I picked up a Walker floor Jack a several years back with the hope of restoring it, but I just have way too much going on and want to get it somewhere it will see some love. Haven’t looked at the tag in a while but pretty sure it’s a 784e. Doesn’t currently work but all parts look to be there...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I initially found several places online that said both were U.S. made but after further research, both are assembled in China. And I get that even U.S. ones will have some global parts, but there are pretty much none out there anymore. After my initial post I...

I’m looking at the Champion 8500w dual fuel or a DuroMax dual fuel that’s rated a little higher. Would like peoples’thoughts, opinions, personal experiences etc. First consideration is where it is made. Don’t want anything but USA made, and I believe these two brands are U.S. made. Let me know...

Thanks. I’m ordering a set of SK impact sockets soon and will pick up some extensions as well. I figured I might have better luck with actual impact sockets

I bought a makita 3/8 impact driver several years ago and only used it a few times because the friction/hog ring doesn’t hold any sockets in place. Life got busy and I haven’t had much need or opportunity to use it. Now that I’m wanting to use it again I’d like to solve the issue. I haven’t used...

Steamer was the only thing that worked for me. It really depends on weather they slapped it onto bare drywall or if the surface was prepped first or previously painted before the paper.

Not sure if you are an App person but I use one on my phone called Autosist. I think you get one vehicle free and then if you want unlimited it's like a one time fee of 20 bucks. It's pretty comprehensive and works well for me. Spreadsheets are a great way to do it too.

I'm in for this. Been looking for some new better quality tools since I quit buying Craftsman.

Okay, I'm an idiot. It is 3 way. I never use the switches at the other end, as they are on my wife's side of the bed, and she never really uses them either. She hit the 3 way for the light yesterday, but must have hit the other one first and not switched it back. I was thinking to myself last...

Assuming a light switch has not been removed and intentionally turned upside down, is there a way for it to fail and start working in reverse? I’ve owned my house for 7 years and this switch has never been removed. For as long as it’s been there down is the off position, and up controls an...

Try some PRI-G additive in your gas. Stuff is amazing. I put it an everything I own that has a small engine and they always start on the first pull. Carbs never get gummed up or anything. I've let them sit for months at a time and as long as they have PRI they always start. Better than Sta-Bil...

I picked up this beast about a year ago or so. It's a Walker. Can't remember the model at present. It needs a complete obvehaul. I just haven't had any time to work on it yet.

Mine is painted darkish color of gray at the moment and I don't have any issues, but I also have a ton of light in the garage. I've got some pics in another post on here somewhere. I'll try and find it an paste a link. But in general, what most have said is true. Darker colors do **** out the...

Great story. When the heat is out and the family is freezing, you do what you gotta do. Fortunate someone had one in the area.

Nice. Yeah there's a local parts distributor here called Dallas HVAC that sells to the public. I bought a capacitor for my A/C unit off them last year and they showed me how to re-wire the newer one since my unit is older. So I called them up and they had the replacement board I needed. Love...
