Works well on pulling certain types of wiper arms also. V/R Bogie

Very nice. I'm in the market for some. This makes me wish I had a lathe (which I have no room for). V/R Bogie

Lots of good advise here. I'll add this.... Read up on Christopher Schwartz. He's primarily a wood worker but there is some great advise in his writings/books on bench design. Height is a big deal not just for function but for comfort while working. For me, the right height falls about...

Buy a less expensive saw. Plenty make holes just like the Milwaukee ones at a lower price. Durability....well...use, abuse and material play big factors on any saw. Just curious, but what's the value of the dril got to do with the value of the saw? V/R Bogie

Glad hand adapter. Likely for filling tanks or testing brakes from a shop air source. Red denotes the emergency brakes. Blue would be service brakes. V/R Bogie

I've got the Bernzo 2200. Works very well, gas fill lasts through most jobs, though I never paid attention to how long it actually ran between fills. My kit also Carrie's a refill can so I never worry about running out. Easy to start and adjust the flame. I've recommended the same to some...

I'd use their self leveling sealant. Good to about 1/2" thick and 1-1/2" wide. Allows movement and seals up edges pretty good to prevent water penetration. Their concrete fix is pretty good too, but is only good for a max 1" crack. If yours isn't any wider than what you pictured it would be...

How deep is it? A gap that wide I'd fill with some cement or even pea gravel closer to the top. On top I'd use some backer rod then Sika or just the Sika onto of whatever you choose.to fill it up with. A gap that wide and deep I'd not just use backer rod and Sika. I'd be afraid it'd get...

I knew 3 of the 4 mentioned but have only ever needed to use the guage on the reverse if I was back stabbing. Never knew about the top tang being used to strip back the sheathing. My like I'd slip and open a bit of my fingers. Like many others, I'll stick with my strippers as a slightly...

Found one of those in a toolbox I inherited from my grandfather. It now resides in my tool belt. Been handy to have a couple times. V/R Bogie

Hit up a supply house near you (I rarely see this in the home centers unless they have a decent supply of metal studs). They should have 90° metal framing pieces that will work. It's often used for inside corners that lack framing to secure board to. Cuts with hand snips so its easy to work...

Broke a tool...sorta. I've had a corded Dremel 3000 for yeeeaaarrrs. 10 speeds, solid performer. Used it often. Today it decided that speed setting 2 is just as good as 10. Then 3 - 9 decided to go along with it a short time later. Still works, just gets a tad toasty running full tilt...

Stick with paper. It is stronger. Some of the premixed small tubs aren't all that great, some are good. If you mix up from dry you can make what you need and the rest wont go bad...as long as you store it dry. I've had stored premixed go bad over time and dry last years until I used it all...

Busy day. Helped a friend on his '05 F350. 2 previous owners ago it was a teen and he stripped the exhaust out and did a piss poor job installing a hood stack. The idiot cut the turbo up pipe waaaaay too short so the entire engine compartment not only got covered in exhaust soot but it also...

Always did horizontal to reduce vertical seems. Enough overlap on seams, sealed up good won't really matter. A 2-story home remodel near me just did almost all vertically....lots of tapped seems. I say do what is easiest for you as long as it's all sealed up good. V/R Bogie
