    Whats the best flashlight under $15 shipped?

    Someone on here recommended the Romisen RC-G2 II when I was looking. I bought one and loved it until I left it in a car. I then ordered 2 more just in case I lost the next one. Its pretty bright, durable, and the right size. I think the pen lights are too small to hold. It's $11.80 with free...

    My New 14'x30' Garage built at school

    Thanks guys, I still have the Camaro, it's a fun little toy. The garage looks pretty much the same, except there usually is 2 cars packed in there and a few more parts. I decided not to turn it into a work shop as I will be graduating this spring and selling the house, so I didn't feel it was...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    I needed a box for a an airbrushing class I took, so I used one of my dads old beat up boxes. I am unsure the brand, as there was no readable markings on it before I stripped it.

    E-tek tests paint-on rust products

    I used Por-15 on the entire underside of my 69' Camaro when I restored it. It holds up great and is rock hard when finished. The only places I had trouble is were the metal was perfectly clean and I applied it, but it's expected as it wasn't prepped per the instructions and not really is...

    My New 14'x30' Garage built at school

    Here is a price breakdown of everything, I wish I knew how to paste a nice excel thing in, but this should work fine. It actually cost slightly less than what I posted, but maybe after I filed for the variance, paid for a building permit, put some gas in the truck, and bought some lunches for...

    My New 14'x30' Garage built at school

    Here are the pictures of it finished up Overall it was a great learning experience for me. It's not 100% perfect, but its the nicest looking garage within a couple blocks. It cost about $4,500 total, with about $1000 of that being for the slab. I don't remember too many of the details of the...

    My New 14'x30' Garage built at school

    My dad came up to help with the framing. We went ahead with 24" spacing for the studs. We got it fully boxed in the first day so we could put all our materials inside and not have to worry about them walking away. To try and keep the cost down, we made our own rafters instead of buying...

    My New 14'x30' Garage built at school

    I am in college right now which is a few hours away from home and hate not having a place to work or tinker. So I decided to add a garage to the back of the property with the help of my father and roommates. I go to a technical college and my roommates just so happened to be in the construction...

    darkroom help

    I took a photography course in high school and we had a pretty nice darkroom setup, but unfortunately they decided that film was too out of date and I took the last class before they remodeled the dark room into a video studio. I graduated in 2008 so it was only a few years ago.

    Tools for work....

    I worked at a Honda deal for a little while as a lube tech and I used those pliers 99% of the time. Occasionally I would use this little adjustable filter socket by lisle or mac, comes in 2 sizes I think. Nice as it has springs to hold the jaws closed, rather than those 3 jaw ones which almost...

    Is there any real need for 1/4" drive, if you aren't working in tight situations?

    Re: Is there any real need for 1/4" drive, if you aren't working in tight situations? A 1/4 drive set is a must have, but not the main choice, at least for me. I have my basic 1/4" drive sets with a couple extensions and universal joints, but I really only occasionally use them for small...

    Compressor debate. Kobalt vs. Husky

    I know you can't step it up to the 220, but this is the Kobalt compressor I have, only listed for $40 more. I have had it for almost 3 years now without any problems, probably use it a few times a week with impact gun, cutoff, air ratchets, and paint gun...

    Snap-On Remote Patrol / E-Lock

    Did you ever find any information about this? I recently purchased one of these boxes and am curious as well. I took the module out of the bottom box as I was curious of how it worked and easier to tinker with.
