I've searched all over the internet and can't find this seemingly easy answer. What is the difference between say a X617MM and a X617MMR, or say a X226 vs. X226R? Beside the obvious for all you smart asses out there :D

I know this may be an odd question. I recently ran across a really cool old commercial steel door with a wired glass window, as well as an old chromed brass grab handle on one side and push plate on the other. I'd love to have a frame made for it to use in my shop. However, I've worn out the...

Ok, help me out here fella's. As embarrassing as it is, being a licensed electrical journeyman, my weakness falls in low voltage wiring. I think I tend to over think it when reading diagrams to the point of frustration, then I lock up. Anyway, I've got this mag lock I am trying to adapt to lock...

I know this subject has been whooped on like a red headed orphan, but I'm looking for long term performance feedback. And before all the JNC660 guys come marching in, I get it. They are the SH!T, and I am considering buying one. However, that's not what I'm asking here. I have decided to start...

I need some help here guys. I lost the ball bearing to my 1/4" NAPA ratchet last night while cleaning it. I'm not sure who made these style ratchets for NAPA, but I can't find this style on their site. I've also thought about just buying a minimum quantity of 100 bearings just for one lol.

I planned on just throwing up a pic of the finished product in the repurposing thread, but after looking online for ideas, and seeing several people with the same idea and presents the idea asking for advice on building one, gets flamed for it rather than helpful ideas. I figured I would throw...

Not much success on Google, so I got a quick Q. I recently poured two slabs for a patio in my back yard. The first was 6yards ordered from company A. It sucked, but we poured it on a week night at 5pm and hot as hell. The second pour was 5yards from company B at 7am Saturday morning (because...

Please forgive the ignorance here. I'm sure this has been covered before, but I'm not even sure of the proper words to use in a search. I have had thoughts of cutting faux grout joints in the shop floor on like a 4'x4' diamond pattern, just for looks like you would do on a patio. My question is...

I had a couple jobs where I was needing to shoot some grades, so I figured I'd invest in a rotary laser. I bought a older DW073 laser that is like new. It was missing the detector, but everything else was in the box. Not thinking about detector compatibility, I found a like new DE089 detector on...

I'm hoping someone will pass by this thread that recognises this type of 2 pin connector and can give me a name/style, so I can find them online to buy some. I got a few of these LED lights, but they didn't come with any wiring. But being 120v, If I can find some ends, they can be hooked...

I am trying to throw together a job site set, so I'm trying to complete a couple different sets I already have. I'll ad to the list and bump it as I figure out what else I need. I also may have a few trades if you like bartering. I mostly have older Craftsman stuff and some other old brands too...

I have to admit I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this question, but here goes. I have two AC units, both furnaces and evap. coils are mounted in the attic. The condensate drain lines (PVC) are piped over to a near by plumbing drain line. Not only are the two lines from the coil pans dripping on my...

I'd be all over these, I just don't have the time to make the 2 hour trip. Maybe you local guys can jump in. As of this morning there are no bids and there is only a day left. http://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/auction/view?auc=1323356

Actually, not just one. I bought two the other night for $200. I couldn't pass them up. I know these are not big bad production lathes, but It is way more than I've had. Can ya tell I'm excited?:lol_hitti This one is a complete 18"ish, Crown Top Craftsman. And I also got this Old 48"ish Atlas...

I know, I know.:deadhorse Obviously this topic has been covered before. The one thing I'm not reading though is the everyday functionality of the full height lift scissors like the BendPak SP-7X. To me, they look real narrow in the center between the pads. Has any of you guys with a scissor...

I got a ton of base cabinets for sale. They are all metal and came out of a Chemistry lab at a university. They are all in good overall condition with the exception of two, in which one has a bent cabinet door, and the other is missing the door. Short term storage arrangements can be made if...

Did a search on this and surprisingly only found one thread with 4 replies and no good answer. I know some of you guys with open truss shops have done it. So how is it holding up? Did you use Latex or oil base paint? suggestions for those people interested in doing it? Thanks

I'm looking for some good old real world down and dirty reviews of some light weight portable wet tile saws out there. I've been laying tile for many years as a side job and have always used a heavy commercial Target wet saw. But I'm getting older and it's not getting any lighter. So now I'm...
