    Seems like a nightmare to pack up an entire garage. When is the last time you moved (your entire tools & garage) ?

    Over the course of my military career, and many PCS moves I can tell you this with absolute certainty...... I hate moving with the passion of a thousand burning suns I had to keep lean on everything, and was routinely buying "good enough for the next 1-2 years" type tools that I would flip...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    Is the M12 sequential charger for $59 worth grabbing? Also how good/bad is the inflator? I keep killing the "cheap" cigarette plug in ones.

    Which implement the most useful for hobby farm and polebarn build?

    A post hole digger and forklift attachment I'd say are a necessity. Backhoe's are always useful and likely going to be needed as a ballast while you work.

    Senville Initial Experience

    Personally if you're below freezing you probably want to get the standard cooling only mini split and then get a heater installed in the garage. They don't work efficiently below freezing.

    Klein - 20% off at HD with coupon code GOTYOURBACK

    Personally I prefer the Southwire NCVD over many other brands. Receptacle testers are a dime a dozen so get whatever's cheap. Agree on the rest and highly recommend the Klein Kurve version of strippers. I have the NM ones as well as the standard ones. By far the most comfortable I've used...

    Harbor Freight recalls jackstands that replaced the recalled jackstands.

    Well **** on a cracker they open it up to ALL HF jack stands and I had returned just the recalled ones the day prior. Guess next time I'm there (about an hour away) I'll return the other set I have.

    Long distance shop move. Sell and repurchase or move it all

    If someone tries to load a full toolbox into a truck/trailer they're a special kind of pants on the head retarded. I unloaded mine, pushed the empty box in, and reloaded it once inside. It wasn't loaded with tools either, it was loaded with paintings/artwork or other fragile stuff that needed...

    Different size baseboards?

    Having removed carpet and put in LVP I'd recommend you go with taller baseboards. There's a "ratio" of sorts in regards to baseboard heights and ceiling heights. I ended up repariing the drywall and re-using the builder grade special MDF just to keep costs down and get the job done faster. We...

    Klein - 20% off at HD with coupon code GOTYOURBACK

    I grabbed a new needle nose, cheap flush cut, and a magnetic 11-in-1 to try out. I didn't even think to look at hole saws, might have to check those out as well.

    Long distance shop move. Sell and repurchase or move it all

    I've moved a LOT with the military. ABF U-pack is the best option IMHO. Now as for your stuff here's my take. Welder - coin toss keep or sell. Depends on model, age, and your needs plaz - coin toss keep or sell. Depends on model, age, and your needs large bottle on single cart (near new) -...

    Harbor Freight recalls jackstands that replaced the recalled jackstands.

    I have one set that's affected, one that isn't. I'm seriously thinking about ditching both and just biting the bullet on getting quickjacks instead. Always wanted a lift, and they seem like a good option....albeit an expensive one.

    The Ridgid addiction thread

    13" planer Corded random orbital Gen 4x drill and driver Octane 1/2" impact (not the big dawg one) 18V flood/spotlight combo that can hook onto 2x material radio Haven't had a lick of trouble from any of them. Keep waiting for a good deal on the octane circular saw, jigsaw, and recip saw.

    Garage Cabinet depth

    I'm going to be building mine 10-14" deep. 18" is way too deep. You're only 6" shy of your bench or a base cabinet at that point.

    The Klein Tool addiction thread! :)

    Is the magnetic 11-in-1 worth getting? I've got the original version, and love it...except when I inevitably drop it and it pukes itself apart. Haven't had much issue with the bits pulling out in use, but mines only about 1.5yrs old. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using The Garage Journal mobile app
