Knipex snap ring pliers

My sunex 1/2" drive metric impact set of short and long sockets has been flawless so far. My wobble 1/2" impact extensions have been fine too, but I have not beat them up at the limit. With my Aircat 1/2" impact, everything always zips off easily and quietly. I don't like the sunex Allen head...

These are all great, thanks guys. Decided I'm going to keep it simple with rain gutters on the back line, table tilted ever so slightly. Thinking easiest to flush mount a drain ****** under the end of each gutter (via epoxy putty), then hose to an empty oil or ATF jug. Then when near full, swap...

Huge fan of these forums, browsing every day lately. How would you setup an existing metal work table bench to catch and drain fluid from transmission rebuilds and other oily messes? I figured I would slope the table either back or to the side, mount metal rain gutter under the edge, slope the...

Finished shelving project. They'll be full in no time. So will have to put up even more.

Put 3" locking peg casters from Lowes on my Harbor Freight 20 ton shop press. They had 3/8-16 threaded rods, so clamped them in the existing holes with washers and stainless steel nuts (for their strength). Painted another stretch of wall after measuring and predrilling for more shelf brackets...

I too am dead set on the BL-5000 if the price is a reasonable +20to30% or so over the BL-3500. Wish a BL-4000 existed since that would cover 95% of modern cars, as opposed to the BL-3500 which covers the lighter half. Most everything coming out today is hitting that 3500-3900lb window...

The brackets are up on the newly painted white wall. Learned that not all the brackets measure identically. So the biggest variance I've seen vertically is about 3/16". I dislike my painted white plywood boards. Will be buying Melemine white shelf boards from Lowes instead. At least I have a...

On the back wall, spot priming with oil-based primer, then 2 coats semigloss latex paint. On the shelf boards, two coats oil based primer then final coat same latex semigloss. Other side of the boards is bare plywood, which will be facing up. In retrospect, I should have bought white melomine...

^^ Thanks, that's the plan. Wanting the ideal of a paint finish coat that will look really nice for when visitors are in the garage judging me :( But the brackets are white, so I nice grey gloss or semigloss would clash. White it is. Hoping to at least be done painting tonight.

Last night, two levels of high shelves sanded and ready to be painted. Probably just going to paint them semigloss white to match the walls, after a few coats of oil-based primer. Going to leave the tops bare, most likely. Still thinking there's a better last minute color change for the shelves...

Marked up wall for two levels of shelving brackets to be mounted. The white stamped brackets from Lowes may not look the best, but each can legitimately hold over 100lbs. Had fun between two types of stud finders and a decapitated nail in a drill chuck to confirm stud location. Took a while, but...

It does have a warranty, but I am not too concerned about it past the first few weeks of operation. Perhaps far more important than a warranty, I have the power of my Amazon.com review, where HighSeer advertises these. They would spend a certain amount on me to avoid a scathing review, just...

I should have been more clear. I was thinking of the potential to get a separate vent fan to pull air outside the garage via 4" dia flex hose. So I could do something like spray brake cleaner wherever I'm working and not have it turn my garage into a brain cell killing chamber. Would only be...

Makes total sense. Makes me wish I could cut a hole in the ceiling to tie into the fireplace vent. Not realistic, but would help in such a situation where the heat has nowhere to go, so it just builds up instead. Exactly, that's the major flaw in a portable A/C, that the input air must come...

8%?! Amazed at such a difference from just 200 miles west, and only 100 more miles from sea. I always thought Dallas was the dry city (compared to Austin and especially Houston), but then I guess everything really is relative. That said, my girlfriend wants to be in Houston and having kids in...

Relative humidity inside home is ~60%. That would explain why my existing portable A/C setup would kick on the dehumidifier full time. It would draw more humid air from the house into the less humid garage. I'm not an avid gun collector, but the guys I do know who keep guns in cabinets and...

I don't have a single bit of untreated or un-coated rust-able steel in my home. No iron LSX coffee table or wine rack. Not even the knives are 10% as rust-able as the iron and steel in my garage. But its also air conditioned 24/7/300ish days a year. I will measure indoor humidity, am curious...

Ordered a 18,000 BTU, 13 Seer mini split http://www.highseer.com/13-seer-mini-split-ductless/ductless-mini-split-heat-pump-wyd018g.html It's also for sale on Amazon, but shipping costs more. Chose 18,000 instead of 13,000 for one main reason: I do NOT, yet again, want to buy twice. I can grow...
