    Garage Floor Repair

    The garage is about 20 Years old. If I had to guess this started happening about 2 years ago. The drop isn't bad, it wouldn't even be noticeable if it wasn't for the garage door. The ground beneath the garage has a lot of rock so it should be mostly stable.

    Garage Floor Repair

    My garage has cracked and one corner is sinking. I am thinking of having it repaired. Has anybody had this done? If so what type of repair? I am looking at the folks who drill a hole and then inject a substance that lifts the floor back in place. Does this last?

    Recommend a leatherman

    I have a Blast, Style CS and a wingman. They were gifts from work. The Blast should do everything you asked for. It comes with a nice sheath. The Blast also has a pair of scissors. The scissors don't look like much but I used them a lot. I work in a power plant and having the Blast allows me to...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    I bought the two welding tables that they are mounted on. The tables are 8 feet by 4 feet. Anyway I got the tables with the vises for $440.00. Where can you find the model number on these? I looked but could not find anything but the manufacturer address. The big one is a 12 inch opening with...

    Looking for a good Gas Can

    Guys I have several atvs and lawnmowers so I go through a lot of gas. I am using Blitz ventless gas cans and absolutely hate them! What do you use? Does anybody know of a good brand? I am looking at Eagle. But over $60 for a 5 gallon gas can seems a bit high! Any suggestions? I just found...

    Craftsman All Rubber Garden Hose 5/8 In. x 50 Ft $19.99 @ Sears.

    The Reel is expensive but I was buying cheap hose reels almost every year. From what I can see of the Eley/Rapid Reel I won't be buying one for a long long time. In the long run I believe it will be cheaper.

    Craftsman All Rubber Garden Hose 5/8 In. x 50 Ft $19.99 @ Sears.

    I have several of these. I bought three of them 20 years ago. They are still good as new. I have never had a problem with them. I liked them so much I bought three more last fall. The only issue I have had is that they will tear up a cheap hose reel. They are heavy! Luckily someone on this forum...

    Cordless Drill or Hammer Drill?

    I bought the Milwaukee 2611-24 last year. So far I am very happy with it. I have used it both as a hammer drill and regular drill with no issues.

    Dewalt vs Milwaukee in general

    While I lean toward Milwaukee I don't limit myself to either. I have tools from both. Both brands have good and a few bad tools. I bought a Milwaukee 2611-24 last year and love it. I also bought a Dewalt DW920K and like it alot.( Only complaint with the dewalt is the nicad batteries) Which ever...

    Help rebuilding a rectifier bridge.

    The large capacitor is required. You don't have to get the exact value any Electrolytic close to this value should work. Didn't this electronics store have any large capacitors? I miss the day of the old Radio shack when they mostly only sold electronic kits and components! Now Radio Shack is...

    Help rebuilding a rectifier bridge.

    Two notes. One: I don't think the orange capacitors are needed. They honestly don't do anything in this circuit. The second note is to warn you that the large capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor. That means you must be careful of the polarity. If you hook it up backwards it could explode like...
