The exact same thing happened to my parents after they bought a generator. A huge ice-storm hit the midwest and knocked the majority of people's electricity. My parents were heating their house using the fireplace and by the fifth day my dad was over it. Went out and bought a generator, got...

I really appreciate the help, the first single pole switch having three wires was really causing me some confusion. I think it all makes sense now though, hopefully. Does this seem right? First switch Black Red (White not connected) Second switch Black is shared to power first switch White...

I'm having a bit of an issue where I thought I took a picture but it didn't save and now I'm not sure how two of my light switches were wired. These are the wires in the double ******** box. Mudroom Light - Single Pole Light Switch Red White Black - Hot Garage Light - 3-way Light Switch...

I agree 100%. I sold on eBay for 12 years and stopped selling on there 3 years ago due to dubious buyers. I had sold almost a thousand items and then in the month of December 2016, I had 4 buyers report my items not as described (3 with paypal and 1 with eBay). I'm a Graphic Designer so the...

Here is what I got, I don't think it was off everything.

I thought about ordering the 72" but after unloading my 56" box, I was so glad I went with a 36" and 56". The nice thing about the 36" box is that is has a lot of thinner drawers on the top and bottom chests. Glad it worked out for you, it's a nice piece.

You're correct.

I have 2 of the older style black 36" tops and bottoms and a 56" one that slid underneath my gladiator work bench. All are the exact same build quality. I have a 5'x8' utility trailer with the larger 15" rims and remember it sagged a lot with the 56" cabinet loaded on to it. I couldn't imagine...

Re: ★★★ voice your opinion on the hot deals forum ★★★ There should be sub-threads as others have mentioned for the major sellers. I hate how everything is compiled into one thread of endless pages. Some discussion about the item specifically stated should be okay because sometimes fellow...

I've been watching this too and somehow missed it. I have an Ingersoll-Rand 2130 that is 6 years old and it coupled with some Kroil have been able to break loose 95% of the bolts on my vehicles without snapping them.

Luckily my attached garage has a cove in it where I have my shop built into it, if I need to do some serious work on one of my vehicles, I just back one of them into the driveway to get some extra room. I never leave my cars outside but all my neighbors never park in their garages and some of...

I bought this two weeks ago from them. It was 65 minus the 10% which at the time was the best deal I could find online. I have been looking for a cart like this for a quite some time. I really like it. It's great for holding my shop manuals, tools, and bolts while doing engine work. I got the...

Do you fellow garage journalers recommend the original Kroli or the one with silicone? Also, I work on my own vehicles and live in the rust belt. Do you guys recommend picking anything else up?

Thanks for the heads up; missed it in the weekly ad. I purchased two rolls last week so I stopped by and got a price adjustment. Cashier was super nice about it and even said oh wow that's quite a price difference. I usually have a great experiences at Menards.

I reach for and use my midsize sockets the most. I almost didn't end up buying them because I have deep and standard socket heights. They're my go-to sockets.
