I got one of these mine lights for Christmas from a coworker... it is still stuck to my desk. Another coworker got one as well and one of his magnets came out right away (glued in, so easy fix). It's a single LED, so it's gonna be pretty wimpy no matter what, but the concept means you can...

I corked my tool box draws about 25 years ago and only just swapped it out for the black foam anti-skid stuff (you know, the stuff you find under carpets and such). I'm spacing on the name of that stuff. The only drag about cork is that you can't forget to wipe down your tools before putting...

Though I have a few SnapOn tools, 95% of my tools are Craftsman. I've replaced a lot of "broken" tools over the past 35 years, but would never think to consider asking for a replacement if I put a grinder to it. I do feel if it is worn out from "normal wear and tear", they should replace it --...

I've always just laid my sockets on their side in a drawer and use metal dividers between the various socket types. I guess I've just never been so far away from the car to need to drag all the sockets over and plop them down somewhere. I've looked at those plastic stand-up holders at Sears...

When I bought my house, with its 12x12 wooden garage door and (at the time no other entry to the garage) I was sitting on my couch watching TV one night and BAMMM!!!! -- it felt like a bomb went off outside, Opened the door, looked outside -- saw nothing. The next day I go to open the door and...

I've been looking for a replacement table saw as well -- have been focusing mostly at sears and looked at that one posted above too. It seems OK, but the fence is too easy to get locked off-square. That is something my current saw does too. Drives me crazy. I doubt I'd ever use the router...

That's a 5 HP, most likely 3 phase, compressor. I've been servicing a similar compressor at work since 1980 (a 7 HP version). The compressor looks identical to ours. We found out that regardless of how good the tank "looked" when we picked it up, it didn't have the markings that made it legal...

I'm certain I've eaten way too many ****'s burgers as well, but it's good to see other SeaTac locals on this site. I'm a newbie here as well. Cool site. Speaking of burgers, I work near the original BurgerMaster in the U-Village, which is another place I've eaten too many burgers over the...

I posted once a month ago, but I hadn't had a chance to post more until now. I have to say, this is a pretty cool site. I don't have a big garage, but it's adequate for what I need to do. I use the carport if I need to. :thumbup: I currently have a 65 Falcon Tudor wagon I keep out of the...
