I have a couple old style Gas Generators that work OK, but **** up fuel. I would like to have an Inverter that does not waste so much fuel and would like to use Propane to avoid issues with gas going bad, gumming up carb etc. Well pump is 240V so would like to it to be 240V capable. Have seen...

I have a 9000 LB Bendpak 2 post lift and would like to have adapters that would make it easy to lift my garden tractor, 4 wheeler, golf cart etc. Primary use would be to lift the GT without removing the mower deck. Not a lot of clearance between the tires and mower deck. Garden...

I have some overhead shelves at about 7' with 2x6 joists and the drills/impacts could tuck up between the joists and be easy to access when needed. This would free up some of my tool box space. Would it harm the tools to put some bits/extensions in the joists and let the tools hang from the...

I want to install some PEX that has been in a roll for a long time. It wants to return to curved shape even if I bend it back against the curve. I am planning to push the PEX into some 3" PCV pipe and leave it overnight to see if that straightens it out, but was wondering how other people have...

I almost never throw anything away so I have a fair selection of old pots and pans. Aside from dog dishes, what do people use them for?

I need to cut some flashing and would like to make clean precision cuts as it will be exposed and in a location that will be very visible. Need to cut 24" x 50' roll into 10' sections then cut each section down to 23" wide. I do not have access to a brake. Suggestions on how make clean and...

I have 3 Genie Xcelerator openers and ordered a Liftmaster 8500. I have multiple 3 button Genie remotes and will get 3 button remote with the Liftmaster. Please recommend 4 (or more) button remotes that will work with all of my openers. Links appreciated! Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

I have decided to buy a Liftmaster 8500. Where can I get best price? Can you recommend the seller? Any special discounts or discount codes/coupons available? I have done a bunch of searches, but it seems like others often find better deals that I do. Thanks, Joel

I have a fairly large and heavy door. 10X10 aluminum and glass. It was installed when I bought the building and it looks like a garage door that was used in Service Stations in the 50s/60s. My guess is the PO bought it used and installed it. It has a torsion spring and a solid steel bar. NO...

I want to cut a 4' section of 6" SDR35 in half lengthwise. I have a lot of tools, but do not have a table or band saw. How can I mark it, jig it, cut it, to get a clean accurate cut with two near identical halves?

We got a light snow last night and I took a shovel out and pushed the concrete driveway off. Fairly small shovel and took too much time. I have a Snowblower for any significant accumulations. Looked at buying a wide, 30" or larger, snow pusher. They are fairly expensive and most appear to...

I need to change the transmission lines on some 200X GM Vehicles and want to buy a tool to disconnect the lines. Have used the screwdriver/pick technique, but want correct tool that is best for the job, assuming the price is not outrageous. I had an OTC Tool 7937...

I have a project where I needed to cut some threads, and had trouble getting the die to start straight. Had to abort first attempt and start over. Second attempt was better, but still not perfect. First attempt was using a normal die handle and I just could not see that it was not straight...

The specs say 35 ft-lbs, but mine does not seem to have anywhere near that amount, seems closer to 10 ft-lbs to me. It works very well on stuff that is not tight, but has VERY little torque. I was concerned that it might smash my fingers if I tried it in tight spaces, but there is not enough...

I have a fairly new(approx 5YO) refrigerator with top freezer in my garage. I works pretty well except for one issue. The drain that is supposed to allow water from the defrost cycle to run out, gets frozen up which keeps it from working well, water in the refrigerator and ice in the freezer...

I bought some used Mini-Barn style sheds and the prior owner had run wiring from one shed to the next through 2" PVC pipes. I have run the wiring underground and now have some 2" round holes to patch. It does not need to look perfect, just not too crude. I might try to make some plugs using a...

I see that they sell both brands. Which one is better and why?

I have seen the M12 2457-20, 3/8 Ratchet, on some TV programs and some videos and it seems like it would be very handy to have when working on vehicles. When I started shopping for one I noticed that they also sell the 2467-20, which is a right angle impact driver(1/4 hex) I probably will buy...

I made a hole in a block to run 1.25" PVC Conduit through. Hole is approx. 4" X 6" I need to fill the hole, and/or block and am wondering what material to use. Would spray foam insulation work well below grade, in contact with ground/gravel? If not, what would you suggest?

A guy near me has an old Wayne Air Compressor for sale. He said that is a 5 Horse(1 Phase) 2 Stage pump on an 80 gallon vertical tank. I don't get the impression that he knows a lot about it, but said he bought it from an old Service Station and thought it might have been made in 60s. I have...
