    PSA: Use All Available Safety Equipment

    Best friend in college died when doing a clutch. Stabbed the transmission in, and it was enough to rock over the jackstand and crush him. It's a sober reminder that our hobbies have the ability to kill us at a moments notice.

    “ Mid Priced” Box

    All I've got stored under the top at the moment, is a 50" saw guide. I'm still in the process of filling and organizing it.

    “ Mid Priced” Box

    I bought this box about a month ago. I would have prefered the fixed top model that is gloss black, but the store had this one in stock. I wanted double slide large drawers, which some of the other Husky models didn't have. The textured finish is a dust magnet, but other than that I like it...

    Time to buy an impact wrench. Air or Battery powered?

    I tore apart an old Dana 60 a couple months ago, and there were a couple fastners that my 1/2 IR impact wouldn't budge, but my 18V Milwaukee spun them right off.. After seeing that, I very rarely use pneumatic impacts any more

    Quality air tools?

    I have an IR 3/8" that I've used a handful of times. But after getting a Milwaukee M18 90* impact, and high torque impact, about the only reason I air up the compressor anymore is to blow stuff off and air up tires.

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    I bent them up out of abs, and then installed them with rivnuts. ABS works pretty easily with a decent heat gun.

    Hose bib in garage.

    This is exactly how I did mine. I had a 4ft tall half wall, so the bib is alittle higher than normal. At first I didn't know if I liked it, but after using it for a summer, I like the fact that I don't have to bend over all the time to turn it on and off. I was lucky enough to have a water...
