Looking for a quality 4 ft level. I have 24" Stabila and love it, but the 48" is almost $120. Is there any other brands that does the job without a big hit on the wallet?

The shower just sprang a leak in this old house. I took apart the hardware, but the valve stem base has an irregular shape, it's straight on two sides, but round in between, none of the faucet wrenches I got fit. I tried to put a channel lock on it but the opening is too small, so I have to...

Hi, I'm in need of long lasting quality ratcheting tie down straps to haul some bulky furnitures on the roof/outside trunk, etc. I see things anywhere between $10 to $50+ a set, obvious they're made differently. What do you got, and do you recommend them?:)

Picked up a beginner welder (115v, 140A) on black Friday! :D What would be a descent helmet to go with it? I only intend to do basic MIG on steel and some stainless exhaust work, but i do want quality that will last. Is auto darkening money well spent?

I've always used socket with extensions instead of having dedicated nut drivers, but I'm finding myself dealing more and more with 8mm and 10mm screws around tight places, and my new tool box needs some new tools :drool: I checked out some at the box stores, but they're not comfortable to grip...

I'm looking to get an IR garagemate 20 gallon vertical unit. Even though its no 80 gallon 2 phase, but its my first oiled compressor. My friend has a Toyota 4 runner, the box will fit laying down but will there cause any problems for the pump? If it has to be transported standing up, I'm going...

I've been slowly accumulating my tool collection, and I've far outgrown my 20" 3 drawer Husky. Now, I know the US General 44" chest is a top favorite around here, but I don't quite have enough stuff to fill more than half of the drawers. A bigger problem is I don't have a pickup, and to have...

I'm in a pickle here after trying several methods to free a few rusted screws. First, these are torx screws on the underbelly or my 10 yr old car, full of rust. I stripped 5 out of 22 of them, and drill the caps off to drop the pan. However, I could only grab hold of 2 out of the 5 and turn...

I tinker with cars in my spare time, but have not done any fabrication work. I'm looking for a welder for general use around the garage. Specifically, I need a welder that can handle stud welding (for pulling sheet panel repair) as well as MIG welding (steel and stainless - rust repair...

My car is getting on in age (13 yrs), both bumpers can stand a sanding and respray (base + clear). I have a 20G compressor that flows 5.5cfm. Will this be sufficient to paint the bumpers in my garage? What is the trick to painting parts without a booth?

We have a 2 car garage on the ground level, ceiling height is limited since one of the bedrooms is directly upstairs. The driveway has a downward slope with about 18" drop in elevation from the garage floor to the street curb. I wonder if it's ok to dig up the floor and lower it 12" (after...

We have an old Goodman central AC in the house, the air is not cooling. I suspect the refrigerant is low, but want to confirm before calling an HVAC tech. What would be a reasonable (read not cheapo, but also not too expensive) set of gauges to take some measurements? The Goodman unit uses...
