5 years of wear and tear, I just saw my workbench (a couple posts up) for the first time in a couple of years lol. Upgraded the compressor to a Champion and mounted it on the loft (temporarily until I can build a shed for it....3 or so years agol) Racedeck gave up its luster years ago. It...

It's cheaper to put in tubes, but easier to just buy foam filled tires. They're increasingly popular, and you should be able to find them at just about any lawn and garden center.

Just traded my Solus Ultra in for a Solus Edge. Free promotional Euro software and adapters, right at upgrade time made it a no brainer. The Edge boots and loads so much faster, plus with WiFi and Suretrack right on the scanner, it can be a real time saver.

It's just easier to run 12/3 romex... But yeah, if you're on a 20 amp breaker, you need 12 gauge.

I hate to jump the gun, but it's most likely your circuit board. After 3 years of flawless operation, mine went 2 weeks ago. Mine was visibly scorched behind the ignitor. Customer service shipped out a free replacement right away.

Bust *** the next 2 months so the check will clear...

Buyer Beware! Items show in stock, when they are actually drop shipped from manufacturer. "Free" Shipping vanishes during final checkout, and actual charges expose exorbitant shipping fees. Estimated shipping times are completely bogus, and refunds are next to impossible to get. Just try to...

I installed my Lochinvar Knight boiler along with a Squire indirect 5+ years ago and have zero complaints. The heat exchanger looks the same from the pictures, but I only tend to research when I'm in the market. At the time, the Knight was my only consideration for a condensing, modulating boiler.

I leave mine on as a reminder that I should have spent the extra $600 for an Epiq. A deal that likely won't repeat :lol_hitti

I have the hydraulic flare kit: http://www.tooltopia.com/mastercool-71475prc.aspx and the Harbor Freight hub puller kit. I have never actually found much use for the hub kit, other than using the plates on the press lol. There's not a single case of all of the press in bearings where I would...

Quote high, and adjust down when done. If nothing pops up, customer walks away cheaper than the quote, happy. If Murphy's Law prevails, customer "gets a deal" since there's more parts and roughly the same total bill, and is happy. The best customers are the ones that understand ****...

Has anyone used these brands as well as the harbor freight reel? I have 2 from HF and haven't had an issue other than damaged hose ends. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem paying top dollar when it's worth it, but I can't see how those are worth 3-5 times the amount of the HF ones.

I use mine - 1/2 to 3/8, 3/8 to 1/4 when measuring rotational torque on pinion installs.

http://store.snapon.com/Workstation-Accessories-Rack-Power-Tool-P649385.aspx I have mine hanging on the inside of the door on my docker locker, but it could hang off the cart (it just wouldn't fit in the locker if I did). It's adjustable, which is nice. I don't know that I'd pay retail for it...

Heavy degreaser. Zep, Purple Power, Awesome - dump right on the worst spots, hot water mixed with degreaser and a deck brush. It works best if/when you can take the garden hose to the floor and get rid of all the residue. Deposits on the edges happen, but hosing things clean helps. I'd...
