    Porter Cable vs Dewalt Bench Grinder

    I thought this thread had died... and somehow, a revival! I am in the Highlands/Hikes Lane area... why do you ask? :beer: I definitely have mail service, not a business address, though I'm not sure that matters. I've been hounding the Louisville / Bowling Green / Lexington / East Kentucky /...

    Porter Cable vs Dewalt Bench Grinder

    I would love to, but around here, grinders that come up for sale, used, are either **** brands, or **** pricing. Besides, I really do have some gift cards that I need to spend!

    Porter Cable vs Dewalt Bench Grinder

    I'll make a long story short. I have some Lowes gift cards that I need to spend, and I want a bench grinder for general purposes. I am not a mechanic, so it will not be heavily used, mostly for lawn mower blades, for polishing and cleaning (I plan to get a a cotton wheel and wire wheel as well)...

    Where to get correct garage door bottom seal?

    Thanks, Josh. Unfortunately, I just went ahead and bought a whole new aluminum channel and seal. At about $2 per foot, 17 foot of seal would have been $34 anyway... the new track was $40 at Home Depot and that came with a seal too. Just an FYI if anyone searches this topic in the future: The...

    Where to get correct garage door bottom seal?

    Thanks, I'll check out Home Depot as well. I thought that they had the same brands for this stuff, but I can very much (as I often am, ask my wife :headscrat) be mistaken!

    Where to get correct garage door bottom seal?

    I am trying to replace the bottom seal on my 16' garage door. I went to Lowes and found what I thought was the correct seal. However, the damn thing will NOT slide down the aluminum track on the bottom of my door. After closer inspection, I see that the old seal actually has a half-moon shape to...

    Where to find the right Garage Door Bottom Seal?

    I am trying to replace the bottom seal on my 2-car garage, and can't seem to find the right seal for my purposes. I can find the rubber/platic/vinyl type seal at Lowes / Home Depot, but when I try to put it into the tracks on the bottom of my door, I find that the T section is about 2mm too wide...

    USA craftsman RP combo value?

    I am looking for a 12pc Metric 12pt Craftsman RP set 7mm-18mm to go with my SAE set for the home box. I've been looking on Craigslist, and after shipping, those sets are going for about $25-$30 each for the New-Old-Stock stuff. I might be interested in that metric set, depending on price after...

    Found a deal on craigslist? - List Here!

    I wish. Unfortunately, I don't make a living off my tools, so even at a great deal, $900 is way too much for me to spend!

    it's 2013 garage sale season!...

    I picked up these (2) toolboxes for $60 total from Craigslist. I was mainly interested in the Snap-On, but had to buy both to get it. I will probably turnover the Craftsman for $20-25, leaving me at $35-40 for the Snap-On box. It's a KRM54, circa 1979. The additional pictures are after I gave it...

    Can you ID this older Snap-On Box?

    This IS a KRM54 box from 1979. It's actually much larger than I thought it was... 26"W x 13"T x 15"D... basically a 26" topbox.

    Can you ID this older Snap-On Box?

    After scoping out the Collecting Snap-On site, and some intensive Google-fu, I think this is a KRM 54... though I'm not entirely sure.
