Don't need one often - usually use my air compressor (PITA to get to) or more often my bike pump. But like tomorrow, I'm filling up some trailer tires that are 30 pounds low. A handheld inflator would be nice. I see the Ryobi is $20 at HD, but I've got all Ridgid stuff. Not a lot by any means...

My opener is on the fritz, it has done so many things today that I can't even keep track of them. Basically, the thing didn't close all the way this morning. My wife messed with it a few times, no dice. She disconnected it until I got home, when I got home it worked fine but seemed to be...

I’m a cheap ***. Possible to find a good deal on this...

My three car builder grade (500-600ish SF) garage gets stupid hot this time of year. You step outside and it drops 20 degrees - even though it is far from cool this time of year. I put a fridge thermostat on top of my toolbox, and it spends most of its time pegged over its 85 degree max...

Anything good out there?

Need to stain my daughters playset, it’s a year old and is showing some wear in the high traffic areas. MFR shows this product: https://www.backyardadventures.com/water-based-stain-light-brown-for-summit-outlook-1-gallon-/8dstbrgc-19-ecom/ I don’t think it is what I need. I use don’t see it...

My FIL had some more flooring poured in his 90000 year old shop today. It will see extreme use - combines and other big stuff rolling over it. Should he seal it? If so, what are his options? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I’m in Nebraska helping my father-in-law with harvest this week. I know basically nothing about farming, so I’m about to leave worst person for the job. Fortunately, I’m free. Anyway, it seems like every year I’m discovering he has a critical need for a tool I can’t believe he’s never around...

Googled a few ideas, but thought I would check here to see if anybody had any proven techniques. Yet another gasket went bad on my truck, and I spilled some transmission fluid on the driveway. Any top-secret ways to clean it up?

When it comes to tools for my bicycle, I’m almost exclusive to park tool. If you’re not familiar with them, they are one of the more premium brands in this space. I’m in need of a torque wrench, and was going to go to my default manufacture. However I did a quick search for reviews, and I...

I don't use them often, but just grabbed my Dewalt set to help my wife "modify" some crappy Ikea style furniture that was misdrilled from the factory. Something similar to this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-14-Piece-Black-Oxide-Coated-HSS-Twist-Drill-Bit-Set/1000045819 Half of them are...

Hose reel, quick connect, and hose recommendation for inside garage I recently discovered that my hot water heater has connections for a hose. My neighbor connected his a few times, and it revolutionized the way he washed his car. I'd love to use this every couple of weeks on my vehicles and...

I have a cookie cutter spec home with a three car garage...and four cars. By the time you put three cars in the garage, add a tool box, and mount two bike racks on the wall....no room for a work bench. Don't need one often, but would like to have it when needed. Recommendations? Buy one on...

Been posting for a few weeks now, but just now getting around to doing an intro. Originally from Kansas City, I moved to Oklahoma City in 2011. Relocated to Memphis for almost three years, and moved back to Oklahoma a month ago. Bought almost the exact same spec house as last time - just...

Blowing up the forum today when I should be watching my Chiefs, and spending way too much time on research. I had epoxy in my old garage and was a fan. Nothing special, just the entry level Rustoleum that my builder provided. Was about to apply it in my new house when I realized that my...

Will likely purchase whatever comes up on a BF deal this week, but curious as to whether or not folks ever sell their "old" tiles when they move or upgrade.

Posted in hot deals as I was looking for such, but it was pulled - apologize as I assume that was not the correct forum. Need something to put my lawn equipment, etc in to free some space in the garage. Rubbermaid type appears to be the easiest. HOA limits an eight foot height. From what...

Isn't everyone though? Its a little ironic that I went from a three car garage to a two car garage, and now back to a three car garage - but am having issues with space. I'm also getting an outdoor shed, so the other items I used to store in the garage (yard tools, lawn mower, ladder, etc) are...

My garage has many cracks (very common in Oklahoma) so the builder sealed them using Sikaflex crack sealant. I was intending to put down Rustoleum professional - however have some concerns. Speaking with Sika they advised me that their product flexes when the cracks expand and contract...

I'm closing on a new home next week, and would like to get the flooring down as soon as possible. Builder states that the three car garage is 560 SF. Sounds a little small to me, but I did find the estimate from my old home which was built by the same builder - 494 SF. I was about to pull the...
