    Recommendations on Vehicle Dollies/Wheel Skates?

    I think you’ll be pretty happy with them. Compared to the other skates that HF has they’re much much nicer!

    Recommendations on Vehicle Dollies/Wheel Skates?

    I’ve got a set of the HF GoJack style and they’re pretty nice. I’ve got a car on them plus another I’ve moved on and off a few times with great success. The roll easily and work well, but be careful as they’re greasy as all get out on the main slider. Not sure if the originals are better that...

    Impact sockets

    I bought a 1/2 Gearwrench set from 8mm to 36mm no skips. Very much overkill and there’s likely a few in there I’ll never use but for like $120 or whatever I paid it was worth it to never worry about having the right size (deep) impact socket again. I don’t know if the newer GW sockets are only...

    When the deal is too good to pass up, but you don't really need it

    For me it’s cars or small engine projects that I end up doing this with. Diesel Mercedes are my particular weakness…

    Concrete slab Prep- Grading for 2" foam board help

    I was in a similar boat 6 months ago. I had road base as my grade and was worried that I wasn’t going to be flat enough. If I did it again I’d go With some sand as the final inch or so to make it a little easier to be flat. I had some ~1/2 low spots under the foam I think, but the concrete...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    The only saving grace on the trigger thing is that it only changes modes while in “neutral”, ie when the direction switch is in between forward and reverse. If it was always active that would be an absolute deal breaker for me.

    New Torque Test Channel Video Wrench Testing Video

    I just grabbed a set of SAE Overdrive after watching it last week. My local Ace was out of the metric so now I have to keep an eye out. The thing I’m really liking is the organizer. It takes up 1/4 of the space that my current setup does.

    Detached shop power overhead or underground question

    Have you (or your electrician) done a load calc? The 4 post lift is going to be a very periodic load. I’m not sure that you need the 400A upgrade unless you’re planning on running a fair bit of heavy machinery all at the same time or you are already nearly at capacity on your 200A service.

    Cleaning epoxy flooring

    I was really impressed with Stonhard too. I went with them for a urethane concrete product in my butcher shop. We are hard on the floor, pressure wash with hot water daily, use light acid based degreaser, etc. similarly, they came in and knocked out the floor in a weekend including grinding...

    Powering my detached garage

    We got to the right answers in the end and a few people (me and probably OP) learned some things along the way. I’d consider that a win!

    Powering my detached garage

    Agreed, and I appreciate the correction, just sayin that giving OP answers beyond just “this person is wrong” would probably be more helpful. Cunningham’s Law (“The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer”) strikes again. 3 hours...

    Powering my detached garage

    Nothing better than people telling you you’re wrong but not giving OP any helpful advice. Re-reading, it’s underground conduit (or conduit in wet locations, really. Interior conduit doesn’t count as wet typically) that Romex in conduit is not allowed. So looks like conduit it is. Good to know...

    Powering my detached garage

    Romex generally isn’t allowed inside of conduit. If you aren’t planning on covering with osb, Sheetrock, etc an inspector may want you to protect them somehow. My suggestion would be something like MC. Fast and easy to run, not terribly expensive, and would cover your use case. Downsides it is...
