    Casters to use for Lista and Vidmar boxes

    I have several 30" wide 59" tall Lista and Vidmar boxes on which I'd like to install casters for mobility. What's a good size caster to use? I am contemplating on 5" casters. Any suggestions from experience? Thanks in advance.

    Patching a hole on my truck's air cleaner tube

    I installed an aftermarket air intake system on my 7.3 Powerstroke. The metal tube from the air cleaner to the throttle body had 3 holes the size of a nickel but the kit only came with one plug. I'm guessing that the other holes are used for sensors (which I don't have). I need to cover these...

    What causes this to happen to a crank pulley

    My 2001 Nissan Quest with a 3.3-liter engine had been making a grinding noise. All this time, I thought it was the A/C compressor and/or the idler pulley. Today, I saw something similar to this picture. Mine is a pulley for 3 drive belts and the two outer ones separated from the inner one...

    Monetizing new US-made Craftsman tools

    I have sets of US-made Craftsman tools from my ebay-selling days from 5-10 years ago. All these tools are new and made in the good ol' US of A. Even if I could, I wouldn't want to return them as the ones in the store are all imports. The tools are needle-nose pliers, arc-joint pliers...

    Repurposing 5-gallon buckets

    I've searched for a while but didn't find a thread. Pardon me if I missed it. I have 5-gallon buckets lying around mostly from laundry soap. Other than the typical water pail or flower pot, there have got to be other ideas from the great minds of GJ. Do you have pictures you'd like to share...

    Ditching the rollaway and chest. Am I crazy?

    With the recent acquisition of my Lista, Vidmar, Lyon tooling cabinets and my HF 5-drawer service cart, I'm feeling less attached to my 37" rollaway and chest. I feel that a rollaway is no longer necessary. I was going to sell my 37" rollaway/chest and replace them with a HF 44" but realized...

    Who would ever need a 12-point socket?

    I have yet to encounter a time when I need a 12-point socket over a 6-point socket while using a ratchet. Other than square nuts or bolts, why would anyone ever use a 12-point socket? A 6-pt socket grabs the sides much better.
