    Milwaukee M18 chainsaw question

    Kit comes with the 12 amp battery. Anyone use it with the 9 amp battery with success? Kits out of the budget, but I’ve got a couple of the 9 amp batteries already. Not planning on cutting up big logs or trees, just small limbs, trees or dead branches. Got a 20 yo Husqvarna with very low...

    Harbor Freight online ordering issues

    Just a heads up on the HF online ordering experience. No need going into the HF quality, we all know how it is hit and miss. My experience was frustration due to a lack of communication on HF's end. I placed and order, shipping ticket was made, CC charged and nothing. Zero activity on HF's end...

    Finally got my new HF jack, and it’s bad

    :mad: Tried waiting on the store to get one in stock for two weeks or more, finally gave up and ordered one. Back ordered for two weeks. It finally arrived today. Pulled it out of the box and I’ll be damned if the frame isn’t warped. :mad: One wheel sits 1/8”-1/4” high in the front...

    HF jack died....

    Served me well for about 5 years. It's the 3 ton Pittsburgh low profile with 3 1/8" clearance. Without warning, it just quit lifting my car. No leaks anywhere, so it's still full of fluid. First though was great, I now have an excuse to go buy one of the new Daytona jacks. Nope! Won't...

    Anyone make a height adjustable, storable tool cart?

    I may be asking for unobtanium here, but does anyone make a small tool cart with something like an 18" X 24" (at a minimum) surface that can be adjusted height wise to work as either a tool cart while doing brake jobs/down low work while siting on a low shop stool to a comfortable height to use...

    Where do you stock up on sandpaper?

    Now that I have my bench build, I need to fill the drawers with sandpaper. Going to stock up on Silicon carbide for wet or dry and aluminum oxide for my woodworking projects. In the past I've been just grabbing a pack of various grits or types when on a project, but per pack pricing is high...

    The Domino effect strikes again.

    Going through my garage building my new bench, I started cleaning up as well. My son finally came and picked up an old engine block I had sitting between the water heater and my tool box. I had a few pieces of steel stock I stored behind the block. During my cleanup I discovered all of my...

    As promised, my HF 44” bench build

    Okay, lets get the ball rolling! Here’s where it all started. I had this horizontal **** collector under my cabinets. I just didn’t have enough drawer storage. My tool box was out in the middle of the garage floor and it created a wall all by itself. To the right of the shelf in the...

    Finish for butcher block workbench top?

    Just bought a new BB bench top. Currently edging it out with red oak, then I’ll radius the edges and bolt it down. Any heavy/nasty oily or greasy work I’ll use a piece of cardboard or Masonite to protect the surface somewhat. But what’s the best product to use for a finish? I’m thinking of...

    HF Series 2, 44” bottom box drawer swapping

    Did a search, cannot find it now. But the question had come up some time back about moving drawers around and the rails being pop riveted in place. True, they are. But it doesn’t matter. I just pulled out my deep bottom drawers and swapped them for the two top shallow drawers. Perfect rail...

    Snap On ratcheting screwdriver value

    Been wanting to replace the one that got away 26 years ago. Not that I really “need” it, just want to get another one. Browsing the net I stumbled across this one. Of course I cannot find this one up for sale anywhere. Was this a special collector production run that will cost up to 4X as...

    HF 44” into workbench. 18” or new 22”?

    I’ve got the complete 44” (older 18” deep) system with top and two sides. Now that I have my HF settlement cards, I’m buying another bottom cabinet to turn into a purtable bench in my garage. Original plan was to put the new 22” deep under the old top and hang the side cabinets on it sliding...

    Dayton bench grinder parts. Any good source other that Granger?

    I was given an older Dayton 6" bench grinder many years ago. Of course the guys in the shop broke all OSHA rules and removed the Tool rests and eye shields. Found eye shield kits through Zoro for $13 for the pair. But the tool rests I can only find through Granger at $35 each. :shocking...

    Planning on a purchase from CPO Tools?

    Check Tyler Tool first. I was doing an internet search for best price on a Dewalt planer stand. CPO was priced at $165.00 with free shipping. Tyler Tool ( I had no idea they were the same company, but identical web page formats was my first hint) had it for $150 with free shipping. A few...

    Lets discuss bench top tool stands.

    Just acquired a few new bench top tools in the arsenal. Mainly a jointer and planer. Small shop, full size was totally out of the question. My original plan was to have one tool stand that I could pull the item off the shelf and drop it into place. Well since I have bought said items, I...

    Rockwell/Delta 15-665 Drill press value?

    Local ad for one set up as 110V. Appears to be some minor surface rust in the photos, but hard to really tell. Seller has $250 on it. Is this the average price for a used made in the USA drill press from the 1970's? Searching I see brag posts about getting them for $100-$150, but nothing...
