    Does anybody here live in their garage or shop?

    My wife and I live in one. We have a 50X100 metal building with an additon on the rear of 14X30. We built an apartment in the 14X30 and 14X50 of the original building. This gives us about 1120 sq. ft of living space. Inside is a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, full bathroom and an office. In the...

    What is the Best Fluid To Dunk Your Ratchets In...?

    Depending on the brand of ratchet and seal they use, ATF can swell the seals making the seals useless and possibly interfeing with the ratchet mechanism. If not sealed, then ATF works great. If sealed, and the ratchet mechanism is having issues, take it to where you bought it and have them...

    Cell phone reception in a steel building

    We use sprint. After calling them and explaining our situation, they sent us an air raid system for free. It hooks through our internet and has solved our issues.

    Recommend a residential door opener

    I read all the raving reviews on this site on the Liftmaster 3800 jack shaft opener, therefore, I went with it. It worked great for about 3 months. Then it lost it's settings. I reset all the settings and it worked for about a week. This went on for about a month. I then called in for tech...

    my snap on dealer *****

    My suggestion would be to invite the guy to lunch and get to know him. You will probably become his "go to" guy at the shop which will go a long way generally in your favor. The phone call to corporate will do nothing. You will get a call from his BM and then he will get a call from his BM...

    What's with the fake Snap On tools

    Actually, from a stock holder stand point, it is a brilliant move. Look at what Harley Davidson has done with brand imaging from doing this exact same thing. Why do you think you are able to purchase HD stuff at Target or Walmart, or anywhere else for that matter from anywhere other than a HD...

    Compressor suggestions

    Yes, I got a manual or atleast photo copies of a manual along with a parts list. I guess as far as duty cycle is concerned, you would need to determine what you will be doing with it. Unless you plan on running a blast cab, sand blaster, or some serious sanding, I don't think it would matter...

    Compressor suggestions

    I just went through this myself earlier this month. I went with the Puma PK6060V. It's USA made, puts out more air than the IR, and lower in price. I bought mine from northern tool. The store was out of the IR when I made the purchase, but this did not influence my decision. I did notice...

    Need help identifying this Snap-On Tool box...

    I spent 11 years with Snap-On. I had one of these. He is correct they were part of a contest. They are very light weight when compared to their normal boxes. It's actually more of a novelty than something of use. I gave mine away in a contest of my own along with a flat screen t.v. that sat...
