    Canada Only Deals!

    Security Camera Recommendations

    I'm thinking about getting a camera for the garage and maybe the front door and a friend suggested looking at these. Pretty hard not to check out at $20 and $30 price points and free cloud storage. They only record to a cloud storage for the first 12 seconds of being triggered, although they...

    Bicycle Seat clamp idea for mechanic stand

    hanging the bike from a rope works just fine. One can hang it from two points(seat and bars) too. I know of a bike shop that used that method for as long as they've been around(15+yrs)

    Bicycle Seat clamp idea for mechanic stand

    there is a ton of great ideas out there for making a repair stand clamp(google is your friend) here's one here At the end of the day, after all the effort, the clamp head is likely something that would be easier to buy than to make. I would look at the used market too as these are not...
