Thanks for the great ideas, I really like the milk crate cart idea as well, also very nice bench Bessy, I will be borrowing some ideas from that bench as well. It may be slow, but I will try and post some pics of my progress.

Just a pesky Millennial looking for some ideas here. Maybe I am just trying to justify being lazy, but after being in our house almost 8 years I still can't get my garage organized. A little background... I live in a regular mid-western subdivision house with a 2-car garage. I have quite a...

Looking to buy a M12 Fuel 1/2 Stubby impact (2555) bare tool. What is the best deal, it doesn't seem like it's an item that goes on sale by itself.

I really like this approach.

Very good idea, this is something I never put much stock into, now I have a bunch of paper weights with handles.

You're right, I was a little generous with the word "Legacy" these will be tools to put in their tool box and be used, not a generational gift to pass along. I will have a few of those generational gifts to pass along as well, but they tend to go BANG.

Maybe a bit of a dramatic title but I am looking for some help/ideas. I have two sons, they are toddlers now, but I plan to sock away some hand tools every year and gift them to them when they move out. I am shooting to spend about $100 a year on tools to pack away for them. I am sticking to...

Ok, so I guess they are scrap metal? That is sort of surprising since I saw these being used everyday in a tire shop and these are the only two that I ever saw fail but hey a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Also, can you please let me know which screw adjust what. I assume since there are 4 screws these jacks have a rapif pump feature?

My first job when I turned 16 was working at Discount Tire Co. One day we were cleaning the shop and they were going to throw away two floor jacks that did not work, I volunteered to lead the throw away efforts :D:. Well 11 years later I am tired of my my cheapo floor jack and I thought I...

My grandfather recently passed away and so the family is going through his belongings. I have a weak spot in me for any old tools especially if they are heavy :-) Well here is an old compressor that I got my hands on, if you look closely in the pictures the patent date I believe is 1925. It...

I think i'm leaning towards renting a mixer and doing it myself. I just need to price raw materials vs bags. Seems that bags would take the guess work out. 6 cu ft tow bwhind mixer is only $50/day. I think my dad and I could do that in a day or two at the most.

I have a concrete driveway that is not the most robust. Plenty for a fifth wheel or motorhome, but a concrete truck is a little different. The other path would be through the are of the yard that has a leach field in it. By my math: 11" Deep x 22" Round = 4182 cu in 4182 cu in x 18 poles =...

Looking to build a pole barn to store an RV in. After recently being made aware of the updated code requirement here in Ohio, I have come to realize my post holes are BIG! 22" Diameter with 11" of poured concrete in the bottom. This adds up to a good bit of concrete, (close to 2 yds) and my...
