    HOA horrors?

    Dang! Those stories take the cake! Funny if they weren't true. Some people are just full up of themselves!

    HOA horrors?

    My advise, tread cautiously, if you do, read and understand the by-laws that will govern you. Unfortunately, the big unknown is the people that will. While great folks might be in charge now, the next "********" might be just around the corner. We lived in a very nice community in S. Florida...

    Opinions on Milwaukee 12 volt cordless tools?

    All my Milwaukee stuff is for wrenching and metal fab. I've got LOTS of Milwaukee 12V stuff (like 20 pieces with some multiples) To me, they are the sweet spot. They tend to be the right size in hand and have good battery life for their size. While I have some Milwaukee 18V stuff it's only in...

    Need A/C in my 30x40 shop, any good ideas?

    Hey Brother, Semper Paratus! I'm west of you in SWMO so similar WX to KY. I installed a 24,000 BTU system in my 24'x30' stick framed garage/shop. Though not metal or as large as your shop, I've been very happy with the mini split. Here's the thread on my system

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Perhaps. But it's the first "Wilton" I've gotten and it was $40 for a vise that sells for $199.99 locally . . . Congrats on the Palmgren.

    Just found this Wilton 11106 new in the box at an antique mall in Arkansas for $40! Thought it was a pretty great deal. Going to replace a 24 year old cheap HF Pittsburg in my shop.

    Welder

    I was in the same boat as you a bit ago when I retired. Always wanted to learn to weld, no better time than when I retired, right? I was very fortunate and through a friend, got a very nice used low hour Miller MultiMatic at an unbelievable price. Great welder, but VERY expensive unless you find...

    Who else collects Snap on ratcheting screwdrivers?

    Unfortunately, blue reverse collars are not available. However, I was able to pick up a replacement collar and end cap in teal. Originally, wasn’t thrilled about the idea. But saw the Miami Dolphins edition in Vrod-Mike’s and thought heck, I’ll make a “Miami Vice edition”. Doesn’t look as bad as...

    Who else collects Snap on ratcheting screwdrivers?

    I'm hoping my fellow GJ SO ratcheting screwdriver brethren can offer some help. I love these things and have several I've purchased over many years. I have a not so old SSDMR4BRWB and the plastic selector collar cap has cracked and broken. Is this part available? This is the red, white and blue...

    Tools of Japan

    Saw a YouTube video from the Koken booth at 2024 SEMA show. They talked about the Koken Z Series Clip Type spark plug sockets and they gave a coupon code for 20% off all Token through Veterans Day (SEMA2024). So, today I snatched a set of four at just over $80 with the coupon and free shipping...
