Thanks for all the responses, I've definitely learned a lot. I just pulled the trigger on a belt drive and hopefully will get it installed before the new year. It's an old garage door, so I'll be replacing the side and top trims along with the bottom track and rubber seal all together. I know...

25% is good but are we ever going to get 30% off again? i think last time it was winter 2016.

I've constantly had spillage issues with the factory quick disconnects, it's time for an upgrade. Does anyone know if this set of Parker flat face 3/8" couplers do the trick? http://ph.parker.com/us/en/quick-couplings-hydraulic-up-to-4568-psi-iso-16028-fem-fec-series/fem-372-6fp...

We have a 14' x 7' wooden panel garage door with a Craftsman 1/2 hp opener. Lately, we've been having trouble closing the door in the morning when temperature is very low. I'd like to upgrade the garage opener, and was looking at the Chamberlain 3/4 hp openers. We prefer to upgrade to a...

Does PB sell individual bits, I can't find them on their website. http://www.pbtools.us/

I recently purchased a HF bubble balancer to balance my winter tires. When I opened the package, the tip of the spindle was rusted, so I took some paint thinner and rubbed it down. After I finally placed the balancer on the spindle and let it come to rest, I noticed the air bubble is not in...

So I load up the cart at zoro and go check out, it's 10:30pm, their website is down. The flyer in the mail says it expires at 11:59pm tonight, what to do? So frustrating.

The coats baseline looks to be fantastic machines, i think they are assembled and tested in Tennessee. Ive been looking closely at the BL500, the only concern is the bead breaker will only handle rim width up to 10". How exact is that limit? I have summer rims thats 9.5" wide, but may go...

I have both the 02 and 04 impacts, each will zip off lug nuts (torqued to 100 ft lb), the difference is the smaller 02 will take several more seconds to hammer off each lug nut where as the 02 will do it in 1 sec flat. Multiply that by 20 lug nuts and the extra wait can add up, not to mention...

My car has the standard schrader valve on the fuel rail. I'd like to get an accurate pressure gauge 1-100psi with pliable rubber hose and the regular schrader valve adaptor. Its been my experience quality tools tend to be more expensive but im not looking for an expensive gauge, im looking for...

I'm chasing a fueling issue on my car, and would like to invest in a quality set of fuel pressure gauge + adaptors. I have found in the long run, it is better to go for quality instead of price. I have the long acre tire gauges and milton tire chucks, both made in USA and in my opinion of...

Update: I swapped the front tires out to my all seasons. I was hoping to get a last leg out of these snow tires, was planning to replace them next year since the rear treads are wearing thin. To clarify, the tires were never run under 32 lbs, if the cracks were due to running low id expect...

I was doing some front end work under the car this weekend, noticed the inside to one of my front tires had a couple of rather deep dry cracks. These are my snow tires that gets used 5 months a year, going on 6 years now. Is it safe to run them out of thia season, maybe another 2000 miles as a...

i have a 16g shop vac, only occassional home use, and now it smells burnt right after start up.

drain your expansion tank. my guess is your e tank is full so upon start up the circulating pump draws a lot of current to get moving since liquid is nearly imcompressible.
