    Who's actually broken Chrome sockets with an impact?

    Guilty several times when I was younger. I did not know there was a difference between the two until I was in my late 20's.

    High quality task light?

    I have one of these beauties mounted to the cabinet above my work bench. Works pretty darn good for the money. https://www.harborfreight.com/fluorescent-magnifying-lamp-60643.html?_br_psugg_q=lamp

    Interlocking Plastic Mats (not garage floor tiles)

    Call your local Sunbelt rentals and rent a few sheets of Dura-Deck. They're usually 4x8 and interconnect at the edges...

    HF US General Boxes, Are They Worth It?

    That's a smoking deal! If HF woulda had the 72" tops a few years ago when I was in the market, this would have been a no-brainer. I grabbed a Frontier 72" top & bottom from Rural King instead. They're fine for my limited homeowner use, but the HF is just a little beefier.

    Cutting wire cable for exercise machine

    I have a weight machine also. A pair of cables were fraying here they went up and over a pulley. I grabbed replacement vinyl coated cable at Menards (mid-Western version of Lowes/Home Depot). It cost me $13 or $14. Cut it with my HF grinder and a disc. Easy peasey.

    Upgrading to 3 car garage during construction

    If I could go back and re-do it when we were building.... I'd ask the guy how much larger of a stall can they add for $20K instead of $15K.

    Full view garage doors

    There's a beautiful house around the corner from us - they have frosted glass panes. You can just make out the silhouette of of something low slung and fast (vette? Porsche?). The doors really make the garage stand out.

    Which wood sander?

    Man, I'm glad you posted this. I also have a cheap and basic HF sander and it works great. I can't see the need to spend bigger $$$ on such a basic tool.
