    Reciprocating saw (Sawzall) ergonomics and vibration

    I have had a corded Super Sawzall for years. When I was first doing carpentry work, I picked up a Masterforce cordless kit, that included the brushless reciprocating saw. Losing the cord was great, but if I had serious work to do, I grabbed the old Super. Last fall I swapped from MF to...

    Suggestions for light/medium duty steel toe work boots in $150-200 range

    I used to get a wide variety of different work shoes, but would always run into issues with the soles breaking down or other wear-related issues in 9 months or so. Boot allowance was annual, so I would suffer until the eligibility rolled over. About 4 years ago I transitioned to Keen, and have...

    Best miter saw stand

    I concur with your assessment. I schlep mine to job sites. I take it off the stand to load into the truck. This weekend I only needed it to cut a few boards, so I left the stand at home and set the saw up on my tailgate.

    Making a refrigerated compressed air dryer-crazy thoughts?

    I just did the oil cooler aftercooler on my setup. I remote mounted the cooler above my compressor room, and will have a box fan start when the compressor runs. I haven't got the wiring done yet on the fan, but I can hold the tube going into the tank with my bare hand when it is running. I...

    Can you get one ultrasonic cleaner for everything or need different styles?

    I just run water in mine, and put everything to be cleaned in separate containers. The tank never gets dirty, and I use far less solvent/cleaner. I also will run jars with different chemicals simultaneously.

    Need Help building bike rack from Fabricators and CAD guys

    What about a dual hitch mount? https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Adapters/Roadmaster/RM-077-6.html?feed=npn&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1338935271&gbraid=0AAAAAD_vMtlbykVirDUbl0UE4smpOzEmI&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2_TQBhCnARIsAF3-Xhy0YbMoIXlSxuIi0JaSHbc-k4sPL2ugSTg4BI3rU-00XMxe-hftcPsaAi_YEALw_wcB

    Thoughts and advice on getting an air compressor

    Sanders, cut off tool, blasting, powder coating, impact, blowing stuff off, plasma cutting, pneumatic nailers, tire changer etc. I use the **** out of my compressed air. My compressor is 20 years old this year. New pressure switch and check valve as of this year, but outside of that and regular...

    What piece of equipment to buy first?

    I have a small Allis forklift in my 30x60 and don't plan to get rid of it. I use it more than I thought I would for loads beyond the capacity of most skid loaders. Hard tires, so no off-roading, but I have put down 3/4" ply on the occasion that I have needed to lift something in the lawn. Is it...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I still have and use the Pittsbugh I purchased 20 years ago as well. I grabbed the Daytona on a great sale for lower cars and the extra lifting capacity.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I have the Daytona long-reach, low profile, 3 ton jack. I would recommend. The pedal to get up to the load is great, and the lift height was slightly higher than all of the others.

    Been waiting for someone to test the Astro pneumatic slide hammer and here it is.

    Thinking about it more, it essentially moved the fulcrum back and spread the pressure out. Moving the fulcrum back gave it more travel, so nails would typically come out with one pull.

    Repurposing Wood from large antique Dining Table (veneered)

    Nobody wants anything, yet you can't throw it away? I would be leaving it where it sits instead of inheriting material I can't use. Then again, I inherited three generations of things I am not using, and I am 3 years deep on slowly getting rid of it all.
