The house I bought last year was almost all carpet except for entrance, bathrooms, and kitchen. So far I have replaced all the bedrooms with LVP, I love the look and feel of it. I got kids so spills do not worry me in the least. The bathrooms got big 16 x16 inch vinyl tile that I grouted...

I'm a millwright so my hand get plenty dirty. I use a more preventative approach. I use a barrier cream after every coffee. The dirt sticks to the barrier cream pr-88 and it comes off with just water. And clean hands after!

Wow that some serious quality stuff there. Some of it may not look like much but that is some good precision tools.

Journeymen millwright for me working at a plywood mill. I'm working on the weekends doing preventative maintaience and anything else that broke on our veneer lathes during the week. Every weekend is different, probably my favorite part of my job.

Spead open the jaws on my mastercraft 5/8 wrench on a stubborn nut on a threaded rod. That's about it for me in my 5 years of industrial wrenching.

This is gonna be like my garage when I build but I'm going with a 24 x 24. It's gonna be simple, cheap, and generic looking but it will be awesome to have a decent space to work on my stuff.

I went to my first auction sale last year and like someone was saying, bidding makes people dumb. Watching a bunch of farmers bid over a pile of rusty burning barrels full of holes is literally the funniest thing I have ever seen.

My snap on sae hex set has a green case.

Thanks! I've actually been to princess auto a couple times but not in a while. But now I know what hf is!

Totally off topic (Kinda) but I'm canadian and don't know what harbor freight is? It sounds like a big walmart of crappy tools buy I'm not sure. Any Canadians on here know of a comparable store that I would know?

I do weekend maintainence at a plywood plant and my milwakee cordless, 3/8 and 1/2 inch, have became my main impacts. I still have a good cp air impact but unless I'm gonna be rattling bolts all day long I will just grab my cordless. Just easier.

Anti seize is awesome stuff for stuff you take apart regularly. There are several places in our mill where big bolts are run on and off several times a shift and without some kind of thread lubricant the threads will not last. I use it everywhere because many things I maintain need constant...

We use hydraulic hose and fittings on air cylinders/systems all the time. They hold up a lot better in severe duty environments. You should be okay.

Well I just got my jman ticket last year for millwright so now starting tommorow I got a 1st year apprentice to be the shift millwrights at the plant. I always had a jman above me to guide me through stuff if I had problems but now its just me. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Seems...

Use a barrier cream when handling oils, grease ect. These new synthetic oil can be cancerous. I put barrier cream on after every break and my hands stay clean and protected from these new oils. I use the yellow stuff pr88? tell your shop foreman to get some.
