So admittedly I was a craigslist guy, but when FB marketplace basically took over from all the CL scams- I adjusted accordingly, so. . . I recently posted my Hobart AirForce 12ci Plasma cutter for $350. I used this thing once and quickly learned I didn't have the skill, time, or patience to...

So 13-14 years ago my neighbor was downsizing his pressure washer and was looking to sell his Katcher 2400 for $100 in like new condition (this dude was meticulous with his tools). So I picked it up and its worked great and given me over a decade of faithful service. Well I went to use a few...

So I have “some” concrete experience pouring cement pads for various things over the years, but for the past few years I’ve been seriously considering buying a cement mixer instead of the ole wheel barrel method. The truth is that I have several projects on property requiring several larger...

So before quite air compressors were mainstream, I remember picking up a California Air Tools (CAT) 10g/2HP air compressor. It was super quite and seemed pretty well built. I remember the first one I owned developed an air leak from a bad air rail system. I contacted CAT and they sent me a...

So I have my 3/8 in automatic air hose reel mounted to the ceiling of my garage. Even after a week of use my first thought was “How did I go so long without one of these.” Then that got me thinking, as looked at my 100 foot electrical extension cord. I wonder if they make a simular automatic...

So I do alot of furniture refinishing projects, vintage Jeep products, and various other tinkering. I always wanted to equip my garage with a simple air solution so I can avoid dragging my air compressor around. So I came up with this simple solution utilizing some Tekton hybrid air hoses that...

Bought this new last year, ran it through its break in period, and I have not used it since. Its just too much air compressor for my needs. Like new, still has the tags on it. Retails for over $900 new. My loss is your gain. $550 Local Pick up only. (Near Tallahassee, FL)

So i get the general premise, brushes wear out whereas brushless do not. But for a DIY type, does it really matter or is this a keeping up with the Jone’s sort of situation? I only ask because I have several brushed Dewalt tools and they work just fine for the 5 plus years I’ve had them. I’ve...

So here’s whats going on (cause I’m trying really hard not to hyjack someone elses thread). Back in 2012/2013’ish I got a California Air Tools 2 HP/ 10 Gallin oiless air compressor. Seems like back during that time, Calf. Air Tools was on the “cutting edge” of the quite air compressors. In 2020...

So I’m on a garage organization kick as of late, as my garage has been is a constant state of total FUBAR with stuff everywhere, no organization, and hobo paths to get from one side of the garage to the other. It also doesn’t help that my wife can’t turn down anything listed for “free” with her...

Looking for saw horse recommendations . . . I’m done with the cheap plastic folding saw horses. Looking to upgrade to something more substancial but also DIY freindly as I’m not making a living with this stuff. Looking at the Dewalt or the more expensive Bora alternative. Need real world...

I’ve historically found good and bad tools from several brands that I either like or I avoid. With that said, I’m not a brand loyalist. I find what works, and if I like them, then that’s what I use. Keep in mind I’m a DIY’er not making a living off their tools, so I have always avioded tool...

Noticed as of late there were alot of sperate threads related to Tekton stuff and I thought it might be beneficial to just start a Tekton Tool Thread. So post your Tekton Tools, questions, comments, or any thoughts related to Tekton here:

So I’m debating as I go down the rabbit hole of garage organization, or in my case, the lack thereof- possibably going with a modular tool storage system. I know these systems are mainly used for people on the go, so I’m not 100% sure this will be my best option moving forward. I currently have...

Admittedly I’ve been using the same old Craftsman Mechanics Tool set my father purchased me in high school. Some 20 plus years later most of the sockets I’ve lost, so I’ve been limping by picking up cheap Dewalt sets from Costco, or purchasing one’s and twosies to replace what I lost or...

So I am not welding with alot of frequency since I completed my Willys project. Last time I went to use it, seemed like the 75/25 argon wasn’t flowing- so I figured the tank was empty. I pulled the tank today and it felt HEAVY. Leaving me to question whether it was actually empty or if I have...

So a few years ago I decide to move back to the Southeast from the Pacific Northwest. Back when I lived here before, I was younger, in the military, and I was not a home owner. Now I’m looking to explore how I can make my garage a bit more confortable and less humid during the summer months...

Curious issue. Mower has been sitting in the shed all winter, went to move it the other day. It cranked but the battery didn’t have enough juice to crank over the motor. No biggie, so I put a battery tender on it over night. Went out there today and now it won’t crank at all. My first thought...

So back in the day I worked at a school that taught construction, and I spent a ton of time watching the cement masonry instructor and asking alot of questions. To be honest, I always admired and respected what cement masons do and what they can create. I have a basic understanding of what they...
