I'm trying to find a hose anti-kink "spring" but after much searching have only found short ones. I need one that is ~12" long, up to 18" would be acceptable, but I've had no luck. Also, the hose o.d. is 1", most of the ones I have found are for 5/8" o.d. hose. There are lots of short ones on...

At my best friend's little ranch is this 5,000-gallon tank, it's ~12-14' tall. It is completely full of water, and its purpose is to back up the natural spring that supplies all of the water at the property. The long drought 2-4 years ago caused the spring to slow down appreciably, so the tank...

I have 2, 12-inch steel trailer wheels. They have very cheap white powder coating on them (China) that has become discolored, a sort of yellow-beige color. I plan to remove the powder coat and have them redone in satin black. The easiest method for removing the coating appears to be "vapor...

I bought a new Tesla Model Y LR, and while I was waiting for delivery I installed a Tesla Wall Charger Gen 3 with the long cord. I happened to have some leftover 6/3 Romex (the Wall Charger only requires two 6 AWG plus ground) from wiring my welder circuit so I didn't need to buy any materials...

Question, I have not purchased a toilet for my new shop yet, but I just measured the center of the 3" ABS waste pipe to the finished and painted wall, and I only have exactly 11-1/2". D'oh! I know there are some 10" offset toilets available, but I'm curious how much wiggle room there is...

I just took delivery of this butcher block style workbench top, it is unfinished, 27" x 60" x 1-1/2". I would like to finish it with a very strong clear finish since it will be subject to abuse and I would like to keep it looking halfway decent for as long as I can. A finish that can possibly...

I am looking for durable floor covering to install in a large storage room that I'm building above my workshop. I've seen this commercial vinyl before (mostly at airports) and I think it would be perfect for my application. It's got a speckled finish and appears to come in about 3' by 3'...

I like using an inflator that has it's own air gauge vs. swapping back and forth between an air hose and a gauge. The one I have also has an air relief button for when I over-inflate something. *But*, the analog gauge that came with it is very inaccurate (displays 20psi with 0 pressure), so I...

Bought myself a Grizzly G0640X Bandsaw Yesterday I took delivery of and setup my new metal bandsaw that I bought on sale. It is designed for both wood and metal, but this one will be used exclusively for metal. I accurately squared it up and added some wheels, then realized I forgot to buy a...

I have a set of these strippers; a 14, 12, and 10 gauge model. Years ago when I saw that Klein had discontinued them, I liked them so much I bought the 4 remaining 12 gauge ones on the hook at the hardware store. I decided to list one of them on eBay the other day. It sold for $227.50, no...

I stumbled across this image on etsy, there was no description attached. Can someone please tell me what purpose the small tube attached just behind the clothes dryer to the dryer vent serves? I have never seen or heard of this before. Thanks.

I am buying a new water-based solvent compatible parts washer for my home workshop. I will be cleaning plenty of aluminum in it. I am no longer allowed to clean parts in the kitchen sink. Which water-based parts washer solvent/degreaser do you recommend? I've only ever used non-water based...
