Very cool! I got this one in May of 2021, surprisingly, it's still working just fine :)

Diagnosed and fixed both a Razor scooter (bad controller and a bad throttle) and a Ryobi pressure washer (one corroded wire at the switch) for my neighbors. The aftermarket controller had one wrong connector (both the style and pin size) so I spliced in the one from the old controller to keep...

Hoping to get a retirement home on a 1-5 acre wooded property so I can play 'Andrew Camarata' vs an IT guy lol. Cool, yeah https://www.bikeflights.com/ is another option.

We're considering moving to the east coast (some say we'll regret it but that's another topic). I too am dreading moving my 2 car garage full of tools, expensive mountain bikes and cars plus some misc (clothes, pictures, keepsakes etc). Everything else like furniture, TVs etc will be...

Haha steal away, yeah I too have several drain pans myself but I was annoyed with the slow and messy draining part. So I thought if I could install a dispenser on a short and wide bucket that should work. Found these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094CKKVRC?tag=atomicindus08-20 for a few bucks and...

Changed the engine and transmission oil plus tire rotation. First time using this 3 gal bucket as a drain pan. I added a tap/faucet to it, which is the best part. Draining/cleanup is so much easier, I just start it and walk away to do other stuff. Don't see myself going back to using the typical...

I've been using a portable ac plumbed into a vent for 10+yrs. Depending on how hot it is outside it does take a little while to cool but makes a big improvement. If I know I'll be working in the garage I turn it on an hr before. My garage is just a typical 2 car garage and isn't sealed very...

I've been wanting a thermal imaging camera so picked this HikMicro mini up on sale for $159 (Android ver): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP8SG388 Also noticed the Airpod 2 pros are down to $169...lowest I've seen, might get them for a xmas gift.

^^ lol me too. @Prospecter , I just wanted to say you have an amazing property! Showed some pics to the little lady and she's in agreement we should put Maine on our short list of states to consider moving to for our retirement property. Have been looking at upstate NY and PA. It'll be a huge...

I recently bought one just for sh*ts-n-giggles, I seldom pass up an opportunity to buy a tool so I'm the wrong person to ask but as DIYers there's no need to buy SnapOn...craftsman, tekton, HF stuff works 8 out of 10 times and for the cost of an expensive tool I can buy a few other tools too...

Nice, post up some pics of the install if you took any.

A total impulse buy with no immediate need but I never owned a rotary hammer :sad: only a basic corded hammer-drill. This thing's a beast, glad I didn't grab the next size up (SDS Max on that one vs. SDS plus on this) which I was about to because the price difference wasn't much. But even this...

Love seeing (especially older) pickups being used the way they were meant to be (y)

I figured it's only a matter of time when I'll need one...ordered direct, it was slightly cheaper plus I ordered the longer arm for aluminum wheels.

Replaced the leaky cylinder and while I was at it I greased the hinge pins etc. Bendpak doesn't sell a seal repair kit nor will release any other info on these cylinders. They did offer a 'discount' but it was still $$$. Now I can take the old one apart and hopefully find the seals etc myself or...
