    Dewalt DWS780 12" SCMS + DWX726 Rolling Stand $350 - Amazon Promotion Screwup

    Re: Dewalt DWS780 12" SCMS + DWX726 Rolling Stand $350 - Amazon Promotion Screwup There should be a black tab on the right side that folds down to prevent this from happening. It is a bit of a nuisance, since you need to fold the tab up in order to get the storage pin to slide in to lock the...

    Microfiber towels 15pk $4.**

    The easiest test is if the towel grabs and holds on to things like leaves they are not safe for paint. Look at the materiel make up on the tag, you ideally want 25 to 30% polyamide. Korean made towels are almost always better. The best test that I have heard is if you rub the towel on the back...

    2017 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread

    True linesman pliers (meant for electrical work) will have a slight gap at the end. This is to ensure that you do not squish the wire conductors when twisting wire.

    Autogeek 25% off, no min. Free shipping

    Choosing a polisher is going to depend on how much you plan on using it and what condition the cars are in that you plan on using it for. For me I only really use mine one or twice a year to take care of my vehicles. Once you do a good polish / correction you shouldn't need to use it much after...

    Yeah, even at clearance prices there stuff was still overpriced. I did get some good deals on some speaker wire and D cell batteries.

    Radio Shack Closing - Parts Drawers

    I ended up paying $90 for mine that I got in 2015. They are nice for misc. parts that will fit, but they can't be used like a toolbox since the drawers have no bottom. The plastic tray rests on top and acts as the drawer. The slides are a decent size as well, just check them to make sure they...

    Wall Control Galvanized Pegboard on Amazon

    Pretty much just large wood screws and some wall anchors. Obviously it is a non issue for people that frequent this forum.

    Wall Control Galvanized Pegboard on Amazon

    I ordered a bunch from them a few months back. All the panels looked brand new, just didn't come with any mounting hardware. A few of the hooks had minor blemishes but you would only notice it if you were looking for it.

    2017 HD deals/sales/clearance thread

    I made one out of an old NiCad battery case and just soldered wire from the contact terminals to a female port that an old laptop charger I had could plug into. I cut a hole for the female connector port in the battery case and then held it in place with a bunch of hot glue. The laptop charger...
