Hey folks, I am going to put insulation and drywall over this space: However, on either side of that center 2x6 there is no stud for me to screw in the ends of the drywall. I was going to cut a 2x4 and nail it in from the side so I could have something to attach the drywall to. Is this the...

Apparently Home Depot has increased the price of their 8-gallon compressor and changed the color. After looking at them in the store they appear to be put together worse than the old red versions. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-8-Gal-Portable-Electric-Air-Compressor-TA-2530B/202564847 Any...

Home Depot has the Briggs & Stratton Quantum lawnmower maintenance kit on sale/clearance for $6.00, regularly $9.98. I don't see it listed on their site so it might be an in-store only deal. YMMV. The B&S part number is 5106. The Home Depot SKU is 024847637694.

This was on Slickdeals so it may already be gone, but you can't go wrong for $20.00. http://www.kmart.com/craftsman-2.0-amp-compact-a-c-multi-tool/p-010W002382185001P?prdNo

Went by the Sears outlet in Raleigh today and apparently they are having a tent sale. many of the reconditioned power tools were an extra 50% off and other stuff was an extra 10% off. YMMV but I saw: -83 piece mechanic's set for $29.99 -7 piece nut driver set for $9.99 -20 piece 80th...

Was in Wal-Mart today and at the sporting goods counter they had a Winchester branded multi-tool set and knives on clearance for $7.00. It looks like the knives were left over from Father's Day as they say "Dad" on the blade and have a "Happy Father's Day" case. They are Chinesium but maybe...

Hey folks, I will be needing a compressor soon for basic things like inflating tires and blowing debris of the lawnmower. This Husky brand at Home Depot I've seen for $99...

For my workbench I used a 1-inch thick laminated particle board top that came off of a lab station. It is one of those black countertops used in school chemistry labs everywhere. I wanted to mount a vice to it but didn't know if I should shore it up with a block of wood between the vice and...

Anyone have experience with this hose: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=201015&navAction= It is on sale for $20 and all my cheap green nylon hoses are kinked up. Figured I'd upgrade. I thought about getting the rolling hose cart but they don't seem to hold up, any...

I usually peruse the Sears in the mall and haven't been impressed with their tool sales, however today I was in a Sears parts store in Raleigh and they had lots of stuff on clearance compared to the stores. I got a 4 piece 80th anniversary pliers set for $12.50 and a punch/chisel set for $10.00...

I made myself a small car toolkit with a HF composite wrench, the color socket set and a couple of screwdrivers. I want to add some wrenches to the mix and was thinking of these: http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-metric-highly-polished-combo-wrench-set-42305.html I've seen on this board...

I need something for my Snapper lawnmower battery. This was $7.99 at HF today but I don't know if it will work, kill my battery or start a fire so I thought I'd ask the collective: http://www.harborfreight.com/automatic-battery-float-charger-42292.html I did look at the pass/fail thread but...

I need a basic compressor (inflate tires, blowing dust off stuff, etc.) and while looking at air compressors in Sears this one was the only one close to being made in the USA (assembled in USA from global and domestic components)...

I have a "sticking" garage door with an automatic opener that is likely due to lack of lubrication. I found some old threads that recommended spraying the track channels but I thought that would attract more dirt? Also, would spray white lithium grease work better/worse than silicone? What...

FS: Craftsman ratchets and sockets Items moved to new thread.

Back in early August there was a guy at the fairgrounds flea market that had a huge lot of tools. Apparently he buys them from estate sales and resells them. Anyone know how often he shows up? I had his card but lost it. He usually rents a parking space on the Dorton Arena side and has a...

I'm going to be replacing the shocks/struts on my wife's car and was looking at inexpensive impact wrenches. I don't have an air compressor or tools nor can I afford them right now, plus I don't do this kind of work often enough to justify the cost. Both Northern tool and Harbor Freight have...
