles - hardwire it. 4. Since it's 240 volt you will use a double pole breaker of 30 amp capacity. Being double pole it will have a footprint of two normal breakers, that way it taps into both phases that come in to the bus rails from the main breaker. But really it will be of no...
