About to refinish red oak flooring that is about 20 years old, also weaving in the living room, that is currently carpet. We are looking for a lighter color, grey/whatever is in style nowadays. We have heard that we can add some green dye to lighten it up. Have seen some Pinterest builds where...

I have search and gotten a lot of answers and learned a lot. However, nothing has pointed me in the direction I want to go. Like most people I use cordless for the majority of work I do (99% automotive). But when I need my 1/2 impact or air hammer I need air. And so far I haven’t seen a good...

I recently moved to Minneapolis and this will be my first winter here. I previously worked in a dealership further south so my box and tools were always in somewhat of a climate controlled environment. Is there anything I should know/prep for when the temps start dropping? It has been in the...

I visited a friend the other day and he showed me his scanner, the matco maxme. He said it is a real good scanner for the price. I have googled as much as I can and cannot find any information on this scanner. There are a few review videos but nothing from matco or launch. Anyone have info on...

I just ordered one of these and received it a few days ago. I had to run some screws into some studs in my garage to hang something. This thing is a dud. I was surprised. It struggles just to run a screw into studs. I have other Milwaukee cordless tools, including a 3/8 drive impact and it is...

I have been thinking about purchasing this hammer drill but after reading some reviews it seems that the chuck will not hold the bit. Have they fixed this problem? Does anyone have any experience with this drill? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an old buffet/hutch type piece of furniture that I am refinishing. It is approximately 45 years old and had some serious varnish on it. I sanded it down and filled some holes for new knobs and such. Any recommendations on a primer before I paint it? Also, should I seal it after painting...

I bought 3 of the SAMs clubs led 4 ft lights and they were working great. One of them started to flicker a few weeks ago right when I turned it on but after a while it was fine. I didn't have time to mess with it so I was fine with it. Now it will not come on at all. It seems as if some of the...

I am finishing up my garage storage and dry wall and am planning to paint in a few weeks. It is a 3 car attached garage. I am planning on using a sprayer, for the first time, and priming and then finishing with an egg shell white. The garage will mostly be used to park the cars but I will be...

Apparently I used my 3/8 fuel impact with too many chrome sockets and the hog ring fell off. I have since ordered a new one and am waiting for it to arrive. What is the easiest/best way to install it? I had to install one on my old Makita and I could never get it right. I would expand them, try...

I am installing a peep hole I got from Home Depot and have an issue. I drilled my hole and was test fitting the peep hole and when I took it out, the lens cover unscrewed from the barrel. I now have 2 pieces of plastic, both with a flat side and a concave side and then a small lens and a big...

I got a really cool chemistry sink from a school auction last year to use in my garage. Well, as with many spur of the moment buys, I am not sure I will be using it. It needs a new cabinet but the top and sink, although separated, are in good shape. I am now trying to get rid of it but it weighs...

We have a new construction home in southern Ohio with an unfinished basement. We are storing some stuff down there and a few pieces of furniture. Some of the furniture is particle/ikea "wood". We have a dehumidifier and if we set it to 75% humidity in about 4 fats we have almost 3 gallons of...

I am moving into a new construction home in a little over a week and we walked through last week. The garage was poured about 2 months ago and already has a crack running the length of it. There are expansion cuts in the floor but this crack is running from the driveway to the house wall. I can...
