Have you tried it with a different compressor, hose or connector? Given you have 3 tools that used to work and now don't, either you are extremely unlucky or something else is messed up... Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using The Garage Journal mobile app

Are the 4 and 5 drawer models of comparable quality? I ask as I went to hf yesterday with the intent of picking up a 4 drawer to serve as my mobile workstation. However, the model on display seemed really cheap compared to the 5 drawer models right beside it. I couldn't tell if that was was...

I recently picked up the 40v 14" brushless Ryobi. It works better than I expected. I've only used it for cutting small trees and branches - but it zips right through them. I'm using the 2.4ah battery from my weedeater and the battery seems to last well. The had the bare tool on sale a couple...

Organizing the garage and decided to try hanging my power tools on pegboard. I also have a lot of the Ryobi 40v yard tools, table saw, chain saw and pressure washer. It helps that Home Depot is just around the corner, but for my diy use around the house I really like the value I get from...

I picked up the brushless drill, impact driver, circular saw and 2ah & 4ah batteries on the sale they had last week for $139. It was too good to pass up. I had the nicer Ryobi compact drill and 3 speed brushed impact driver, and the brushless stuff is a noticable upgrade in power. We all have...

I have the extreme grip CM set and I've been pleased. Only complaints is I miss the "color coding" where Phillips was blue, slotted red and torx black. I have to look harder to find what I need. I also find the length of some of the drivers to be too long, but that's more a function of the...

I have a set of metric and standard. My dad purchased them for me for Christmas a few years back. I spent several hours trying to figure out why I'd want to put a 10mm socket in a 10mm wrench... The only time I recall using them was to remove a very awkward bolt on the back of a heater mixer...

I'm in Austin, TX, so our winters are pretty mild, but we can have relatively high humidity all year long. We can also have pretty dramatic swings in temps in every season but summer (where it's consistently hot). A couple of weeks ago, we had temps in the 70s early in the week, then it was in...

I recently moved to a new-to-us house. The good news is I have a much larger garage than before. The bad news is the new garage isn't climate controlled like my old one. I've noticed that I'm getting rust on some of the tools in my toolbox. I assume this is the result of the larger...

I just bought this today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J3WQ360/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Was pretty cheap and works well, and there were decent priced 'tapes' in different colors. The only complaint I have is that it wastes a lot of tape due to the spacing to eject the label so the internal...

The rest of the drawers. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

It's taken a couple of weeks, but I sorted through my two old tool boxes, put true duplicates in boxes for my kids and my truck, and got everything organized into the Kobalt box. I still have a few empty drawers that I'll use for power tools. This should allow me to get rid of a set of...

Got my top chest. Now to figure out how to organize everything... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

I'll contribute some Ryobi love. In 18v, I have the compact drill, right angle drill, impact driver, reciprocating saw and high volume inflator. In 40v, I have the Jet Blower, cultivator, hedge trimmer, pruner and the weed trimmer. In electric, I have the 'big' 10" table saw and a pressure...

Great idea to put the power strips in the top section. Makes a ton of sense. And the complete unit looks great!
