Yeah, three different sections make blowing in insulation a pain in the *** especially that small blocking that’s about 2/3 of the way up the wall. If it was me, I would just tear open the walls and put Rockwool in there. Then do the ceiling. I know it’s not going to be super cheap to have...

Pictures would help but your going to spend a lot of money on energy with no insulation. Don't take this the wrong way but someone with an attached 6 car garage can likely afford to get insulation and won't get much sympathy complaining about the cost. James

I don't understand the attacks on Tekton. They at least try and make some things here. Also they are very upfront on where every item they sell is made as shown at the end of this post. Who else does that? I have a set of the metric crowfoot wrenches and they are very nice. I also have a large...

1st garage not getting a jackshaft opener and a lift sooner. 2nd garage I built last year no regrets. I learned from the 1st. James

Summer update: My original purpose on the mini-split was to heat my garage quietly and efficiently this past winter. The Fujitsu did a great job of keeping it at 64 degrees all winter long. Initially I never really thought about the cooling aspect. On Sunday I set it to cool for the first time...

Congrats on the new lift. James

Did you do a Moh test on the pliers or are you merely speculating while you rant? What does "feel beefy" mean exactly? I have the Milwaukee made in USA diagonal cutters, linesman pliers and needle nose. I wanted to try them out as I appreciate any company trying to do any USA sourcing. I have...

The small wheels on that rear stand are your main issue. Just get another Pit Bull for the rear. James

I’m specifically looking at large vacs as shown below. It’s on a wheeled stand for the most part. You don’t carry it around in normal use. James

I've been able to find the Vacumaid threads but it's crickets on the large Milwaukee stuff. The problem with the Vacumaid is you either have to get a $300.00 reel or just leave the hose hanging on that mount they have plus it takes up a lot of wall space and you need a separate thing for wet...

Agree. James

The big problem most people have is putting solder directly on the iron. They just end up wwith a giant puddle. That's why I suggested the OP put the iron on the bottom of the wire and feed the solder from the top. James

I have the supercharger, two Forge 12.0's and six Forge 8.0's already. The 12 gallon purchase would give me two additional Forge 12.0's. I guess I could just buy it from HD and return it if I don't like it but it would be nice to get some real user thoughts. It appears that not many on here have...

First off don't trust "AI" for anything. There are plenty of threads on here regarding lifts. The search bar is your friend. I've never understood why anyone would buy a no name lift. Why cheap out on something your standing under with thousands of pounds above you? You will find many satisfied...

You have already received some good advice. I would do it in this order: 1. Remove old solder and wire remnant by using a solder sucker or wick 2. Strip and tin each wire with enough bare to get through the hole and a little extra. 3. Tin the hole. 4. Make sure tinned wire fits through hole. 5...
