On big jobs I would leave my tools on my cart for the duration, including over night. When I finished with the job all tools would go back into my stationary big box.

Sounds like he may just not wanna bother. A vapor barrier keeps moisture from the ground from coming up thru the concrete. Moisture coming up thru the concrete is the very thing that will make any floor coating fail. Just tell him you respect his opinion but you would really like the barrier.

The few taps I've broken have snapped at or below the surface and have turned into horror shows. Now when I have to tap I stop, get into the right frame of mind and work like a brain surgeon. Plenty of lube, small incremental turns and haven't broken one in quite some time.

Yea, epoxy.

Check out the Blue Driver. About 100 bucks,,blue tooth with an app. Nice thing is the app updates. Does abs ,read and clear codes with real time sensor reading.

I just retired as a 40 year Diesel mechanic. Worked mostly at Chevy. When your dealing with 7k plus pound diesel trucks, dual rear wheel etc, anything but a drive on is scary. Putting those types of trucks up on a two post is a pita. They're too heavy and too long. You start hammering on...

Rubbish

I owned one for several years. It was certainly better than floor jacks and stands. I sat on a mechanics stool and rolled around under the vehicle . If your restricted by ceiling height it's great.

I've always been a twist bit guy, but feel like I get the **** kicked out of me and my drill press when drilling holes over 1/2 inch in thicker steel. Annular cutters costing 60 bucks a piece are out of the question. So now I'm using these Milwaukee carbide Hole Dozers and am very pleased...

Come on Ed? I dump oil on my garage floor just to give it character!

I owned the Mig 175 and have to say it was a pretty good machine. Definitely better than HF stuff. It came with a spool gun to weld aluminum which I never used. I currently run a Lincoln which is twice the price but never had a problem with the Eastwood

Nut Tree. Gotta be German

You can stick your kielbasa in there and give it a shake

It's funny and so predictable when someone comes on a public forum like this and asks this kind of question. You gotta know your going to get a hundred different opinions from here to Sunday. Just grab your roller or sprayer and git ta werk

LMAO, guy comes on asking for advice on running a repair business outta his garage then shits and leaves pissed off. LOL, Well one other thing I see home shop guys doing is requesting customers pay cash for obvious reasons, but in today's world most people want to pay plastic, especially on...

Another huge factor suprisingly not mentioned here is if you own a home and have a family. Health insurance. Something you have to have and paying for it as an individual can be crippling. That's what keeps most people from entrepreneurship and stuck working for someone else forever.

A friend of mine did this for years and built a very good business with lots of return customers. A local shop on a main Rd four miles away turned him in to the town and he was put out of business overnight. He went back to work at a local school bus garage. Funny thing is was the garage owner...

I just wear those cheap buy by the dozen regular safety glasses over my prescription glasses. There's enough circulation to prevent fogging and when they scratch I toss em. They're cheap.

Am I missing something here. The pricing on these are under 10 bucks?
