Anyone on here have the Greg Smith interlocking tiles in their garage? Thinking about going that route with my garage. If this was my "forever" home I'd probably go all out on swisstrax, racedeck, or one of the other better known brands. I'm only planning on being in this place for maybe 4...

Getting ready to order supplies/parts for my sub panel install for my garage. Would you get the exact same manufacture/line as your main service panel or would you switch it up? Existing panel is an Eaton CH. The sub panel will be strictly for the circuits in the garage and will be flush...

Looking to get an air filtration system for my garage. Mostly to help combat sawdust and for my health benefit. I'm still planning on wearing a dust mask (looking at RZ masks right now) and I'll be using a dust deputy hooked up to a shop vac (for the time being will upgrade that later). I've...

My wife pitched the idea of getting the garage air conditioned to me the other day while we were discussing future projects for the house. This came up because the bedroom above the garage (garage is attached to the house) is always noticeably warmer than the rest of the house. What would be...

Was looking at getting a 3/8 cordless ratchet and came across these as well as several other no-name brands on amazon. Turns out AC Delco has a 3/8" ratchet, 3/8 impact, a drill and a impact driver. Originally was looking at Milwaukee, and they're still in the running. While they do have a...

Considering getting one rather than buying a 60-80gal compressor, plumbing supplies, dryer, after cooler, and guns + accessories. Application would be painting a vehicle (likely to only do this a few times in my lifetime), motorcycle parts (Might do this more often, but still infrequent), and...

I'm thinking about picking up a cordless string trimmer and blower. Currently dragging a corded string trimmer around the house and starting to get annoyed with the cord. A blower would be a nice addition to take care of the grass clippings and blow the sawdust off stuff in the garage (when I...

Have any of you done something like this.... ....with that style of shelving? Ignore the "workbench" part, I'm building a woodworking one this fall when my wood dries out some more and a "dirty work" workbench later this summer. I've got 8 of those stupid things that I moved cross country...

I am considering putting plastic tiles (racedeck, swistrax, etc) in my garage. Do the solid tiles offer any sort of anti-fatigue relief over the bare concrete? My wife mentioned I should consider something like that if it'll help mitigate my back pain.

Still in the brainstorming stages for the electrical work on my garage. First have to get the upstairs work done (paint, floors, and trim) so we can stop living on the 1st floor only. We've been sleeping in the dining room for the last 3 months :lol_hitti...long story. Anyways it's an...

http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/search?cmd=results&fromadvanced=true&searchparam_warehouse=71534&sort_column=close_time,event_id,lot_number If you want them you can grab them for pretty cheap, auctions start at $25 for 1 or 2 cabinets per lot. If you buy them and need to sort out...

My dad purchased me a 44" roller cabinet today from Harbor Freight as an early birthday present. As most know there are pretty rave reviews about it on here, and I haven't seen this mentioned in any of those threads. In order to get the cabinet home we had to lay it on its side, remove the...

Found a guy selling one on CL about an hour away, wondering if it's worth my drive or not. Seller says it runs, but I'd want to take a look at that wiring and look at the condition and run out of the chuck. I do love these old presses, they've got lots of character, but if my money would...

I've been using a no-name set of 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 sockets that my dad bought for me about 10 years ago. What do you guys recommend I look at for their replacements? I'd like to not spend a ton of money on them, and truck brands seem like a waste of money for a DIY'er. I highly doubt there's...

Picked up a 20pc set of open end wrenches with ratchet box ends for around $50 today at sears. They had 16pc sets for around $30. Don't know if it's local or not. This seems to be for the standard length wrenches, the stubby sets were full price

http://tools.woot.com/ Don't know if there will be any good deals but worth checking out from time to time. Don't know how long it will last either.

I'm shopping for cordless drill and impact driver and I've narrowed it down to Milwaukee, Rigid, Porter Cable, Dewalt, and Makita. What are your opinions/experiences with the aforementioned brands? Currently I only need a drill and driver but in the future I may or may not want other cordless...

I have a grand total of 2 outlets my garage (one on wall, one on ceiling 18ft up), and I want/need more outlets. To further make things difficult it's a rental and the owner said no to me doing any upgrades of any sort without hiring a professional and me paying for it without any sort of...

Hi everyone. I'm a long time lurker, and first time poster. First found GJ back in 2009 after I joined the military and have been watching from the sidelines in envy since I didn't have a garage to work in. Now I've got a 2 car garage (20' deep by probably 25' wide, don't have exact...
