Thanks Everyone - I do have a much more heavy duty vise in my garage, but didn't think I needed to use it for this. I was trying to remove the screw from a rusty shackle. I'll see if I can get more infomration about the vise - I believe it simply says "Korea" 4". I like the idea of mounting...

Hi Everyone, I cracked my swivel base to my 4" vise this afternoon. Are there replacements ? I would prefer not to toss it in the garbage if it can be salvaged. Thank you

Thank you Woodee ! I will definitely reach out to them and check it out. Thx !

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a concrete coating that can be used on a pool deck. The concrete is in pretty good shape, it has a couple of surface cracks but overall integrity is good. It would need to be able to withstand constant UV exposure and I would...

Hello Everyone - I just coated my basement workshop with Rustoleaum EpxoyShield Professional. It hasn't dried yet, but I had been planning to apply the clear coat in a couple days. However, after some research I've learned that the clear coat has a habit of yellowing if exposed to UV light...

Thanks for the advice, I have ruled out the Rustoleum products. Has anyone had any experience with Corotech ? I'm not sure if that's considered "big box" or not. I'm also looking at a product from Armor Garage

The link you provided is broken, is this what you're suggesting I investigate: https://armorpoxy.com/products/armorclad-add-kit-300-sq-ft-no-topcoat/?attribute_color=Khaki+Tan Thank you

Hello All - I see that epoxy coatings is a popular subject around here so I'm hoping to get some suggestions on brands that are being used. I'm coating my basement workshop slab - approximately 250 SQ FT . I know floor prep is key, but hoping to figure out whether the big box store stuff is...

I was hoping it was the code on the label - I didn't see anything on the back of the ballast but I'll have a closer look. They certainly look like they're way older than 1985 - and my original thought was the age of the house.

This is where I came to that conclusion: http://www.gelighting.com/LightingWeb/apac/images/GE-PCB-Containing-Fluorescent-Lamp-Ballasts_tcm281-33708.pdf The CY on the label of the Ballast is what I was referring to. Two of them are not labeled that way and I would have to suspect they do...

Yes, Thank you tfi_racing. I was looking at a PDF earlier from GE regarding PCBs in their Ballasts and the date code indicated on the ballasts appears to be from 1985 ('CY') - I think. So, I'm hoping these do not contain them. It's very possible the previous owners had to replace the ballasts...

Thanks for the replies - I agree that quality of these Fluorescent lights are far superior to what's offered at Lowes & Home Depot. The house was built in 1965 and it's very possible that these were installed around that time. With regards to using LED ... Any recommendations on model/brand...

Hello Everyone - I'm looking for some suggestions. I have a basement workshop that is appproximately 10' x 25' - it currently has four 48" Fluorescent fixtures which I need to replace. The existing fixtures are Rapid Ballast by General Electric and they looks like they've been here since the...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm not sure how long it's going to take, but I'll post some pictures once I have it together. Thank you.

Hello - I'm planning my workbench and was curious whether anyone had experience with these workbench legs from global industrial ? http://www.globalindustrial.com/product/itemKey/30980774 My father used something similar that he got from sears many years ago, but I can't seem to find them...
