    Thin But Wide Drawer Liner?

    Yep, same here. I got my liner from NSI as well. Excellent quality, and great pricing: https://nsimaterialsgroup.com/collections/tool-box-drawer-liner-material/products/tb-liner

    Rousseau Multitek Carts

    I purchased the one from Tekton when they clearnaced them out a few years ago. I have been quite pleased with it. Built like a tank for sure.

    Strut Spring Compressor

    I have the Jack-tech. I have done a couple dozen struts with it at least. Took a while to get the gist of it, but for car struts, I find it to be very adequate. I don't know that I would trust it for heavy duty stuff however. It sure has saved me a ton of time on strut assembles since I started...

    Cheap bulk source for cork liner

    It has been a long time now, but I had purchased a complete roll of 1/8" cork underlayment for my project. It was a bit fragile until installed, but hasn't given me any trouble since. It was similar to this, but from a different vendor I think: Cork Underlayment . It was cheap enough I thought...

    OK ... I give up. Where do you buy the garden hose nozzle that doesn't leak after a year or two? Take my money! I'm ready.

    I use the JD9-C from Green Garde. Paid $120 for it about ten years ago, and it is still working as it did on day one. You can get a rebuild kit for it for about $25, expensive I know, but I fully expect this thing to last the rest of my life... :D

    Quickjack Maintenance

    I have had a quickjack since about a year after they came out. I have been using superlube high viscosity PTFE instead of grease, and have not had any issues yet. Don't really expect I will have any either.

    Spray bottle for mineral spirits

    The only time I have to air up the sure shot cans is when I refill them with whatever fluid I am using. I usually on fill half way, and I have yet to have one air down on me. Some sit for months without being used... never an issue.

    Pella windows and doors

    I would avoid the Pella windows personally. I would much rather Anderson or Marvin myself.

    Quickjack Cautionary Tale

    Only time I have had an issue with the Quickjack shifting position (only an inch or two in my case, still scary though) as when I did not have the quickjacks parallel to each other when raising the car. I have lines on the floor now to make sure this issue never occurs again. I have been using...

    Looking for gift tool: Non-chinese made nail clippers

    Don't know that I can help you much in your quest, but my favorite nail clippers by far are by Seki. Made in Japan. I have not tried the no-mes ones, but I have tried many others. Good luck.

    Sump Pumps

    I also have four Z pumps (1 sewage, 3 sump) and have been pleased with them. I have all non float models however, and have been using electronic float switches from hydrocheck. I very much like their timed units, setup once and forget about them. They have worked flawlessly for the three or four...
