Tell her outside

The ikea here in Orlando has a "handyman's corner" where you can pick up some items for upwards of 90% off due to imperfections. I grabbed a $40 floating shelf (6.5'L x 12"D) for $6 because it had a gouge on the BACK that butts up against the wall. It worked perfectly for my sons room to put...

I built my own, kind of like these. http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=284607 Mine are a bit wider and a bit longer. I also put a stop at the top so I could use the highest "step". Of course, these are really best for low ground clearance vehicles. There isn't enough room to fart...

I had a box of the light blue nitrile gloves from HF last year, they performed nicely through all vehicle mods and maintenance. I encountered a few rips but there are some things gloves like this just can't hold up to. I have a box of the black ones now, haven't had to open them up yet though.

Interesting

It was a tough choice but ultimately I decided to go with the Milwaukee. It came in today and I am pretty happy with it so far. The charger is gigantic but I am really enjoying the option of having AC/DC charge capability right out of the box. I appreciate all the input/opinions you guys posted up!

What are your thoughts on the products? I appreciate all the opinions, its still a tough choice. I'm going to skip on the Ridgid. That is about the only thing I have figured out so far. :lol: I have been to the store almost everyday of the week to get a feel of the Dewalt, Makita and Milwaukee...

I think Hitachi was the only one of the bunch that doesn't offer a radio. I didn't see one on the site anyway, may have missed it. Milwaukee seems like it is the only one of the pack that offers a SMALL radio. At $100 though, that is pretty crazy. I just need a small radio that will last so...

I have had a Kawasaki (Alltrade) 21.6v drill for about 2yrs now, it did its duty pretty nicely around the house. However, I will be doing a lot of mobile installs (GPS) in the near future (new job w/ AT&T contract) and I need something new that will last a full work day. Nothing too crazy, 3/4"...

Nice avatar. :thumbup:

I picked up this craftsman hydraulic stool a couple of years ago on clearance http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00961828000P?vName=Gifts&cName=AllDads&sName=Grandfather&sid=IDx20070921x00003a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=00961828000P I had to modify the back posts (just drill new holes) so...

Price matching in the store isn't using online though, so they would really be stretching their wording pretty far at that point if they tried to tell you that you could not stack.

Retractable garage door screen is the answer, imo

30' in the garage http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=47738&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName= I have a 12' Task Force in the house and a 16' in my truck.

It's actually a lot more pink than the photo shows. My daughter let me borrow it until I find a new one :lol:
