    Blue print File cabinets at auction Oklahoma

    I have a double stack of drawers (10 drawers total) and they are great for inexpensive tool and part storage. On Wednesday night I moved them from storage to the new shop and holy **** are they a pain to move by yourself. Make sure you have some help when you pick them up. You'll also want to...

    Who uses Flat files/Blueprint files for tool storage ?

    I have two of them with five drawers each that I was given from a previous employer. They are not the best for storing everyday use tools but I do use them for odds and ends that don't have a home in the regular box. Plus it lets me sort things a little better because of the size. One drawer...

    If you go to the Milwaukee tool site you can look up the parts diagram for the exact drill based on the model and serial number. It does show a side handle and nose ring was available. Part number 49-15-0200 is still available. http://documents.milwaukeetool.com/54-08-2126.pdf...

    Enlarging a Large Hole

    Get a hole saw of the correct size, drill a hole with it in a piece of 3/4" plywood or mdf and then clamp that to the backing plate centered up on the existing hole. The plywood will hold the hole saw in the correct position without the pilot bit.

    Tankless water heater

    I agree with lotsoftools and barks. When I design little tenant finishout projects with remote sinks in the warehouse I like to go with 120V 6 gallon water heaters as opposed to Chronomite instantaneous water heaters. They are cheaper, require less power/wire size and are plenty big to serve a...
