    M12 Inflator does not meet all claims

    The M12 inflator has its niche point, and that is maintaining or topping off pressures in normal vehicle/bike/wheel barrow/etc. tires. Not as a tool to inflate a large truck tire from flat... I love mine. One of my vehicles has a slow leak in its RF tire...about once a week I grab my inflator...

    Garage security?

    Nexx Garage. As long as its compatible with that opener, the wifi connection might work. Plus you can take the device with you when you leave. No permanent install.

    HA HA!! 12 years later

    Not tool related, but... I graduated high school in 1983. My parents were not wealthy at all. but they bought me a class ring, in 10 karat gold...because I actually was on the honor roll a lot and only one of two of the four kids that graduated high school. Anyway, one day in 1983 or 1984...

    500$ your wife doesn’t know about.

    I would spend $500 on 1) Storage (on wall cabinets for garage) or 2) Workbench or 3) Milwaukee cordless backpack vacuum and more batteries or 4) Really nice non-gas pressure washer or 5) Just walk around HD or HF and I'd find lotsa tools I don't need but want. No marriage advice here. But my...

    Impact Socket question - any issues with ratchets?

    No issues if you've got the clearance and don't mind the weight. For years I only had chrome sockets. Then in about 2005 I decided to use a 3/4 Craftsman chrome socket on my B&D electric impact to tighten some lugs. Socket broke, shards hit me in the arm and the impact wrench ended up gouging...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Re: FIOS/5G. I absolutely loved FIOS/4G when I had them through Verizon. But when they sold the network to Frontier it went downhill very fast. Not only did the service suffer (outages etc. and longer lead times for repair), but the sales and renewal people were downright sketchy. I came up...

    Let's talk.... microwaves?

    I had a mid 80's Sharp Carousel until about 3 years ago. Starting around the year 2000 we kept replacing it with something newer and supposedly better...but when it invariably died about a year after purchase, out of the shed would come the old Sharp. We use microwaves in my house A LOT...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Impulse bought a heated hoodie the other day. Was looking around on CPO Outlet and came across it during their 15% off $100 sale. I also had a $15 credit related to another purchase. So ended up paying $70 and change. I have a soft spot for Milwaukee, another soft spot for zip up hoodies...

    Wire a Dremel tool to turn the other way?

    Cutoff wheels hurt when they break apart and hit you in the face!! Just happened last Friday. Was cutting off a threaded rod. I'm right handed... Rod in vise sticking out the right side. Me on stool in front of vise. Dremel (actually Milwaukee cordless rotary tool) in right hand. Just as...

    Post your Garage Cat here

    Not much of a picture guy but I'll try and get a shot of my two and post em. Mine are not really garage cats as they are both indoor only...but Patches - as the name implies is a black and white patchwork short hair. He was a stray that a neighbor friend of mine found in her yard in early...

    Dremel?

    My dremel is 24 years old. Still works perfectly. I've used it a fair amount too. But since mine is corded, I recently upgraded(?) to a Milwaukee cordless rotary tool. The model you are looking at is one that I would be interested in if I wasn't all invested in Milwaukee cordless.

    All this work and she says "it's only a garage!"

    I think the point here is that she is still just the fiance'. So, if she was "the one" she would be feigning excitement for your sake at least at this stage in the relationship. Because I would guess that "most" men would at least feign excitement about something his fiance' was excited about...
