    Calling all garage door "EXPERTS" only

    I live near DDM, have bought and installed springs from them probably ten times or more, for my home and for the warehouse I used to work at. Contact them, give them your door info and they should be able to give you the right springs. They haven't failed me yet, even when door info was hard to...

    Help finding a specific ratchet.

    Does it have to be Craftsman, and does it have to be exactly the "right" ratchet? PowerTorque GM6146 by Edward Durbin, on Flickr"]Power Torque (sold at O'Reilly)[/URL] has a ratchet that looks similar. Not the same and not Craftsman, but maybe check it out and see if it works for you...

    Problem with crimp connectors

    I use the Titan crimper at work sometimes, it's not the best for the type of connectors you're using. You're better off with something like these. I use Dorman and Crescent brand and they work pretty much perfectly every time.

    Do you carry a pocket knife?

    Every. Single. Day. Since I was probably around 15, there is never a day that goes by that I don't have a knife or two with me, would feel naked without one. Currently it's this one... IMG_0730 a by Edward Durbin, on Flickr

    New Ingersoll cordless 1/2

    I have the 7150 at work and it's a monster. I haven't found anything yet that it won't break free. I'd love to have the new version with the light, but since this one was free I won't *****. I'd have to say for home use it's way, way too much, but for industrial maintenance work it's almost a...

    The Ryobi Tool Appreciation/Review Permathread!

    I love the sprayer and don't pay any attention to the pump running to be honest. If something like that bothers people then they're probably being way too sensitive, it's not a bother at all. I don't think it's that loud at all, and when you consider the pros of not having to constantly pump a...

    I'm looking for a small 8mm nut driver

    Looks identical to the tool on one of my camera tripods...Manfrotto Tripod Wrench Can't say I've ever lost one. In fact, when it seemed to be getting "loose" on the tripod leg I just warmed it with the heat gun and squeezed it a little tighter to make sure it wouldn't fall off. Years later...

    Teng Tools Giveaway

    The honesty of it is this: Of course you can add me to the list of people who want free tools, but apart from an honest review there's probably no way I'll buy other Teng products. Mainly because I haven't heard of them, also because 95% of the tools I use at work are free and I don't use...

    Air Hose Repair

    Flexzilla has reusable fittings, I have them on my air hose at home and like them way better than barbed fittings and hose clamps. I don't know if they'd work for other brands of hoses but they work perfectly for Flexzilla hose. Easy to install or remove, and no parts to get snagged on stuff.
