    Buying and rebuilding used gas power tools?

    Why not buy used stuff that doesn't need any work? I've bought all my Lawn equipment used on Craigslist/Facebook sites. Save yourself the trouble and just get used stuff that works fine. People sell their old stuff when they upgrade or when they don't have a use for it anymore. It will save you...

    Looking for about 40 Inch Tool Box

    I think a used Snap on KRA 4107 is the right answer here. I'm a professional dealer tech and have worked out of mine for 9 years everyday with no issues. It's not as nice as a KRL but it's definitely a league above the homeowner boxes you'll find in a big box store. I've considered getting one...

    Little FixIt Shop

    Great garage! It has a very cool look and you have some great organizational ideas. Even a smaller garage like yours can be just as impressive as some of the mega garages on here.

    Two car garage too small in new home ?

    I recently bought a house with a pretty standard 2 car garage. I think it's a 24X24'. I also have a shed for all the yard equipment and **** like that. Even with all that, My garage really works best as a 1-car garage with a "work area". I like having space to move around while I work on things...

    Urban Archeology: Garages and Workspaces in Virginia and the Carolinas

    Hopefully these pictures work... Here's some pics from up north that are relevant to the thread. There is a machine shop near my parents house in Kennebunk Maine that has been abandoned but the building still remains. A guy converted an old commercial truck into a food truck and sells seafood...

    Thoughts on this Lowe's cordless tool set?

    So I was drilling some holes in the frame of my '54 Ford the other day, and my ancient, cheapo drill crapped out on me. So I'm looking for a replacement and my buddy recommended this...

    Auto Tech must have tools?

    I think it really depends on where you work. I'm at a dealership and we are on "team pay" where 4 of us split all our labor hours evenly. Sharing tools is tolerated a lot more in that situation, as long as you bring back people's stuff and don't damage it. And many of our specialty tools and...

    This a great thread! I need to get back up to Richmond sometime and check things out. Have you ever done any exploring in the Hampton Roads area or Gloucester county?
