Now she needs the pink Craftsman tool box. My SIL uses her's for makeup. LoL

Great thread, guys. Now I have a good list of online suppliers when I need them. My only choice (I thought) a couple of years ago was Fastenal. I bought a used tractor and found that many of the fasteners on the front-end loader and it's attached frame were missing. Through Fastenal I...

A pickup is basically a coil of wire that clamps around a plug wire. So any pickup from any light should work if you could find a non-working one for free. Also, epoxying you broken one together where it has continuity should take care of it also.

You also have another choice but it seems not as well known. Do a search for "wafflemat foundation'. Supposedly less labor to make it less costly but also advertised as never having a structural failure.

I have a 2-car garage attached to the house but it's been full since we moved in 15 years ago so there was no working in there. We did get a lot of it cleaned out a few months ago so now it's my motorcycle garage. But we're saving for a move soon to 4 acres 12 miles from town. THEN I'll have...

Up until now I've had a mish mash of different low cost brands but I've decided to go with Milwaukee M18 since I just bought an M18 FUEL 1/4" impact kit. (2653-22CT) And for 45% of the Home Depot price. I'm hoping their next shipment has a 1/2" impact.

I've been planning the same thing for some time. For garden watering and even household use other than drinking... and with a DIY filter system possibly even drinking water. My plan is to mount the tank (or tanks) on a raised platform and use the drop to create at least a small amount of...

VIN number... I use it many times every day. I work in a auto dealer parts department and back when I would ask for a VIN I would have to go through explaining what I needed. Once I started asking for a "VIN number" I got what I needed. Someone mentioned words and phrases used in the South...

When he says "more powerful" does he mean more torque, more speed or longer battery life? The reason that I ask is that I have a 5-6 year old 3/8 18V Craftsman (original batteries!) and it will almost break your wrist on low speed. I'm just surprised that he would need more power... maybe he...

I'll bet you don't have any gremlin traps in your tool boxes do you? Better run down to Sears and get a few. :-)

I'll bet you live through it. You may suffer some, but you'll live.

I'm sure there is SOMETHING here someone could use!

Just like the one I learned on... I'd have one in my shop if I ever get it built.

You put the bottom piece in that pic through the top ratchet piece to remove the lug nuts. One end is for prying off the wheel cover or center caps and the other end is the socket end.

I've found a few things over the years but I think the best was about 6-7 years ago. Some cable guys large Plano box full of coax wiring parts. No tools... just coax cable ends, zip ties, weather covers, ground rod clamps, etc.
