So I've got my brake all cleaned up, but for the life of me can't understand it's supposed to work? It almost seems like the fingers should drop closer to the bed in order to brake the metal.. but the upper portion only seems to pivot and not lower? If you pivot the finger down to the metal...

Picked up this 24" finger brake off FB marketplace locally.. Looks like it's got most/all of the fingers and missing the handles? The handles are round tube that go into a slot. I've been looking for a make, or model, but all it has are casting numbers on the left, right and front. Anyone...

Yep, that's plan B.. Unfortunately the smallest part is a 4' shelf. If I can't get any tips, that's the next stop.

Has anyone been successful at matching Durham's gray paint? I've got a number of the Durham 12/14ga steel cabinets and picked up a few more Stronghold's. I'd like to paint the crusty ones to match the Durhams? I'm hoping to pick up a quart or two of Rustoleum and spray it.. but trying to...

Don't bother.. they won't ship. I ordered when these were posted a few weeks ago and amazon finally cancelled my order since JLW wouldn't ship/confirm.

thx, got a set as well!

I just sent a 6.0 back myself. First time I've sent a battery back. Plenty of tools though.

So i'm on my second IR regulator.. and this one is now acting the same way. I occasionally paint and turn it down to 40psi. works fine and then I turn it back up. Then sometimes it starts leaking and I have to crank it + to stop the leak. Then I can no longer reduce the pressure. This...

I'm pretty sure amazon is having the ups store do a cursory check, then dropping your item into a big ol box to be sent to salvage auction on their behalf. It's probably cheaper that way vs paying the return freight on everything.

technically, this is a tool, but i figured I'd give the early morning crowd a shot at it first. GEARWRENCH 3 Pc. 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" Drive 120XP Teardrop Ratchet Set - 81206P $43.19 via CPO (18 left) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009PJPL6A/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Here are a couple that I recently built for my house. im a fan of finding old barn beams and bandsawing them in half.. and putting the cut side down. re: mounting.. i had access to the studs for the square one.. so I took a similar route, took some black pipe..welded washers to them and added...

It's a unlikely to be an annual thing. When Ellison came on, he cut back on many of the deck boards they stocked..plus they redesigned them with fluted bottoms to reduce shipping weight. It was a great sale though, I bought a couple hundred boards and have built 3 decks so far. Sent from my...

I'm willing to get it's just luck of the draw of how they've gone through the distro center (both vendor & UPS) and how many times the driver dropped it along the way. I've seen many of these akro boxes at amazon return auctions and it's usually due to dropping them, since they are pretty big...

Has anyone received theirs from the earlier batch? normally i'd be skeptical too, but the avg price on 3x camel is $116 for this item..so it seems like the real deal. Enough for me to give it a shot on 2 packs.
