I bought a huge 30”x4’ 7” thick Boos butcher block, but it doesn’t have any legs. I know I can buy legs easily enough but I want to make a more substantial base for it. I contemplated aluminum square tube but I hear there’s quite the learning curve to learning aluminum welding. I also...

Do you make your own? What sizes do you do? Where do you recommend getting bulk rolls? What kind of tape do you recommend?

Gripedgetools.com Unique hex head tool design. I’d be interested in trying them at $60 a set but $100 a set for new tech from an unknown company is too much for me.

I have read through a few posts here on GJ. For example this one: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/pilot-holes.56286/ And there doesn't seem to be a True general consensus. So if i'm drilling 3/8 eighths or half inch holes should I be doing a 1/8 inch pilot holes? Apparently it is...

I got a nice primeweld mig 180 welder. I took almost a year to finally install the 6/2+ground wire through the house. I bought a 25ft 6/3 RV extension cord to go on it as well. I did a few very small welding jobs, all of which went really well, I really like the machine. Maybe a hour total...

Found this at the local scrap yard. Is this for doing alignments?

This is not another 'how to store a Torque wrench' thread. This is about the actual usage. So I have been told and have seen where if you have, say a 5-75 ft-lb Torque wrench and you try to use it for the 5 ft-lbs it will not actually make the clicking sound/feel. So in other words the TW...

From the guys that make the LockNLube tools. They now make a similar style air chuck that mimics the same mechinism as their LockNLube tools. Mine arrived and I used it when the TPMS light came on in my truck. It's not 100%. It takes a bit of wiggling to get it to make a 95% seal for...

I have heard of allData, and Helms(?) but is there something else you suggest?

Is a an expensive dental ultrasonic cleaner the same as any other ultrasonic cleaner? How are these on cleaning 2cycle carbs? does the carb have to be broken down completely for it to be fully cleaned?

I've got two Jacks one is a 3T craftsman (see below) and an older 3T Dayton. They both leak. The repair kits are pricey and not something I've done before and they lack features that newer Jack's have. I'm looking at scraping them. Are there any repuposing ideas for these? Are there and...

I finally got the vice apart. Its a 4.5" and it says Guar Exp 12-31-59 on the dynamic guide. It says A9450 under the Static jaw. On the side it says Wilton, Chicago 14. I tried reading some of the threads on here, but its like stepping into a library where all the books are strewn in a pile in...

I bought this 4.5" wilton from the flea market. I know how prized they are, and knew I had to have it especially since it was only $25! It had the nut screw and handle in it, they're just not in the pic. No swivel base unfortunately. But it was frozen. I lugged it back to the truck with...

Be safe out there friends. If you're getting a rusty bung (hehe) is time to start shopping for a new one.

I have the Milwaukee 2767-20 I have not even used it on anything real yet, Just pulled lugs off my newer car. I was at a part out (1999 f150). I tried to get the last lug nut off (it got the others with a little effort). The 2767 couldn't get it, despite it hitting pretty hard. But the...

I've got a 710d 3/8 ratchet and I thought I heard of others putting in a repair kit from a different ratchet to get a better tooth count. Any feedback? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
