Just wanted to show all of you my latest craigslist find, an Ammco 700/705 on the car brake lathe. I know rotors are really cheap nowadays but I have a couple of cars that I actually spend good money on more expensive OEM rotors. Anyway if I can get a little more use out of them, then why not...

Just found a brand new HD45 on craigslist. The guy bought it about 8 years ago but never installed it. Anyway, I'm going to vent it using 3" B-vent but nothing from Menards or Home Depot fits the 3" vent pipe on the back of the unit, at least not without modifying the B-vent fitting - which I...

I have a house with a walkout basement and the basement and garage floors are on the same level, simply separated by a wall. Anyway , I'd like to add a small full bathroom in the garage, almost 6' away (on the other side of the wall) from the sealed ejector pump in the basement. Anybody ever...

I saw one for sale a couple of states away and am wondering if it would fit in a 02 Honda Odyssey. I can fit 4X8 sheets of plywood but only have about 4' of working height. Anybody ever transport one in their van? Thanks

I was doing the coil pack dance, watching the RPM's on my autotap app so I could find the bad coil pack on my 02' Honda Odyssey. Anyway, I pulled out the coil pack for Cyl #2 (rear center plug) and the coil pack came out - minus the rubber insulator that goes on the tip (see pic). What...

My new shop TV and DIY Ceiling mount + How to Fix TV's! Paid $50 for this "dead" 40 Samsung 1080P that took less than $5 in Radio Shack parts to fix. Anyway, the picture looks a hell of a lot better than my old 32" Sony tube monster that sat on top of my upright freezer. Plus this one...

Okay this is more car related but it happened IN the garage. One of my little 914's hasn't been running too good so I figured it was time to replace the fuel filter, so I clamp both ends of the fuel line and swap it out. Then a neighbor stops by and we get to talking. Soon another neighbor...

I saw these at the store for $189 (regular $199) but when I checked them out online, they were only $99, with free in-store pickup. This is an inch and metric set and has pretty much everything you'll need for automotive work. Most store only have 2-3 of these sets on hand so just keep looking...

Introducing the QuickJack by Ranger Products! I know many of you may have heard rumors that this way coming. Guess what? It’s finally here. For those of you not too familiar with Ranger Products go ahead and check them out and just know that their parent company (BendPak) has been in the...

Drool over this for now! Full write up coming later tonight.

I now have 10 key pads on all my doors to the house, including the one from the garage into the house. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any type of keyless entry system for a sliding glass door. I can't seem to find anything, other than the ones made for regular/standard doors. Thanks

I was at Discount Tire getting a flat fixed when I noticed that the techs would hook up a tire chuck to wheels and then walk away, come back, and disconnect the tire pressure gauge. How are they doing this? Does someone make a digital gauge that you can just set the max psi so that a tire...

It's that time of year again to get it done. What products are you guys using for your asphalt driveway, and what are you using to fill in cracks? I normally hire this out but would like to tackle it this year, especially since I have a Menards, Lowes, and Home Depot nearby.

I don't recall what they call it, which is why I can't find it on their website. Anyway, it allows you to insert it into the back of a socket and then you insert your extension on the side of it - like at a 90 to the socket (like a sliding t-handle but without being able to slide). Anybody...

I have over a dozen hardwired (battery backup) smoke detectors in my house that keep going off. Yes, I've tried to pinpoint which one it is to no avail. I even put a new battery in each one and that didn't make a difference. I think that they are all just old now and need to be swapped out...

Anybody ever successfully fix a pressure washer hose leak/tear? Mine has a tiny pin hole cut about 3' from one end. I tried electrical tape and that didn't do anything. Of course, with use, it appears to be getting bigger and bigger now.

Does anybody know if someone sells a kit with different sized wires, brushes, etc., which can be used to clean out jets? There's got to be standard set. I'm getting tired of always having to look for something to fit the application at hand. Ideally I'd like to find something that has an...

I've got a couple of broken exhaust studs and I'd rather not use easy-outs since they always seem to break. Anybody know where to get a decent BIG kit that has all of the most common sizes?

Hate to admit it but, yes, it did happen to me. Actually, it was really lack of planning on my part. I was busy with other projects so I didn't get started on the front wheel bearing replacement (02 Honda Odessey) until late Sunday night. I started around 6pm, thinking that I would have...
