My air regulator is slowly leaking. I believe there is some rust in it because when I took all the fittings off it looks like they used a normal steel 1/4 connector and the entire inside was rusted... I was able to break some of the rust off with my finger nail and believe it's IN the regulator...

Sounds silly but I wanted to ask what tool is specifically used when tightening a hydraulic pipe fitting that is round and has not hex nut /fitting on it? Something that looks like this: I am using these off the main pump for the pump to route my hoses neatly, the manual says to torque the...

I am about 5 minutes away from drilling into my concrete slab for my maxjax. I've double checked everything as far as measurements on my STi and my wifes Solara... I am currently spaced end to end at 125" for the posts... My ford ranger however I have no clue where to even put the pads for the...

I'm going to hang the pump on the wall because it's not practical having it on the cart. I've seen setups and unfortunately they are not close enough for me to get a good idea on how to mount it. Obviously the pump by itself is quite heavy and even more once you add the fluid in the tank...

Sorry.. this is lame I know but I am asking. I'm drilling the garage this saturday for the anchors for the MaxJax... I got a drill: Got a decent drill bit I think: The tip doesn't appear to be sharp at all... is this normal for a masonary bit? I can't imagine this thing making a...

I'm piecing everything together now for my Max Jax install coming up. I have 11' 6" high ceilings in the garage. The rails are 8' off the ground and the garage door openers are just slightly higher than the rails. I'm mainly concerned with raising the car and truck to the highest setting will...

I've only used one in wood shop in highschool which was over 12 years ago.... I can't think of any uses I would do other than making nice edges on pieces of wood that I hand on the wall.. IE: Make the edges look nice to my hose reel or routing the edge to my shelf I made that holds my mini...

I've never installed carpet before. So I'm looking for any advice. I have an air gun with staples. What is the best way to attach this carpet to the steps? What is the best way to handle the angle on the left side of the steps since they are not straight like on the right side? I am using...

This may be a silly question but I'm asking it anyways. Is there a down fall to drilling in my garage slab here shortly while the temps are sometimes hitting 20 degrees or colder? I want to bring my maxjax up finally from the basement and start placement in the garage, and if I get the...

I asked in an earlier thread about butcher block tops for my two base cabinets. Went to ikea last sunday and picked one up.. very pleased with it and very heavy. I will take a picture when I get home to show you but currently the laminate top is 73" wide and 20" deep. This pretty much shows...

I'm just tired of wiping down the toolchest because of dust and ****. Does anyone know of even a snap on/mac or matco tool chest cover that would fit? I can't imagine someone isn't using a cover for one, considering it's just a box. I know many people on here have this...

I just picked up a pretty good score from craigslist for the garage. Two base cabinets that are solid wood and pretty robust. The problem is the top laminate is kinda crappy. I'd like to replace it. Is there a butcher block that is roughly 70" wide and 20" deep? Or even laminate would be...

So I didn't realize this until I'm about to paint the stripes but it looks like each outlet is off by about an inch/ or half... See picture.... Is there an easy way of fixing this... When I tried to lower the one outlet the lip our outside of the blue junction box now doesn't rest against the...

So I am now officially painting the garage and I don't want to run into the problem I did last year with my town house garage. I have painted the ENTIRE walls and ceiling with 3 coats of bright white sherwin williams paint. It's nice: This is what it looks like at the moment.. What I want...

I don't even know if this is possible to do so I figured I'd ask. I am in the process of making my modding room. Pretty much it's my work room that I have my computer in, will have another computer at the work benches and my tv/counch.. it's big enough for me to do pretty much any project I...

Got some electrical outlets installed in the garage... I had one.. now I have 8!! :-) I took a couple pictures but what is the best way of fixing this. Normally I would fill it in with mud but is that recommended in this case around the cuts or would it be better to use something else? I once...
