    Harbor Freight Drills- Drillmaster or Chicago Electric?

    FYI - Locally, the Interstate Battery store will rebuild rechargeable batteries (except for some reason Craftsman). I'm very happy with the 2 I've had done.

    Kobalt 60 Gal oil -lube air comp - $299 @ Lowes

    I've had mine since Veterans Day. I got 10% off the $399. But I'm gonna stop in & see if its not too late to get the discounted price. BTW - On mine, the On/Off lever switch is bass-akwards. On is OFF and OFF is ON :confused: And someone asked about power. It only requires a 15 Amp...

    Actual warranty experience

    Ridgid 24 V Li-Ion battery was replaced without question. Battery has a lifetime warrantee & crapped out @ 8 months. Sent it to a service center nearby & I got a new one in about 2 weeks.

    Rigid 24 Volt LITHIUM Combo Kit for $357

    Just bought one at HD. Very nice. PS... you have to register for the warranty. It's kind of a PITA, but I sent my stuff in anyway. Resurrecting this as I am in need of a new drill and this seems like a good package. Are you still happy with this kit? The local store still has a set on...

    Air Line Hoses

    Thanx for the input. By chance I got an HF flyer today & they have 1/2" rubber hose on sale. Will stop there tomorrow.

    Air Line Hoses

    Is there a significant quality/durability difference between rubber & vinyl air line? My rubber lines are at least 10 years old and except for some bulging at the connectors, they seem to be in good shape. But I want to replace them before one bursts at the wrong moment. Any suggestions?

    Sealers and curing agents.

    Given enough effort just about anything used in a home environment can probably be removed. The builder probably used a relatively inexpensive sealer compared to ultra tough industrial sealers. No personnal experience but sanding & shot peening both seem to be recommended here. If you...

    Opinions Requested on Rustoleum EPOXYShield Garage Floor Coating

    1. Did your slab have a sealer on it before you started with the etching process? No sealer on my slab. What I've read here, at Rustoleum & other web sites is that the sealer must come off. What manufacturer's etching product did you use on your floor? I used the citric acid etch...

    Opinions Requested on Rustoleum EPOXYShield Garage Floor Coating

    I used the Rustoleum Professional on the garage floor about a month ago. Lowes had it in a kit. 1.25 gallons of color & 1.25 gallons of hardner, a pack of color flakes, 2 small packets of citric floor etch, a roller screen & it all came in a 5 gallon bucket. I used 2 kits on my 875 sq ft...

    Getting ready to redo the floor.

    Rustoleum makes a clear 2 part clear epoxy which might work for you. I bought 2 kits at Lowes. I have never found it at their online site, but they did have it in our local store, still do. I just put it on, over their gray epoxy, 10 days ago, and so far it seems plenty tough. I used 2...

    Garage Cabinets

    Does anyone have links to D-I-Y garage cabinet buildups? Its time to square away my storage issues and prefer to build cabinets myself. I need detailed instructions that I can adapt to my situation. Can anyone help out? Thanx.
