I'm searching but coming up short... Does someone make an affordable tool to spray rust preventative inside of a cavity and get good coverage? I would prefer something that attaches to common aerosol cans.

I would like to purchase a set of calipers for general automotive and shop use. For example of a use, I need to measure the total clutch cable throw on an older gearbox. The spec is 25mm with a 0.5mm tolerance. Another example is measuring brake rotor thickness, though I know a tool with a...

When torquing lug nuts, the socket has a tendency to stick on the lug nut and come off the 6" extension. This isn't a major annoyance, until you start checking the lug nuts to ensure they are properly torqued at the track, multiple times a day. I currently prefer USA made Craftsman chrome...

I'm considering buying OEM Tools 24804 Mobile Parts Washer. First use would be for general cleaning during brake jobs and other under car work. I think it's size would be great. I can put it under the wheel assembly on the floor and catch most of the dust and grime...

I need to replace the fuel line on a Tecumseh HMSK80 powering a snowblower. On other engines, you can pull the fuel line out from its location behind the flywheel. On this one, it's stuck. It appears it's pressed into a groove and it hard to remove without further disassembling the front...

Miller's current promotion ends on Friday. https://www.millerwelds.com/bwb-8 Does anyone know what else they have offered in the part? I've been considering a Millermatic 211 and am wondering if I should jump on it now or wait. I need to sort out power in the garage before I can really use it.

Is it OK to drives nails through a plywood truss gusset in order to attach hurricane ties? This is the style tie I am using. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-Strong-Tie-Z-MAX-Galvanized-18-Gauge-Hurricane-Tie-H2-5AZ/100275721?MERCH=REC-_-NavPLPHorizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-100275721-_-N I don't...

I have been building an 8x16 shed and forgot to stagger the second row of sheathing on the rear 16 ft wall. The shed is 2x4 16" on-center construction. The roof is 16" on-center trusses. I don't like making "mistakes" but also would like to avoid pulling the now glued and screwed sheathing...
