    Pipe fitting tools

    I have some pipe fitting tools for sale. I doubt any GJ users in western Canada will be interested but I would appreciate some indication of what these tools are worth. These were my fathers tools and he has passed. When I was young, I threaded a lot of pipe for him. I've probably threaded a...

    Miter Saw Stands

    I have a DeWalt DW718 that I love every time I use and hate every time I move. I also have the DWX723. I solved the problem by picking up a Hitachi 10" compound non-sliding saw. It weights less than 30 pounds and sits on top of a Husky job box. 99.9% of the time, it is more than sufficient...

    Is there an effective substitute for a trans jack?

    I really appreciate the advice and cautionary notes to respect the safety of this procedure. The wisdom of this group is extremely appreciated. I had no idea PA had a jack for $230. Thank you for the tip. I will pick it up. :thumbup: BTW, I checked the local rental shops and couldn't find...

    Is there an effective substitute for a trans jack?

    I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I thought about putting it into General Discussion. Mods: please move, as appropriate. I have to swap clutches in a manual trans in a mid 90s Ford 7.3. Suffice to say, I expect the trans to be pretty heavy. I don't have a trans jack and don't...

    Looking for a wrench case

    First, I apologize if this has been discussed. I got a ton of hits from a "wrench case" search but it's a needle in a hay stack. I'm tired of losing wrenches from my portable toolbox. They have always come back but it's a pain to look for them. Tool trays don't fit well. I'm thinking about...

    Opinions on selling inherited tools.

    These guys are all like mafia hit men. They make money by getting stuff for free. If your son is 12, why not get him to do the eBay posting. Give him a portion of the take in an education trust account, or whatever. He might get a kick out of it. One thing about eBay: It's a pain and a lot...

    Milwaukee resales in various classifieds.

    I'm pretty confident the 12.0 batteries on eBay are counterfeit. Here's an excerpt from an email regarding the 12.0 ordered from eBay. "The item in question has been deemed restricted. This could be due to import/shipping restrictions or eligibility requirements within the Global Shipping...

    Lighting for working in a gut renovation

    Keep in mind there are two tripod lights. One has the ability to point the emitters directly down, creating an umbrella of light. The other light cannot point down. The DeWalt tower light is identical, with respect to not being able to point down. They have a single hexagonal plate with...

    HF Ultasonic cleaner

    I like mine. I use it with simple green with good results. It's no magic wand but after a good soak in hot solution with the ultrasonic on, dirt and contaminants tend to brush off with a small scrub brush, even if they were welded on before. Lately, I've been soaking door hinges and other...

    Milwaukee resales in various classifieds.

    I ordered at 12.0 from eBay. I'll report back with an impression of authenticity once I've had a chance to use and test it for a while.

    Did someone have any idea of repair the Ferrari 458 ?

    I was going to suggest he have his chauffeur take the car to the dealer. Total respect to Jason Huang for living the dream. More power to him. I'll bet he has a really big Huang.

    Milwaukee resales in various classifieds.

    I apologize for beating this dead horse but I've noticed some outrageous deals on 12.0Ah M18 batteries on eBay. Milwaukee branded, new in retail packaging. If I knew this was real product, I would pull the trigger but I am concerned about counterfeiting. I haven't heard of counterfeiting the...
