Hey has anyone tried to replicate the sound reducing technologies on these or have their own ideas? Chet...

Son My son left me his US General 26" roller cabinet because at the shop where he used to work someone destroyed the lock trying to break into it. So now only every other drawer will open and the others remain stuck in the closed position. Is there a way to remove/replace the drawer lock...

So I picked one of these up cheap for my garage attic and it seams sturdy enough. I mounted it in the attic opening, adjusted it for height opened and extended it to the floor with no issues. Now for the life of me I can't figure how to retract it to the closed position. It was used so I...

So I picked up a used $20 Paslode Impulse framing nailer at a garage sail and I want to clean it up before using it. 2 questions 1. What can I used on the exterior plastic part of the gun? Was thinking simple green degreaser 2. Found a Youtube vid on cleaning the insides and lubrication...

I know I've seen some of these in commercial garages, but has anyone ever installed a "Man Door" in their Garage Bay door? Was it difficult, will it work on Foam/Aluminum doors as well as Wood ones? Do they make some kind of universal kits for these? Thanks, Chet

So during a moderate snow the auger stopped working on this fairly new snow blower. Looked at the shear pins 1st and they are all intact. The auger will turn freely by hand (unit was off during test). I tightened the auger cable with no change so I think my next step is to look for a broken...

So this may be an obvious answer, but what are you guys using to line your 12 gallon shop vacs? I've tried several generic trash bags and some don't fit well over the wide opening and others are too thin and often obstruct the vacuum inlet, Are there specific bags made for these? Thinking I...

So I've been considering buying one of the LTPDC2000D Plasma Cutter Tig Stick Welder 3 in 1 Combos and the price just came down to my budget range. My question is that should I get one that has a Pilot Arc plasma torch (This model has one) or are they not needed? A guy selling a similar 3 in...

I picked up a Torin Big Red Motorcycle jack at a garage sale this weekend for $30 bucks. Was going to hold out for the nice Craftsman aluminum unit but I need something right now. Does anyone know where the model numbers are located (I looked and did not see it) It seams to lift ok, but its...

So I had one of these years ago, but never replaced it when it finally died after years of reliable service. Was Marketed by "Prestone" the antifreeze company I think. Looking for the best bang for the buck. Not "air compressor combos" just the highest cold cranking amps for the money...

So I need to open my wall between the floors on my Bi-Level (God I miss my Colonial with the big basement!) and I like using the HF oscillating multi tool for cutting drywall. The section I'm cutting runs almost floor to ceiling about 15 inches wide between the studs. My thoughts are to screw...

Not promoting this, it seams like another take on one of those gimmick "double-cut" saws. Has anyone tried or reviewed one of these? https://www.getrotorazer.com/?mid=8595675&a=371189&s=&ClickID=11_198757950_6822d48b-7556-4f3b-bca0-4c7c9da4ba36

Plasma-Stick-Tig 3 in 1 combo comparisons? So I'm close to pulling the trigger on one of 2 of these Chinese made units. Does anyone have any preference (or experince good or bad) with either the PRIMEWELD CT520DP or the Lotos LTPDC2000D? Both are Pilot Arc and seam to have similar capacity's...

So I have 3 of these (2 HF "cheapies" and 1 Makita) I use them for grinding, cutting and sanding. I don't like to take the time to change the wheels for different jobs (call me lazy and the HF units were $10 new, the Makita a $5 garage sale find), but I'd like to build a holder similar to the...

So I got one of these for free and the motor runs great, but the pump won't put out any water at all. I removed and cleaned the thermal relief valve, but still got no water. Are these throw away pumps or is there something obvious Im missing (Unloder valve does not seam to be accessible if it...

Harbor Freight sells at least 3 different Portable Garages or Carports all of the same size (10 x 17) Some are branded Cover Pro and others carry the HF name. Are there any meaningful differences? Thanks,Chet

So I have this crazy concept of taking an old metal tube frame from one of those vinyl covered 10' x 20 ' carports (that rip after 2 years) and making it a more semi-permanent storage structure. On the roof I plan on attaching some wood nailers and then covering it with corrugated steel...

So Im rebuilding a cheap hydraulic floor jack because I hate to see stuff thrown away and I was in need of some replacement O-rings. Harbor Freight sells several very nice assortment kits that claim to be petroleum resistant, but are the Nitrile ones better suited for this environment than the...

With all the Radio Shacks closing I was wondering if anyone has a good (see cheap) source for generic replacement bulbs that go in DC Automotive Test lights? One of my bulbs has "pointed ends" on it and the other one looks like a standard glass type fuse with the flat ends. Hoping the new LED...

So I've been looking for ideas to mod my HF Tire changer using cut pieces from nylon cutting boards to prevent the rims from getting scratched and I have found some useful info on adding nylon to the bead breaker, but very little info about modding the demounting / mounting bar. (Yes I know...
