Diamonds are much better than granite. Snap on are Diamonds and the other......... well, I'll let you figure it out. :LOL:

I have a Snap-On coil spring compressor, and one of the hardened steel washers cracked in two. I contacted Snap On to buy a replacement, and was told that replacement parts weren't sold, but they sent me a return label, and off it went. I got another back by UPS that appeared to be new, but...

I noted that Auto Zone has 2 different types of brake cleaner. AutoZone AZP-5GULV Non-Chlorinated VOC Brake Parts Cleaner 5gal AutoZone AZP-5GLV Non-Chlorinated VOC Brake Parts Cleaner 5gal Which is the better one to use? They are both the same price. I also found a pump ...

Thanks for bringing up this subject. I just ordered a Square D - QO250PSPD to install in my new panel.

A little over 20 years ago, I dug out a 2' stump with my BX22. I spent a lot of time working on it, and it would have been faster and easier to have it ground, but the tractor was new, and I saw it as a challenge.

I assembled mine outside, and when it came time to move it inside, it wouldn't fit through the door. I had to move it kitty corner to get it into the garage. I noticed that on some new models, the base plate was offset inward to make it a little easier. My garage door is 10' wide, and my lift...

I have a friend who is also getting up in years. He has a lot of specialized tools to repair transmissions, and those transmissions are from the 1950s. I suggested that he ID the tool with a tag saying what it is and what it does in a few words. That will help stop the head-scratching...

It is just the opposite for me. The new well is $10500 to drill 400 feet and the new septic was quoted at $30,000 last year. I don't know what it is going to be when we get around to having it installed. They should be here in 3 weeks to start drilling the well.

Around here, if you are on a municipal water supply, they can shut off the home's water at the street because both hydrants and homes are connected. The street valve is to stop your water supply if you need to do work between the street and the meter in your cellar, or if you don't pay your...

The Moen valves have a problem and have gone through a few incarnations of the original. I don't see where they can be mandated by an insurance company, but in today's world, who knows what an insurance company can pull off until they get caught.

I like the locks on the jackshaft opener, and since there is a provision for a second lock, I have added one. I also have a device that indicates when the door is open and beeps every 15 minutes to remind you. There are no outside handles on the door itself, and that alone will make lifting my...

The original one was correctly installed and then removed for the renovation. My question is about installing a new replacement heater. I am not going to buy a used one since I would have no idea whether it works properly. I could wait till the service part is back in stock and R&R the...

I loved Boraxo and used it for decades until it was discontinued. I only wish that I had taken the dispenser off the wall when I sold my shop in 1973.

A lot of people don't realize that your home stove comes with a bracket you screw into the wall, and when you push the stove towards the wall, it engages the bracket, which keeps the stove from tipping over when you pull out the oven rack. Dishwashers also have this same feature. The people...
