This is definitely a great old thread that's been revived! I see that there's a few comments in there about cleaning up the old fasteners too with ultrasonic cleaners, etc. various different methods to get them cleaned up before reorganization. Just wanted to mention one of my most recent...

Looking awesome. Any updates?

Results are in - the Franklin Stud Finder is A+++ tool! I received my stud finder a little over a week ago now, so I've had the chance to use it many times in different applications. Hands down, undeniably PERFECT at precision stud finding EVERY TIME. Oh man, I love this thing. I am kicking...

I saw the reviews on Amazon after clicking your link and immediately I was intrigued. But after watching a review and unboxing video on Youtube, I'm not really convinced the whole setup is robust enough for my garage environment. The handle seems pretty flimsy and the bucket and spin wringer...

I use a squeegee too, but find that all the dirt, sand and road rubble during the winter causes the squeegee to work for $hi+ If there's enough water it will usually work OK, but most of the time it ends up loosing the contact with the floor and doesn't push all the water very well. But I do...

Excellent build, loving the detailed progress of it. You do some very nice work, you should be proud of this piece! Wow.. Quite the gift your buddy just GAVE you with all that pile of nice heavy angle iron! Score! :beer:

I would, but in the winter a hose is probably out of the question. And the contours of the slab aren't the best in the world so I will usually end up with pooling in areas I would rather it not pool in. I'm not really a huge OCD / neat freak about the garage but I do wanna keep it tidy and...

Just looking to see what everyone uses as a mop and bucket for the garage. My garage doesn't have a drain in it and unfortunately that leads to a nasty wet salty mess in the winter when the wifey pulls her car into my nice clean garage. :mad: I was looking at this one, plus a regular run...

I hear ya... I was on that fence myself but I decided better to have them both and when doing those exhausting stud searches overhead through thick surfaces I would pay who knows how much not to have stand there bent over backwards cussing at the ceiling hunting for those freaking studs. My...

What an excellent work space and man cave / apartment you have here. Very well thought out and nice attention to details. Don't fool yourself - you say your garage isn't as nice as many GJ'ers but I'm pretty sure yours has most of us envious! Love all the photos too, thanks for taking the...

Some great tips guys, thanks! :thumbup: Apologies for being lazy and just posting up the question when I shoulda known this would have been covered elsewhere. I think I was just at my wits end in the garage the other day screwing around with my Zircon POS and typed up a quick topic on the...

I'm sick and tired of my low budget Zircon cheapo stud finder giving me fits while I'm standing on a ladder with the #$&%^ thing over my head. :mad: What say you gents? Can you guys give me advice for finding a really good one that will solve this issue finally?

I completely agree with this statement about the room a press takes up for precious sq. footage. If you have a giant shop with plenty of room hey, go for it.. But if you're like most of us the room that thing takes up better make it worth it to have such a tool. I'd say this should be the...

I don't know if there's any way to easily answer your question unless we knew your budget. In the end, you can never have too big (that is for most of us with a humble budget!) and won't ever regret some extra room. Like one of the guys said above, your problem is solved with a 3 car, and...

Awesome place! The ultimate man cave. I really like that you opted for the white sheetmetal finish on the walls in the shop instead of drywall. Just seems like a much more robust choice in the long run for shop environment. Nice and bright / highly reflective too. Haha. Looks like we're...
