    Something you could put into your garage....

    I don't think the wheel question ever really got answer. I know you said they are not cheap wheel, but in sales you need to know your audience. I assume you spent 10 minutes around the site prior to posting the op. They are countless people who move 1000s of pounds around every day, in and out...

    Something you could put into your garage....

    How are those front wheels in sand? Do you have a video of it in sand? You mention the beach at least 2 times in the ad. If I purchased it for the beach I would expect something that can handle loose sand. Dragging chairs, coolers carts etc often struggle with sand

    Exterior GFCI keeps failing - fluorescent lights to blame?

    I have a t12 fluorescent shop light in my basement. It is a cheap light that you need to plug in and it doesn't have a switch. I was plugging it into a gfci and it would trip 75% of the time I switch outlets to a non gfci. I am certain the gfci was wired correctly

    What can a Table Saw do that a Radial Arm Saw cant?

    I had a b&d DeWalt 10 inch radial arm saw. It converted to a sander, shaper/router, drill, jointer. I got it used and rarely used it for more than cross cuts. I ended up selling it prior to a cross country move. It took up a lot of space. But it could do a lot more than my table saw. But I sold...

    Anyone else made a bug screen for 2 car garage that is moveable?

    I use the harbor freight mesh tarps as a sun shade on my front porch. It gets afternoon sun. I hang it from cup hooks. The tarps come in a number of sizes and are pretty strong. We also use them a as back stop for my son's lacrosse goal. The mesh is small enough to keep bugs out

    whats a 100yr old crescent wrench worth?

    I don't know if the patent pending is a valid way to date the tool. In my observation manufactures apply for parents for incremental changes. This could be for an incremental change. I was using a 9 inch level the other day. It might be 15 years old. I happened to notice it said patent pending...

    Tool kit suggestions for a young man just starting out?

    I am going to go in a different direction. I had a circular saw and an electric drill. Fall semester I would build several lofts. I also built a couple bars for rooms in fraternity houses. I pretty much had 3 loft plans for 3 different dorm rooms. I could build one in a day. I would walk away...
