    Workbench Against Wall vs. Center Worktable

    I have a 20x28 garage so we have about the same garage. I have 1 bay dedicated to a workshop. A 3ftx10ft workbench sits in the middle separating the "shop" area and the one parking spot that is left. I have another workbench set up against the unused door and a large tool chest and storage...

    Husky vs US general tool cart

    I don't have either but I have admired both in the store. I would call it a tie on quality. If the black husky had 5 drawers I'd own it.

    Recommend Bostitch Smart Point 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Model #12233

    Item #68021 is what I own. I don't know where I found the 12.99 coupon but I've seen it multiple times. I used to use a craftsman 18 gauge nailer and I think the HF performs better. A brad nailer is such a simple tool. Most problems come from user error such as not using quality nails, not...

    Recommend Bostitch Smart Point 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Model #12233

    I've never used a bostitch so no opinion there. I do own the HF 18g brad nailer, a framing gun and a roofing gun and have have no problems with any of them. The 18g is 12.99 with a coupon. I think it all comes down the the nails you feed them. I buy Dewalt nails from Home Depot. Make sure you...

    Black Friday Continues This Weekend at The Home Depot

    Looking at the amount of left over stock at my Home Depot I believe the sale is going to last through the end of the year. I've got a few things I'll buy if they go on clearance.

    How to straighten those icicle Christmas lights?

    I just lightly pull them straight for a moment and move on to the next icicle. Gravity and the sun seem to straighten them in a few days.

    Ace hardware 50% regular priced item black friday $30 and under

    ace is a few towns over from me so it's not my normal stop. On Black Friday I always take the %50 coupon and wonder around the store looking for USA made tools I could use. Nothing in mind this year. I bought an Estwing camp axe last year.

    There are some deals there. I think most of us own anything on the ad worth owning.

    need a price please

    The new price is normally 369 with coupon plus sales tax. Id price it at 250 and be glad to get 200 because of the wheels. The people saying 100-150 must not look on craigslist often.

    Bench Grinder options

    six inch should work for you. It's all going to depend on the horsepower and that 1/3 Baldor is not going to be enough. It's going to bog down any time you have real work to be done. Id choose at least a 1/2 or 3/4 horsepower grinder. The old craftsman block grinders have a huge following here...

    I am compiling all of the black friday tool ads in one spot.

    Thanks. Every year the Black Friday threads turn into people bashing it. You people don't have to go shopping. Go to work or work in the garage. I always use the 50% coupons at ace.

    Furnace Filter Cover?

    This thread made me finally get around to fixing mine. I also used the foil tape. I knew it should have had a cover just needed a little inspiration.

    chamberlain opener ?

    I called chamberlain recently. The wait time is long but the customer service agent I got seemed knowledgeable. I would give them a call. They sell replacement remotes, maybe something inside is degrading.

    whats your most used tools?

    I'm always remodeling the house so the Dewalt miter saw and ryobi impact driver are my most used tools. I guess I can say one of the 100 tape measures I have laying around here get used almost daily also. If I knew I would use the impact driver as much as I do I would have bought a Milwaukee...

    And now - for something completely different...maybe

    I would have cut those trees down before the project started. It's not too late now just more tedious.

    Security camera/ trail cam

    I would try a security camera with a solar panel for power. I've seen every kind of security feature on trail cameras fail. It's all in how determined the thief is.
