    1/2in Sockets

    I used to work on tractor trailers and auto/light duty. When I brought my tools home I have just impact 1/2 shallow and deep SAE and metric. If you are just working on projects at home you'll notice that the engineers are making fastener that are smaller. To avoid spending money, I would go with...

    Snap-on k-60

    I’ve never seen a Snap On like that from the states. The top has a strange shape, the handles are way off. If you’re looking for a Snap On, pass on this one.

    “Smart” garage heater

    I think electric would be very costly/ineffective. If you don’t have natural gas, you can always get propane delivered. A WiFi enabled t-stat could also be done with a IFTTT program.

    DeWalt battery Torx screw size?

    A friend of mine is pretty much an electrical genius and said we could rebuild these (20v) without issue. The cells are easy to purchase. The 20v have a tamper proof torx and I have the entire set, but none of them fit. Any suggestions?

    Shipping Container Shops

He needed a secure place to keep his tools and supplies (plus his sled) and bought a shipping container. I must admit that using it as it came worked really well. I imagine that adding the...

    Shipping container workshop

    My buddy shares a shop with another guy. They each bought a container to store expensive tools they didnt always want to share (the shop was not always secured), and to store the snowmobiles. They work perfectly, and for the $1500 bucks apiece, well worth it.

    moving an 8x10 wooden shed ?

    As a former tow and recovery operator I have hauled everything imaginable. Playgrounds (yes the gigantic wooden ones- in sections, and a hot tub to name a couple). If you have a good company on your area, you might give them a call.

    Tubing **** Fittings

    Hey fellas, I was watching an episode of Powerblock on SpikeTV and watched these guys use these little spring loaded fitting that held 2 pieces of equal diameter tubing together to aid in lining them up, and providing more material to complete the weld. They were fabricating some custom headers...
