+1 here......I like mine and its comfortable and works well

Nice score there! Gotta be exciting to win all those tools no matter the quality level. Enjoy!

Thanks for all of the input / suggestions. I will keep an eye on it and most likely replace it soon. House built in '96 and it prob wouldn't hurt to change that receptacle out for a new one.

I like 'em! Nice job.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions but here is something I didn't expect. just prior to pulling the outlet to replace it I figured I'd reset once again just to test it and whatta you know.........it holds and doesn't trip. So I leave all as is and will keep an eye on this. Anybody seen...

Is there a way to check if the outlet is bad, other than to change it out? Thanks

When I try to reset it seems to hold for about one or two seconds then trips, so I think there is power but not certain. I will check it out though. I had 2 refrigerators plugged into an outlet on this circuit but had unplugged them and still won't hold. Seems like something is tripping it...

Hi all- I have a GFI outlet that I cannot get to reset. I have unplugged everything I can identify as being on that circuit and still can't get it to reset. I haven't gotten too far along in my diagnosis just yet as I discovered this after being out of town for the weekend and arriving home...

Probably not too much pounding / hammering but maybe some from time to time. The last bench I built served me well but really was only used for light duty stuff. Some of the fine benches I've seen on this site look like they could hold up a submarine, but I really don't need that much. Just a...

Cool. I have read about both red heads and Tapcons (and will probably use them) as I think red heads may be overkill for what I am doing. Never used either but have read good things about both. Thanks for the input.

The wall is poured concrete. I cannot really tell how thick it is, but I was able to visit some new construction sites around town and the walls I saw there were 8 - 10 inches thick; I am guessing my wall is similar thickness. It supports a 2 story house so it has to be fairly thick. Not...

Thanks guys, for the replys. Will probably go and purchase a hammer drill and materials later this week and start the build sometime soon.

Hi guys- Hi guys- I searched for info in previous posts but really couldn't find anything that answered my question, so here goes: I am new to basements and want to build a workbench and plan to build it against a concrete basement wall. It may sound dumb, but can I drill into this wall to...

Hello All- Just moved to Alabama from Louisiana (Geaux Tigers!) and am new to GJ. Have been a member of the Jockey Journal for awhile now, but had not really spent any time on GJ. Good stuff here. Looking to learn as I pretty much build out my basement (never had one before) and garage...
