A friend of the family recently retired after working on heavy equipment. Having a soft spot for Vintage Plomb tools, I had always looked his set of Plomb 3/4 ratchets, breaker bar and almost complete set of sockets from 3/4 to 2&1/8. We came to a fair price. Gotta figure out where the box...

Looking for a 350.00 floor jack Looking to spend about 350.00 floor jack for our son. He married and they have a place of their own. He works on stuff a lot, and we want him to have a good, safe jack. (He does own several good jack stands). Any recommendations for that price range?

I just grabbed a DeWalt 20v, DCF887. A cordless impact driver I got at a pawnshop cheap. It will not hold bits in the chuck(?). I am thinking probably a cheap fix, but I cannot figure out the exact part to buy. While I can wait to order from DeWalt Monday, I see all sorts of them on Amazon...

We are looking to purchase a home with a couple of acres, and an existing 38x40 shop. While it does have a pellet stove, it is not insulated. I am guessing in it about 10 years old. I live in the Pacific NW, South of Seattle, East of Tacoma, (Puyallup). So we will have a lot of rain, occasional...

We got a new mailbox for our home. A very serious, heavy mailbox. About 90 pounds, as it comes with a mail slot as well as a place for packages. That being said, the question is how to mount it. On the side of the road it will be on, it is soft dirt and sand, and we get a lot of rain in...

There was a mail order tool company that has been mentioned on here a few times, and I can not think of the name. Seemed they had a lot of sheet metal workers tools, and many others. I want to think it was a Jewish sounding name. They had positive comments, and seemed to have some good deals now...

Trying to raise my Bend-Pak lift. Motor is hot and smokes. 220, low use. Well maintained and low use. Would do pic or video, but short on patience. Thinking of having it rebuilt. Thoughts?

I am looking at a HVLP sprayer from a couple of manufactures. What I want to do is my, as well as others, cabinets, doors in our house, a Ford 8N tractor we have, the engine bay on a couple of 60s era cars. Titan has a "Capspray 115" that claims 11.5 psi. Shoots just about everything...

Has anyone here used "Titan LED". I am about to change over some of the lights in my garage/shop to LED. They seem like a good company with US made stuff.

Hey guys, My son recently acquired a new KRP1HD snap-on tool cart from our friend (who is a Snap-on dealer). It came from the factory with no legs and SO told our friend to keep it and they sent him another one. He then gave it to my son who was in need of one as he is just starting out in a...

I work for a fire dept., and the building I am stationed at has two different size ceilings. One has a 20 foot ceiling and during this summer it has been about 104 near the top of the ceiling, and 94, give or take at 5 feet. The other bay we have is a 24 foot ceiling, (a newer portion of the...

A friend in Togo has a 2014 Hilux. It is an "NGO" truck from some outfit in Gibraltar I believe. Looking for anything on it besides a basic owners manual. I am guessing it is a bit early for the aftermarket to catch up with this yet. Hilux info is close to non existent in the U.S. So if it...

So I now have a Benpak HD9 4 post lift. Great! Customer service? Excellent! But, now that it is in, and when it is in the "down" position, with nothing on it, the post tend to lean in. When in the "up" position, it seems straight. It is not bolted down. I have had a 67 small block...

I get the make the choice! Am I going to regret not having the extra space a HD 9ST won't have at 89 3/4" between columns, or would I miss not having the 100 1/4 inches that the standard HD 9 offers? Stored on it will be a 69 Mustang and a 67 Fairlane underneath, or vise versa. I would like...

A good friend is going to Togo to be a missionary. His specialty he has to offer is Airframe and Power plant, and a general aviation pilot. He is set with tools and a good box, as well as a hanger to work in when he gets there, as that is taken care of by the organization he is with. He is...

I am going through my father-in-law's, father, and my grandfather's tools. While I have kept the lions share, I have to thin some out. Do I keep the 18 inch Ridgid pipe wrench, or the 18 inch Fulton? Both probably 30s era, in not earlier, similar condition, though the Fulton is more refined...

Now that I have gotten the rats locked out, and trapping was successful, (thanks to a link I found on a search here), I am going to have the crawl space re insulated. Do to damage, all new insulation and a new vapor barrier. My question is should I go with the 6 mil on the ground, and call it...

While browsing through here a few weeks ago, there was a member here who sold storage drawers and such. Similar to Lista and such, but not quite as high dollar. He had links below his posts on his signature line. With multiple searches, I have had no luck finding him. Anyone have any idea who...

We have a two Post Rotary lift, 9k capacity. It is installed in my father-in-laws old shop/home. The people looking at the house may not be interested in it. What is it worth? It is about 10 years old. We are just not sure what to do with it. Unfortunately, a shop where I could use it is not in...

My wife vacuumed up some dirt and small nails with my Shop Vac "stainless steel contractor model", without the filter, and ruined the motor.http://www.shopvac.com/wet-dry-vacs/vac-details.aspx?vacId=254&vacSKU=962-48-10&showpopup=false I had this for about 9 years and was very impressed. As it...
