    Peerless Equipment 8701 Compression tester -- free

    I am getting rid of a Peerless Equipment 8701 compression tester. Don't know where I got it. Have moved it with me twice so far and will never use it. Was going to throw it away, but noticed it is Made in USA, so I figured I'd ask here in case anyone wants it. I know nothing about Peerless...

    Got a question about the spill proof funnel kits.

    I have the Lisle version. Very useful in getting rid of a pesky air bubble in the cooling system of my race car that would cause the top radiator hose to collapse and the temps to skyrocket. Well worth the ~25 bucks.

    Downsizing, losing Garage-mahal...

    Are we living different versions of the same life? I'm about to go through exactly what you went through. Currently in an almost 3 acre property with 26x22 garage, barn and shed for storage. This weekend we are moving to a house closer to civilization because of the wife. New garage is...

    HF Braun Slim LED Worklight

    I know I'm a month late..... One reason is the shipping challenges of products with Lithium batteries in them. Cheaper and easier to ship something with no batteries in it. In addition to the lower BOM cost of the Craftsman version which lets Lowes collect more profit.

    what is the best welder?

    I'll add another vote for the Miller MM 220. Yes it's expensive but it basically does everything in one reasonably sized box. Perfect for me as a DIY'er in my home garage. AC TIG is the feature that puts it above most other multi-process machines. If you plan to use AC, it's worth it. If...

    Karcher electric pressure washer opinions.

    If your Karcher has the proprietary bayonet adapter, I recommend buying an adapter to fit standard quick release pressure washer fittings. 10 bucks on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TX8RPZG/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I bought one to enable using my fancy foam cannon with my K2 and bought a...

    Jack Stand Recommendations

    Amazing that we got to the second page and no one mentioned US Jack. Not cheap but they are nice. A friend owns a set and i would pick then as my next set if I needed some. Made in USA. https://www.usjack.com/products/garage-jack-stands

    Thoughts on quickjack?

    Another happy scissor lift owner here. I won’t repeat what a bunch of other people said for details. But I’ll mention my summary: Quickjacks are a replacement/upgrade over a floor jack and jack stands. A scissor lift is a lift, just sized smaller, for those with limited ceiling height or a...

    Working under your lift - stand or sit?

    I have a mid-rise and I happily use a rolling stool when I'm under the car. Way way better than being on jack stands. I needed to replace the clutch on my race car and had to put it on jack stands since the mid rise won't allow you to drop the trans and I forgot how much it ***** to be laying...

    Best composite decking

    Zuri looked the best where we were deciding but they couldn’t produce the appropriate fire resistance documentation for our area. We ended up with Azek. Very amazing looking and has held up nicely in the two years we’ve had it. Made by the same company that makes TimberTech. It’s more...

    Deposit for working up quote?

    I was replacing an electrical panel and one of the electricians said he would come out but charged his hourly rate for the time he spent at my house. I thought this was fair because he was taking time away from another job he could be doing and getting paid on. He also had perfect 5 star...
