I need to soak my vise parts to get rid of almost 70 years of old dried up grease. What is the best (cheapest and easiest) solution? I was planning to soak it for a couple of day.

After almost a year of searching for a tradesman or bullet with the requirement of paying no more than $70, I finally got a 4" bullet. I was heading down to CT on Friday for the weekend and had checked the local CL before I left with no luck. I checked again on Friday night and found a work...

http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/tls/4988404448.html I've been looking for a vise to rebuild for some time now to clean up and make look it nice. I don't really have any experience with this kind of thing. What do you guys think?

I am looking for an inexpensive decent quality tool bag for the essentials (hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, tape measure, vise grips, zip-ties etc.) to keep in my truck along with my craftsman mechanics set. I want good quality but I don't need something that is designed for service use every day...

Not quite garage related but I knew you all would have some good ideas… I received several nice pots and pans for free but the problem is most of the bottoms are caked with charged blackness. Ive tried soaking them in dish soap with vinegar, bar keepers friend and even brake cleaner (only on...

I need to pick up a 3/8 breaker bar since I finally broke a craftsman ratchet (with the help of a 3' cheater) by being stubborn and not buying a breaker bar. I was planning on getting a kobalt 12" bar but checked out the HF 17" bar. Are they any good? I know a ton of people rave about the 1/2"...

I have $90 left on a sears gift card once I buy the gear wrench ratchet wrench set. I want to get an impact wrench for my new compressor which supplies 5.3cfm @90psi. I'm only a weekend warrior so I don't need anything over the top. I'm thinking about this one...

Are the HF parking lot sales any good? I have one around the block from my office and needed another heat gun. Do they have much more on sale than the coupons they advertise? All "good" quality or is it the returns?

I was going to buy an air blowgun for my new compressor. Do people like the pistol grip style or the other one? Any worthwhile brands to look at? The pistol grip Campbell Hausfeld has good reviews on amazon for $5

I'm picking up my new 10gal 2hp California compressor from HD in a couple days. What is the best all around air hose to get for it? I will be using it for nailers, tire inflators and occasionally an impact wrench. I really like the idea of a 100' amflo polyurethane hose but don't think it would...

I've done a search and can't quite find someone that was in the similar boat as me. I am looking for a portable compressor under $250ish. This will be used for nailers and staplers (but who knows what else I could get in to). I have looked at the 8gal husky and kobalt models. Which is...

I have been looking to get a rivet gun just for small projects around the house and garage. What's the difference in all the rivet guns on the market? Will they all do the work for a DIYer like myself or are there any brands I need to look at/stay away from? Thanks. Edit: I understand using...

Wow! What a great site. Can't believe it took me so long to find it. First post is a question. I found a smaller adjustable Cresent wrench a couple months ago that is very clean besides the fact it is frozen in one position. I tried WD40 to no avail. Any other thoughts?
