I didn't really think this one through. I saw the deal and just jumped on it. I have a early 2000s Craftsman 26in top and bottom. Bottom unit's top draw is a nice 4in tall that holds all sockets standing up and I really do enjoy it. I've maxed it out pretty much. I picked up a 6 drawer HART...

I'm getting a m12 3/8 ratchet baretool. Sometime between now and maybe x-mas. I have enough batteries and chargers so only bare tool would be ideal. Homedepot has it for $100, few only places have refurb models for like $80. Is there a better deal out there?

Looking for a budget pressure washer to mainly to use on cars. Figure it would speed up the process and save time from going to the actual wash. Also light cement cleaning, if it doesn't clean the stains off completely its not the end of the world. I want to stay as cheap as possible/ bang...

I have the normal 2 car garage door opener for my 20x20. I got a craftsman unit that has a spot for a 60w bulb. When coming home at night it's rather dark inside the garage only that little bulb is lighting up the whole garage. Any way to increase lighting for the brief moment one pulls in...

This question is directed mainly to autel users. If I buy a used autel off ebay, will I be able to update it? Or do I need to pay for the updates?

I have a brick garage built in the 50's i would assume. Its a simple 20x20 detached garage in the city of chicago. Originally my garage had a wooden door with extension springs to give you an idea on how old. I got a simple steel door replacement. I got all the weather seals for the garage...

Got a chance to get one of them, both priced close enough not to matter. Originally I wanted the 3/8 because I thought it was a smaller version, but they are just different anvils. I have a full set of impact sockets with the 1/2 minus swivels. I don't have any impact sockets for 3/8 except a...

Ok guys… I need some serious help here. I know next to nothing on woodworking/the terminology used and saws. Right now I’m looking more of the terminology because most likely I’ll be paying someone to do the work for me. First off, this is a 20x20 brick garage. Probably around 50-60 years old...

Doing ball joints on my car. I knew I needed snap ring pilers, I had a bluepoint set of 2 or 3 about 5 years ago but they seem to have grown legs. Since this isn't something I've needed for 5 years, I went to HF and found the switchable head set for $3. Turns out these suckers don't spread...

I've never owned/used a grease gun before. I'm a shady tree mechanic/ average DIY. I mainly work on 98+ imports(mainly cars,no trucks), rarely do I come across a zerg fitting. I normally just install parts without greasing them. I just got some tie rod ends and saw the zerg fitting on them and...

Did the oil change on my father's camry. Someone screwed up the drain plug. It took way too much force to remove. When reinstalling, the last parts of the threads are really tight to install... I'm looking for a thread chaser/cleaner to try to repair this... Or should I just get a tap and...

My old man is getting up there in age. He still likes to wrench as much as the other guy and I'm happy about it. But let's face it he isn't the strongest and most mobile now. He called me over today to help with his friends car, just a rear brake job. Being in the Midwest, rear brake bolts are...

First time I fired up my compressor since winter to swap wheels over. Found out I have a slow leak at the drain valve. Most likely cause I left it open all winter. Either way... been meaning to replace it with a better, more easily accessible one. What is the size of my valve? I don't know...

http://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/MSC4SVA/HEAVY-DUTY-SERVICE-CART-SILVER-VEIN/?source=igodigital I'm considering getting one of these and using it as my main box. I'm going back into wrenching after a 4 year break ( personal issues that needed to be handled). I have a standard...

I was given a tool box when I graduated auto tech school. Never used it and well I found it again. Looks to be mint condition, never used and no imperfections. Im going to list it on craigslist or if someone here locally wants it. Chicago

CLICK I have a 14mm bolt that is holding my rear motor mount in place. But its right next to the steering colum/shaft. So i can only fit a wrench in, but i dont have a long 14mm. Autozone has this serp belt tool as a loaner tool. This paired up with a crowfeet would be pretty much a breaker...

I'm down to my last box of this stuff. I bought a box of 10 (100gloves in each) about 3 years ago off eBay. Lasted me that long. I never had many issues. I think I got them for $4 a box after shipping. The blue ones never gave me issues. The white and clear ones that were non- nitirle were...

Hey guys, just picked up an m12 hex impact wrench. Looking to get some bits for this. I'm looking for a general all in one set for now and just add on. I have drill bits from my old drill but they aren't hex style. So I'll be starting fresh. My purpose is mainly general home owner and light...

I got a front lip and grill I need to be painted. Almost no prep needed. Parts are off the car. I noticed people have posted up paint booths here before, hoping maybe I can find someone.

I'm looking to pick up a 3/8 deep mm socket set to use with a 3/8 12v impact driver. I'm looking for inexpensive set. I have my snappy for my hand tools but I want something just for this impact, most likely a Milwaukee m12 3/8. Sub $50 would be nice.
