Thank you all for the insights. I think what I will do is attempt to color fill the markings on my current sockets and see how much that helps. I do want to pick up impact sockets in 3/8 and 1/2 drive but it’s not pressing so I’ll wait for them to go on sale

Those are spendy

Great answer, thank you. I’m getting a little older and considering replacing my old USA Craftsman sockets. The eyes aren’t what they used to be and I’m having a hell of a time seeing the size markings on them. Thinking about replacing with something that has easier to see sizes and thought it...

So I’m thinking, what’s the point in having a set of chrome sockets and a set of impact sockets? Wouldn’t it make more sense just to have a full set of impact sockets? It’s not lIke they wouldn’t work with your ratchets. Am I missing something or is having full sets of impact sockets AND chrome...

2 car. Approximately 22x25 Illinois. About 22x25. My main intent is to keep the garage above freezing, although it would be nice to be able to heat it up to 45-50 so it’s comfortable to work out there The main intent is to keep it above freezing

Are there any smart thermostats that will operate down to 35 degrees? I know our ecobee won’t go below 60

Wondering if anyone knows of a smart garage heater. I’d like something that I could program to turn on at 35 and off at 40, just to keep my garage above freezing. Then I’d like to be able to make it heat up the garage, preferably using an app, or better yet Alexa. Needs to be electric and 110...

I’m at the point where I can buy decent, mid-range tools and I’m replacing a lot of my old junk. I can pass all that old junk to my 24yo son now

Now you’re making me want to keep it instead of giving it to my son LOL

Thanks for all the help everyone. I was in the orange store today and needed to get my total over $1k to get 0%. Picked up a 22oz Milwaukee framer, 16 and 12oz DeWalts, a small tack hammer for the delicate work, a 4# mini sledge for persuasion, and a couple Milwaukee locking pliers just because...

Does it look something like this?

I dont know about the range circuit but I would unhook the range wiring from the breaker and run new wires to the garage. The 240 outlet will be used mostly for my table saw and maybe an air compressor. Possibly a small welder in the future. I dont know if 40a will be enough, that’s kind of what...

Can I pull the 40a range breaker and replace it with a 60 and run the appropriate wire off of that? My main breaker box is only 100a so a 60a breaker on there seems… weird

I need to get more power to my attached garage as it’s woefully underpowered right now (8 total outlets and 2 light sockets on a single 15a circuit). I only have 2 spots left in my breaker box which I’m trying to save for power when I finish the basement. I do, however, have 40 and 30 amp double...

I’ve got one of those. Old craftsman that’s done my persuading for 20 plus years
