    SDS plus Bits

    Does anyone offer a shearing bit like is offered for an air chisel? Matco calls it a Ripper Bit. I have an application where a cordless option would be handy. Sent from my SM-G965U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    3/8 butterfly impact, weekend givaway.

    562. I have the same non-used impact. Picked it up on the clearance shelf. Might even still be in the box. Sent from my SM-G965U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Roofing Safety Harness Opinions, Options

    The roofer bucket kit should fit the bill. More versatile components exist, they very a bit. Easier to adjust, more comfortable, quicker buckles to put on and take off. You might benefit from the convenience of additional ropes and accessories. If an arial lift, you will probably need an...

    grounding the building itself?

    For residential it may not matter, but thought I heard a #6 grd wire does not need to be in conduit while anything smaller does need to be in a protective raceway. This would explain why #6 is more common in commercial applications as a minimum size.(My observation for what is worth.) Sent...

    Beginner starting out with emt

    Bert - Do you cut all the way through with the tubing cutter or most of the way through and snap it. I heard and used both. For reaming with a unibit, are you folks using a large bit say 7/8 or larger and reaming on a single step? If so, that is a lot of money. I've always heard using the...

    Magnetic sockets

    2ndGear mentions using your own magnet. What if you glued a small neo magnet on the tip of an extension? Then when it could be used with various sockets and easy to wipe off. Not sure if it would be strong enough though. Sent from my SM-G965U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Utility knife- favorite?

    I like the Lenox LX250 same as the Irwing FK250 but different colors. The Lenox is at Lowes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HDTDZRM/?tag=atomicindus08-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CY8BJ06/?tag=atomicindus08-20 A little on the thick side but no sharp edges in the pocket like the cheap husky...

    Circular Saws - How many do you have?

    Do you use different circular saws on a regular basis? I have a couple good ones Skil worm, Bosch, Porter Cable and a couple old Black and Decker / Craftsman ones probably worth $5 at a garage sale. I can't simply toss them as they work. One has a steel cutting blade, one diamond concrete...

    "Little Giant" Style Ladders

    Should be a bunch of Spring & Father's Day sales coming up on these. Home Depot sells Werner and their brand Gorilla. Menards sells Keller and a house brand as well. I have a Gorilla and a couple Keller models and like them. Like all extension ladders, they have some bounce when fully...

    Heavy duty stapler for GM glovebox liner?

    How many staples are you going to use? Is this something you are going to assemble then install? I'm guessing you build the box then install it? Maybe hit up a local warehouse and see it they use the stapler and have them staple it for you. Maybe even hit up a UPS store or FED EX location...

    Tools for Bicycle Repair

    A lot of bike shops have different clinics. REI has clinics as well if you have one in your area. They both are a source for tools. I appreciate saving a buck online and convenience to click on Amazon to have delivered next day. Both local and REI may match prices and be a source for...
