    Overseas Jack Rebuild Help Tutorial.

    Great to read this thread! Is there any troubleshooting activity still going on in here? I'm looking for some help with a quick-lift floor jack that appears to have developed some problems with the quick-lift functionality. I haven't found any source of information on how this mechanism...

    New hinges and garage door struts

    All, I'm in the process of installing the Green Hinges in my recently heated 900 sq ft garage. I was able to install them on my 8' door, no problem. They did a remarkable job at stiffening up the door against the outdoor seal. I went to install on my 16' Clopay door and noticed that it has...

    Starting my garage project - heat and insulation (door)

    All, I'm an automotive enthusiast and I love spending time in the garage, and I'm going to be starting my garage project to get my space fully functional. For background, I have a 900 sq ft 3-car attached garage in a house built in 2008 (well built, I might add). I'm located in central PA. I...

    Am I crazy with this Craftsman warranty issue?

    This was my first sour experience a couple of years ago. Brand new 1/2" drive flex-head ratchet seizes up at first use. I bring it right back to the local sears and am handed a "rebuilt" one (with chunks of steel missing as if it's been used as a hammer) as a replacement. I asked "what gives"...

    Am I crazy with this Craftsman warranty issue?

    Disagree - cash is "buying it back". Store credit is "sorry we couldn't live up to our end of the deal but we're still not giving you your money back". When you lemon law a car because the manufacturer can't live up to the warranty, you don't get a credit at the dealer, you get your money...

    Am I crazy with this Craftsman warranty issue?

    This is stand-up: He couldn't make good on the warranty so he gave you your money back. On principle, that's all I wanted from Sears. Store credit is not of much value to me.

    Am I crazy with this Craftsman warranty issue?

    I think what I'm hearing is no use fighting it... I'll take the credit, maybe apply with some remaining gift cards towards a cheap toolbox that I need. Tools, shovels, I will buy them elsewhere from now on. Closed my Sears credit card tonight.

    Am I crazy with this Craftsman warranty issue?

    Preface: This is not the only Craftsman warranty issue I've had, I've experienced about 3 in recent years. This is the straw that is breaking the camel's back though. I'm trying to replace a Craftsman fiberglass handle shovel. I broke the handle earlier this spring digging out a bush. I've...

    Electric unit heater recommendation - 900 sq ft

    I know there's more cost-efficient choices, but I can't believe that running it once per week for a few hours while I'm out there working is going to break me... Right now my heat pump is working overtime and probably tapping the emergency electric heaters on a regular basis. If I can handle...

    Electric unit heater recommendation - 900 sq ft

    All, I will be adding electric heat to my 900 sq ft 3-car attached garage. I'm finding that the garage, with no source of heat itself, is staying at about 20-25 deg warmer than ambient outside temperatures. During the current Pennsylvania winter, temps are generally in the 30s - 40s in the...

    All, Looking for a Snap-On CAN1B CAN BUS adapter used to mate the Snap-On scanners to newer vehicles with the CAN BUS OBDII. The part number is MT250087. As folks are selling off the old MT2500 "brick" scanner and picking up the new Solus models, some are also buying this CAN adapter and...

    Please recomment storage options (cabinets, shelves, etc.)

    All, In the process of completing a garage renovation. I would like the space above the workbench in the attached picture to contain much of the storage in the garage. To the left of the workbench will be a small scrub sink. There is about 8' of space between the door and the wall. Please...
