    Vevor Inflatable Paint Booth (23'x13'x8') on Amazon $250

    I have two. A giant one of big stuff and a smaller one for furniture. You need to pick the right day weather wise but they are pretty awesome if you don’t have access to a real paint booth. They are surprisingly rigid and robust. Sure beats the make shift setups I was using before. I waited...

    Tornados, trees and Chainsaws UPDATE

    I second what Rege is suggesting. Quality chainsaws tend to have fairly decent resale value. You may want to consider getting a decent saw and selling it when you are done. The work will certainly be less frustrating than getting it done with a sub-par saw. If it were me I’d get some chaps...

    Rapid Air Tubing won't seal up

    It also expands the diameter of the end a bit in addition to chamfering the edges. This would prevent oring damage as well as ensure a tight even fit. Like I said I have used the tool as recommended from day one and my experience has been without a single leak or issue. Certainly nothing like...

    Rapid Air Tubing won't seal up

    Do yourself a favor and order the tool that reams and chamfers the pipe. I have installed 100s of feet of max air 3/4” and never had an issue. with Tons of fittings and lots of transitions without leaks. I use a good cutting tool, cut square, and ream and chamfer quite liberally using the rapid...

    CAMO hidden fasteners look AWESOME. i'm building a deck and like the idea. anybody??

    I did a deck in tigerwood using this system. The downside is install time and cost but it looks awesome and you don’t have a hole in the top of your board to collect water and debris. Now to be fair Tigerwood is so hard that I had to pre-drill for each screw which was why the install time is...

    Anybody recognize this compressor?

    My friend is shopping for a compressor so I have been trolling the local used market and came upon this compressor. There is no information in the ad regarding HP, CFM etc. I figured one of yall might be able to ID it. It looks to have POWER FOF embossed on the Tank but it’s hard to tell from...

    I'm confused, is Metabo (non HPT) a pro level tool?

    I have older Hitachi nailers, a hitachi 10” miter saw, and a first generation 18v Li-Ion hammer drill and Impact Driver. All of it was built extremely well, and they continue to function today despite being used and abused. It used to be that the higher tier Hitachi tools were certainly up to...

    Looking for good pricing on metal cable ties

    Yeah, honestly the ones I got from Temu are have been perfectly adequate. If you take advantage of the coupons, they are also absurdly cheap. I am sure they are the same thing that Amazon is selling with much less markup. The last ones I got were $0.20 a piece for 16” sold as a 50 pack.

    UPDATE: Restoration Photos and another question. Scored Vidmar cabinet for 100$ at an estate sale.

    Finished up a couple weeks ago but was traveling and didn’t get around to posting final “after” pics. I ended sparaying kbs diamondfinish clear coat for added durability. I really like how it turned out. After cleaning and reinstalling the slides the box works impressively well considering the...

    US General, what is the best of these bad options?

    The full bank service cart is actually really nice. I have mine filled to the brink and the drawers still work fine. I go back and forth on whether I like the flip-top top compartment. I got it for 495$ and at that price point it seemed pretty reasonable to me. I definitely think the drawer...

    Keysco dent puller $98.90 03/15/24

    This has to be a scam site and not the actual site. Take a look at the blasting cabinets. They are all on “sale” for under 100$ free shipping. A lot of other too good to be true deals also. Everything is on sale and there are funny “attractive” and “premium product” descriptors added to a lot of...

    Some nice stuff up for auction in Buffalo, and Stoney Creek Ontario.

    I have had only good experience with bidspotter but like you zero experience with Stronghold. I mean you are not out any money if you don’t win an item so no harm in trying. I have snagged some absolute steals at industrial type auctions. To be fair those terms of service are fairly standard...

    Some nice stuff up for auction in Buffalo, and Stoney Creek Ontario.

    Definitely some great deals there as well. I am in NC but let me know via PM if you are going to bid and pick something up and would be willing to pick up and ship something reasonably sized.
