I am looking to make my 23x23 inch tool stand mobile. Right now I keep my miter saw on it. To make any cuts, I need to move the saw. Now that I am getting older, moving this is not in my best interest. I have a piece of 3/4 inch plywood. My thought was to cut the plywood just slightly wider...

Recently, my daughter signed a contract with a roofing company. She elected to go with GAF singles for a number of reason, one being a long warranty. Being somewhat aware of the GAF requirements, I had the roofing company follow all of the requirements. In the contract it lists the company’s...

I was at my daughter's house doing some other repairs when I noticed her concrete porch had two cracks. One was a smaller crack and the other was larger and a little puzzling to me. First, I am a low level DIYer who is good (well okay) at minor repairs or will view Youtube for repairs that are...

My daughter has a brick wall that needs some mortar repair. The wall has probably three prior repairs over the last sixty years. I am not a masonry person, but the repair looks straight forward, well somewhat straight forward. Okay, the wall has three different mortar lines: 1. Smooth...

Was wondering how some of the board members are installing their fire extinguisher in the garage. Right now mine is just sitting on a shelf. Was wondering if it might be best to install a fire extinguisher cabinet versus the normal strap or bracket design. Had the old extinguisher mounted...

Okay need a little help between getiing an air ratchet ot a lower torque impact wrench. I spend a lot of time removing and sharpening mower blades. Due to some medical issues, using an air tool versus a regular ratchet will work better for my condition. The question is what will work better...

Question about oiled air compressors. Does letting an oiled air compressor sit for weeks cause any issues, mainly on the pump? I do not use my compressor often and was wondering if this had any long-term issues(s).

Well, it looks like I narrowed down my compressor choice to the Dewalt 30 gallon that Tractor Supply will have on sale for Black Friday and the Lowes’ Kobalt 30 gallon two stage compressor, which is built by Campbell Hausfeld. Was waiting until black Friday to see what compressors might be...

Are extended warranties on air compressors a good decision? For me, I don’t usually buy them. Some of the manufactory warranties are for two or three years, but it is normally for one year for all parts and labor, but the remaining year(s) do not include any wear parts, which is basically...

Has anyone replaced the cells in their C3 ion batteries? My understanding the local Batteries Plus store will do it. Is it tought to do?

I have just noticed that the local Tractor Supply has their 30 gallon, belt driven Porter Cable air compressor on sale for $349. It is the gray tank version. The manager was not sure why certain Porter Cable models went on clearance, but she thinks it might be to bring in newer models. Antway...

Looking to see if any forum member has the Kobalt 26 gallon Quiet Tech air compressor? I am going to be replacing my old compresser and it looks like the Quiet Tech will fit the bill. I do not need this big of an air tank, but the next size down in the Quiet Tech series is too small. I am okay...

Does anyone have the Craftsman oilless 20 gallon air compressor? Trying to get feedback on this compressor. My last two compressors were Craftsman (both oilless) and they have held up well. Not so sure how the newer models are fairing out. Was looking at the Wen compressor, but cannot get any...

Looking to see if any forum member has a Wen air compressor.. if so, how do you like it? I am looking at the 10 gallon model

Never owned an oil compressor, so I have a couple questions. My garage, where I store my compressor, gets pretty cold in the winter, will the cold temperatures cause an issue at start up? Also, our garage is only used for my workshop and storage, will an oil filled compressor leave an oil smell...

I am looking for opinions and thoughts on what air compressor I should get to replace my aging 25 year old Craftsman oilless 8 gallon compressor. What I am looking for is a vertical 10 gallon model. Larger than 10 gallon size may not fit in the allocated spot. Oilless versus oil is not a huge...

My old Craftsman 8 gallon oiless air compressor will need to be replaced sometime in the near future. I am looking for forum members' opinions and thoughts on the purchasing of a new compressor. My usage: Fill vehicle tires Occasionally use a stapler or small nail gun Air off the lawn mowers...

This is my first post on GJ. Over the last week or so, I have been doing research for a new tool chest I just happen to come across this forum while doing my research. I just retired over the last year and I finally started to clean out the garage and get my tools/workbench organized. I...
