Believe me guys, I wish I could get all the tools if I could (don't we all). I guess I was just trying to buy the nano sockets in case there are certain cases where it's impossible to reach when working on cars. I guess doing brake job was a bad example. I just don't want to be stuck with a...

I think cost is also a factor. A set of ratcheting wrench would be more expensive than nano socket + the nano ratcheting wrench. But my original question was really about the breakaway torque before they fail, and since I'll be working around rusty bolts, it sounds like a normal flex head...

Hi all, I'm a home DIY mechanic and already have my standard ratchet, breaker bar, torque wrench, and open box set. My next tool to get is a low profile socket set for hard to reach areas such as around the brakes. I've been doing research and have been debating whether to get a flex head...

Hi y'all, I have a few Husky garage cabinets that I'd like to refinish in a different color. These were originally powdercoated, and I'd like to know how durable/scratch resistant they can be if I used roll on paint with a few layers of clear coat applied? I prefer not to spray paint because of...

Hi Everyone, I’m looking to attach one of those wireless charger pads for charging my phone onto the other end of a table top, so I would need to bore a circle underneath the table top and place the charging pad there. I know that hole saws are used to make holes, but I’m looking to use it to...

Any other recommendations that i can buy from big box store?

Hi guys, I called Quikrete yesterday and ended up buying the Quikrete Vinyl Patcher. I'll let you guys know how it goes! Edit: I did look at Henry's but it's about $10 more expensive...

I think I may have found what I need. Quickrete FastSet Repair Mortar. I watched the video, seems like it'll work for my application. I've seen bad reviews on Quikrete products, but what do you guys think of this one?

Thanks guys. The thing is, I not only want to fill up the holes, but I want to make the curb smooth again, which means I'd have to apply a layer of this thinset on top and on the "wall"... What kind of mortar do I need for this specifically? I'll look up cement patch too..

Hi Guys, I'm looking at Custom Building Thinset Mortar, and I contacted one of their technicians inquiring whether thinset mortar would work to fix my garage's concrete curb (see pics below). The technician said it's not intended for that use so he has no idea if it'll bond correctly.. He said...

Hi Paul, I'm also going to be installing epoxy. Could you please tell me what brand you used and how your application process was? Did you wait until the indicated time before letting tires on the new coat?

Hi Guys, Going to be grinding my floor soon and I'm looking around for a shop vac to buy. I'm going to moisten the concrete floor as I grind them so there's not so much dust around. When I use my shop vac to **** up the wet concrete dust, should I be using it with the foam sleeve (for liquid...

Thanks guys I'll check out your products. If epoxy cracks, can I just roll over it with a new layer?

Hi Guys, I live in Los Angeles and we're known for earthquakes. Before my new coating gets cracks from earthquakes, I'd like your inputs on whether there's a coating out there that's flexible enough as to not cause cracks when an earthquake happens? Also, in terms of price and durability for a...

Thanks guys. Any particular thinset for the curb (paint it later on vs epoxy) or just the most inexpensive ones would do? I see there's fortified, etc... I heard something about using thinset with bonding agent so it'll bond better ?
