This thread is not intended to be ******* contest on which welder is the best. I’m of the opinion that you purchase whatever welder fits your needs, intended purpose (residential vs. commercial) and you budget. With that said, Hobart (for me) ticked every single box and after 8 years of...

So I’m in dire need of additional space, as my 2 car garage is PACKED! So I’m considering a enclosed pole barn or a stick built garage/ shop. I have zero experience with this. All I know is I’m on over an acre so I have the space to build, but due to my HOA, my options are: 1. Stick built...

So I have 1.3 acres to attend to. Not super large, but enough where i need quality equipment. Personally, I’ve had great luck with gas powered equipment, hedgers, chainsaws, blowers, etc. I have two go too brands: Husky (for almost everything) Predator (for any in-between) What are you using?

At my last house I had two vises. The bigger one I bought from Costco (can’t remember the brand) but it was fantastic. Then I had a smaller vintage Dunlap vise which was also nice. But when I sold my last place I left both of them behind for the new owner and now I need to replace them. I’m a...

I have the 20v line, for better or worse, and I NEED an ultra portable air inflator; not that POS bulky brick you currently sell. Multiple tool manufacturers are producing them now, get off your ashe Dewalt, I needed this like yesterday! LETS GO! :mad:

So being military and having the ability to travel, I’ve seen alot of different methods when it comes to all sorts of stuff. So after my fence was built, since I fenced in an entire acre, and the cost of wood stain/ preservative would have put me in the poor house, I decided to something...

Need advice as I’ve got a head scratcher here. All my exterior wall electrical outlets are non-op and have no power going to them and I cannot figure out why. I do not have a label in my electrical panel that clearing says “Outside Outlets” so I’m asuming it runs off the garage breaker? Here is...

Okay I'll admit this is not the sexiest tool topic, but considering some of these reside in our garages, I figured I'd start this thread. Not sure if this is going to start a worthwhile conversation, or be more of a public service announcement sort of thread; but here we go . . . So I HATE the...

I have a 20v Dewalt impack gun but it only came with one battery, so I'm looking in options (if there are any). Are the other 20 volt batteries **** as the 20v max interchangable? Does Amazon sell a worthwhile unbranded battery? I'm a home hobbyist, so I don't make a living with my tools.

I recently popped for a new cargo trailer and I'm alway facinated with what people can do with these things. From mobile work shops, converting them to RV's, bug out vehicles, or race trailers. Personally I bought mine to haul around my racing go karts, and I plan to build a small bunk house/...

So I haven't logged in for a while, and with good reason. Promotion at work took us from Oregon to Florida, so I find myself dealing with two realities: 1. Downsizing from a 3 car garage to a 2 garage is no fun. Or in the words of my old Master Sergeant- "About as much fun as getting naked and...

I'm a Hobart guy, so my set up includes: - Hobart 210 MPV (110v/220v) - Hobart 12ci Plasma Cutter (110v with built in air compressor) - Mated to a HF welding cart I'm a hobby welder out of my garage, mostly welding on WW2 Jeeps. Lets see what YOU have . . .

Being a penny pincher by blood, and a cheap skate at heart- I always go with demo models or factory reconditioned stuff whenever possible. So it you have a lead on place to get these deals, post them here! (I'll start) Hobart Factory Reconditioned Welders and Plasma Cutters...

The previous owner of my place turned a (3/2) 1,000 sq. foot ranch into a 2,050 sq. foot (2/2) . . . don't get me started . . . One of the things I'd like to change is the side facing garage; my preference would be to have it face the street. Any insight as to how to accomplish this. I have...

Back in the day I took a small engine rebuild class as elective credit in coolege, thats right, coolege. During that time I quickly realized after tearing into several different makes/ models that Husky quality was leaps and bounds above others manufactures. Keep in mind this circa 1999. Fast...

Every so often you come across a deal so ridiculously good, you take double take, look over your shoulder (twice) and proceed to fuel your tool addiction. Post them here. Whether its a craigslist deal, big box store, or whatever . . . Here was my latest score: 26 piece Titan Screw Driver Set...

I love discovering new products, but if your anything like me you HATE spending hard earned cash of complete **** (Hindsight 20/20). What products do you swear by? Personally speaking, I'm a huge fan of this stuff. Its actually a better adhesive than their actual adhesive products, lol.

So we recently moved in, but here is the new garage (under construction) . . . Stats on the new house: 2,050 Sq. Ft 2 Bed/ 2 Bath / 3 Car Garage (3rd car garage on opposite end of the house) (Titled as a 3 bedroom prior to P.O. remodel) 2.7 acres (riverfront)

After a year of homelessness (renting) I finally purchased a new 3 acre river front ranch out in the county. It came with a two car garage, and a third car garage on the opposite side of the house. I've decided the two car garage will be built into the primary location where I will house my...
