    Socket selection

    OP needs to invest in Tekton. They will serve him well until he can make money with them then upgrade as he needs them. Tektons warranty is good and for $500 he could have a nearly full toolbox for what he needs then have some spare cash for Milwaukee impacts. Sent from my moto z4 using...

    Building a detached garage at starter home?

    This is the correct answer. I have two toddlers and it is very difficult to get out to the shop. If you can get by now without it save the money and keep daydreaming on GJ. Sent from my moto z4 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    US General Series 2 44" Cabinet HF

    Bought the orange top and bottom out the door on Tuesday for 699 out the door. They gave me the Black Friday deal and the 15 percent off. I won't get the top box until right around Christmas though. HF44 is a solid buy for the home user Sent from my moto z4 using The Garage Journal...

    Tools value

    Do you have a son, nephew, brother, cousin or some family member that would use them. Schools will abuse them and kids will misplace them. Tools for a lot of us have a deeper meaning than a pile of metal that turn nuts. They have more sentimental value. Please for all of the GJ guys on...

    Can I use capacitors to start well pump with a less that ideal size of generator?

    Do you really mean 1hp? That should be a 120v pump. You will have to find one that is specific. I don't know of one. The governor that keeps them at 3600 rpms. So it would be expensive to build to your own Sent from my moto z4 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Buy a Milwaukee. Skip snap on. The m12 and m18 series have proved themselves. The m12 ratchet in 3/8 is awesome The m12 stubby impact is great as well M18 mid torque impact. You will spend a lot less and have better tools. Sent from my moto z4 using The Garage Journal mobile app

    recommend me a quality exterior paint

    I used Sherwin Williams duration on my last place. Loved it. Looked great, super durable. The downside was it was incredibly thick. Think of a melted shake. I just painted my grandparents place with Benjamin Moore's aura top shelf paint and it was really easy to paint with. It wasn't as...

    Snap On Taco Wagon (KR562) question
