I'd go for the upgrade on the standard wrenches first. Something polished that provides more leverage. These will also be shaped to provide more clearance on both ends of the wrench to better fit in tight spaces. If you haven't found a reason to upgrade some of what you already have, sometimes...

You are probably looking for something more accurate but the general rule of thumb I hear people using for garages is 50 BTU/square foot.

At first, as I was reading, I was thinking NO you can't use the thermostat located in your house for the heater in your garage LOL... but then realized what the question was. Yes, you can use your old house thermostat. Perfect use for it.

I have a set of metric offset Craftsman reversible, standard flat (not offset) non-reversible Gear Wrench, and a set of flex non-reversible Gear Wrench. I like the Craftsman reversible the best out of the 3. They feel more comfortable and if you just used them to loosen something, you know you...

I've been really happy with my Dewalt 3/8 cordless impact that I got about a year ago. Can't speak for their half inch impact but I would imagine it is a nice piece. I use the 3/8 mostly for working on our racing go karts and not so much for working on cars. The impact sees regular use and the...
