I knew I shouldn’t have moved away 20 yrs ago! Dang it!

sorry haven't posted in a while. work became a nightmare and lost track of time. I did look at the website and they did have some examples to work with. I'm going to look into the FB MP myself but think that it might be a bust as I'm not in an area that is heavy (or moderately heavy) in...

I like the industrial design look. Always have. My current desk is wood-ish. Thinking about maybe going with Aluminum extrusion desk. Does any have thoughts on using the 80/20 website to design it. I’m thinking 30” wide and 7’ long. Not sure about height. Needs cable management and...

Agreed about unevenness. I thought lumens was the standard as far as measuring an area being lit up for a certain purpose. Correct? I was looking at more lights again and I’m starting to think there’s not a lot of options if you’re tied into using an E26 fixture. Unless you use.a fan type.

Thanks everyone for the help! The handyman suggested the fan type as well. They are definitely popular. I’m going this weekend to see them and others. I’m glad I’m not the only one that has trouble with color as well. Unfortunately I’m not going to install the tube lights. I’m probably the...

Have a handyman coming over to do a few things (getting old blows) and one thing he is doing is putting in my new shop light bulbs I have yet to install in my porcelain light fixtures. I was going to put in porcelain light shades from a 1920 Railroad station but they will hit the car on garage...

I did finally get CDI 3/8 torque wrench last week. That’s been on my list for a bit now.

Been a dream of mine to get one…maybe someday!

Thanks to all that have answered. I will just stick to my fixed Koken’s

is the locking mechanism a ball detent or something else? I saw the 24T. Not really happy about that either. the Z-series 3/8 drive has 72T but doesn't lock? correct? I was going to purchase the Z-series (working in tight places) but looks like it's the only one that might meet my needs...

I’m considering by the flex head Koken ratchets 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 sizes. I want the locking versions if they have them. Anyone know about the features?

Thanks everyone! Great choices! Prices not great though. I was shocked to see the prices. Not sure how the CEO’s can keep a straight face when selling them. 😝

Can someone recommend a fender cover that won't scratch the paint (or at least minimize it)? would like to be to set wrenches, sockets, etc. on it but not an requirement. Just need paint protection and staying on the fender. Thanks!

In! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Everyone!

I venture into 1x6’s here recently but just 1x4’s are my go to boards
