I have a couple of the legendary 44" HF boxes. One that is 3 years hold has broken slide. Where do I get a new one and is it under warranty?

I'm installing one of these electric automatic air compressor drain on my 80 gallon compressor. I have a couple questions: 1. Should I drill a hole through the wall and drain it outside? 2. Should I use 1/4 inch pipe to run through the wall or is a good plastic line fine on these? Thank you

I'm building an office inside my 40' x 60' shop. I want some nice windows to look out into the shop from the office. Maybe two windows that are 2' x 3' and one a bit bigger. I've been on the Menards website and can't really find anything. I want just a plain window to see through. It...

Doing some remodeling in house.......We have an older central heating system. The last years we have used a St. Croix Auburn pellet/corn stove for most heating and when it gets below 25 degrees we turn on the central heat. I was planning on replacing with new pellet stove when the remodel...

What are some good quality quick change connectors for air hoses and tools that won't break the bank? I think I am using style I/M now. However I work in my shop every day and it seems like these start leaking air way too soon and I buy more at 2-3 dollars a pop. Is there something that will...

I have a couple Vacula blow guns and need a couple more, but can't get myself to pay the price. The Astro ones are reasonable on Amazon. Does anyone know how the Astro blowguns hold up or have another suggestion?

I have 1 Harbor Freight 44 box and really like it. We just added another machine in the machine shop and need another box. The local Orschelins has Montezuma boxes on sale. A stainless 41" for $379 and a blue metal one for $236. Are these as heavy duty as the HF 44? I guess I can go look...

I'm wanting to get another HF 44 box. What about organizing? I have lots of drills, endmill, and small boxes of inserts. I really need a good idea how divide the drawers up into compartments like you can the Lista type boxes. It's one of those things where I don't have the $ to spend on...

I need a good cabinet for storing shop supplies in. I don't want to order from somewhere and pay truck shipping. Is there anything worth anything that I can buy from a big box store and haul home myself. I guess I am not thinking of something in the Lista zone, but something a bit more...

I have one of the revered Harbor Freight 44 toolboxes. I have really liked and it use it daily beside one of my lathes. Now the top drawer will not stay closed, and its driving us crazy. Anybody have a fix for this?

My hired man is wanting to purchase a socket set for his home shop. He is young and getting his first toolbox set up. He wants the 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 drive sets. He is not a professional, but wants something that will last him years. I have been telling him just to go to HF and get something...

6 months ago I bought a corded 1/2" hammer drill from Harbor Freight. I drilled 4 holes in the concrete with it. Now I was drilling some holes in my welding table and the bit got stuck and I tried reversing it and it won't work any more. Just dead, thats all. Is there some easy fix to this...

I am considering buying this 9" grinder from Harbor Freight. http://www.harborfreight.com/9-in-heavy-duty-angle-grinder-69085.html Has any one tried this one? I don't use a large grinder very often in my shop, but borrowed one a week ago and will need it again for some heavy duty grinding in a...

Hi--I need a simple welding table pretty quick here for a project I am starting. I don't have time to put just a whole bunch of time into this. I would like it 5 ft long by at least 2 ft wide. Is there something good out there I can purchase? I do have access to a local shop that can laser...

I have had my new compressor with a 80 gallon vertical tank installed for a couple weeks now. I had put off checking the drain valve to see if it had water in it. Surprise, this evening I drained around a gallon of water. It has no drain system installed just the little spigot at the bottom...

I am wiring my 30' x 40' shop. The sidewalls are 14 ft. high. Any recommendations on what kind of lights I should put in? I really don't have any ideas. Is there like some kind of online lighting planner where you enter your dimensions and it tells you how far apart to space your light fixtures...

I put up a lamp post for my wife. Included with the lamp post is photoelectric eye so the light will be a dawn dusk type. When I wire it direct it turns on and off at the flip of a switch. When I wire in the photoelectric eye and cover the eye with my finger it does not come on. Shouldn't it...

Hi, I have a 40 x 30 x 12 Adams Truss shop I am putting up. What would you all recommend? Spray foam is good, but hardly feel I can afford it. Then rolled bat type insulation is quite economical. Also I can get a thermax board that supposed to be really good. What have you all been happy...
