I only have a few years on you, but I remember when my perfect, awesome eyes started to **** out on me due to middle age. My eyes are terrible now I am still searching for the right answer, but if you haven't checked out an optivisor yet, get one. Get a cheap one until you figure out if...

Just got mine. Thank you OP! Nice find. Seem like solid quality.

Please enter me as a contestant. Some of my best 1/2" ratchets are SK

Thanks for the suggestions! I never thought about the tubes threading into the fitting. I will give that a shot. The problem with just pulling the wires in (aside from the obvious that they make 3 90* turns around some sort of "axle" in each joint), is that i can't access the inside of the...

I will try to post the picture you request. It's a smooth face. No -- they don't seem to make the joint looser. The joint is fairly loose and stays that was regardless of how I twist the knurled parts. and, only one of them allows me to spin the knurled "caps" in opposite direction. I...

It seems as if the knurled end caps can rotate together by hand. If I (carefully) use pliers I can rotate them in opposite directions (in either direction) but it takes an assload of force and I can’t really pull them apart simultaneously. TLDR: I think, but am not sure, that they are not...

As most of you likely are, I’m the fix-it guy around the house. I am generally successful at my endeavors. I have a light fixture that has me stumped. It’s a lighted makeup mirror on a boom arm with an articulating head. I’ve determined that there is a problem with one of the conductors...

Jim: Your experience with, expertise, and restorative prowess in world of planes is absolutely stunning to me.

Somehow, I just don't think that's going to be a problem for you jimreed.

Thought I'd toss in a rather unique project here that I'm working on. First an introduction: I've been on the Journal here for a loooong time. Been watching this thread since it's inception. I have a little shed that houses my lawn and garden tools, and also serves as a dimunitive workshop...

I completely agree with the hinge templates for a router. Makes quick work of it. And, if you decide to go the chisel route (pun intended), then I'd suggest switching from the 5/8" radius corner hinges to a square hinge and use one of the striking corner chisel gizmos. It will help and also...

Re: Adding Outlets in Garage A little late, but the standard-issue Ideal Brand Tan Twister wirenut (model 314) is rated for 4 #12AWG solid. Also rated for quite a bit more, which is why its so popular and has been for so long. If you're going to do 4 solid #12's --- strip longer than the...

Any interest in electrolysis? Overnight would likely get you there. Cheap isn't even the word for it. A little bit of work getting set up, but once you see the results you will find countless things to derustify.

I know! The store that is two miles from my house wants $39.98 for a pair. It's kinda nutty.

Hi Nigel; Any finished photos? Looks great so far. Like you, I swore off tiling near the beginning of my project, before I was done. Once done, I still thought it kind of sucked, but I know I'll do it again -- and I'll be a little bit better at it.

Oaks, PA Lowes had 60 left last Thursday at $9.99. I got three, two to keep. Not sure if they will end up being my go to, but I put one in my electrical bag. As of this morning, showing #45. Also, Exeter, PA had the wire cutter for $9.00 on Saturday. Still one left. #638073.

I'm in the middle of a 70 square foot tile project. I've done a couple smaller ones, but years ago. Everything everyone said above (except, I'm not sure on the "'premixed" -- i think that's mastic and you should use mortar based thinset for flooring)... I used the Schluter Ditra Mat. My...

I placed an order on 8/22 and rec'd it today. Nice quality. Super nice guys there. I got a lot of sizes. I'm now spending my commuting time thinking about the best way to organize and store all of these, plus all my other hole saws.

Mine are scheduled for delivery today. Last night, over dinner, I said to my wife, "ummm, I've been meaning to tell you this...I've been wanting to get 2 or 3 more ammo cans, and last monday, I saw a deal on the GJ Hot Deals thread...." She just shook her head. I stopped my explanation and...

I Agree! Can you explain to the uninformed, how you can do work like that without a brake? Do you use hand seamers? I'm amazed.
