As the title states I was wondering if I should caulk the rest of the way around the garage or not. I did one 8 foot stretch and then I started thinking about it. I am starting to finish the inside of my pole barn and there is the gap in the photos between the floor and the lower perlin. Believe...

Well the wife is asking for holiday gift ideas for me. I was thinking lately of getting a hot glue gun. I thought I would tell her to get me a hot glue gun. I don't know what brand to get as with a lot of other things there are a ton of brands to choose from. Do you have a hot glue gun? Are you...

Hello everyone, my pole barn is 5 years old now, when I first planned out the place and talked to the builder the building package included two windows, one on each side. I figured I would go with the windows for natural light as I did not know how long it would be until I had electricity put...

This toolbox thread is just for the Craftsman box owners. I'm starting to gain an interest in Craftsman boxes. I suppose because Cman boxes are what I started out with back in the early/mid 90's at work and at home. If you'd like to post your Cman box pics let's see them. They can be the old...

Hey folks, I'm in the market for a good but affordable (under $500) wood cutting bandsaw. My uncle, a master with a bandsaw told me to get a Powermatic saw. Well I looked them up and after I picked my jaw up off the floor I realized I couldn't afford one. I'd like to hear about and see what...

Hello everyone, I'm in the market for 6" belt/10" disc sander. Does anyone have any suggestions on brand and model? I'll be using it periodically, not every day. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I went into work this morning to pick up this old work cart. I was looking at it the other day and thought it would make a good welding cart/table. I asked my boss about it and said I would offer a few bucks for it if they were interested in selling it. He said "That old cart?" "Hell just take...

Hello everyone. We have a neighbor who is recently widowed and we went over today to let her chickens out while she was camping. I saw this compressor she had outside that was her husband's and now she is selling it. She had it in a garage sale she had a couple of weeks ago. It caught my...

Hello everyone. I'm thinking out loud on a forum so I'm ready for all opinions and thoughts. I'm a heavy equipment tech and we move from bay to bay, we techs don't have our own personal bays so we move our boxes a lot. For about two years now I've been working out of a Macsimizer MB1357 box and...

Hello everyone, I like to have a stash of different size flat washers on hand, the bulk ones I have bought off of ebay are ok but not very meaty. What brand of flat washers do you buy and where do you buy them? I like thicker washers, not real thick like spacers, just thicker than the usual...

Lol.....as the title says I think I love ratchets! I bought another one on Thursday, a chrome Cornwell 3/8 fine tooth ratchet. I counted the other day at work, I have 18 ratchets.......so far ;) Do any of you have a favorite tool that you may have too many of?

Hello everyone, I'm in the market for a cordless 1/2" impact. As much as I'd love the new brushless DeWalt 1/2" impact I can't justify the almost $500 for an electric impact for the home shop. I was looking around and saw that Harbor Freight has an 18V impact. Does anyone have this impact? If so...

Yes...I had to be a copy cat but only this time in blue. I have interest in the pearl blue handles that Snap On had. Supposedly they are bringing them out for a limited time, or so I've heard. I'll post pics when I can, I have a pearl blue 3/8" breaker bar and the pick set. I wish I had bought...

Hello everyone, as the title says, does anyone know if Snap On has brought back the blue pearl handle? I was looking on ebay and found a new handle for a 3/8" ratchet. It has the latest Snap On embossed/painted letters on it, not like the old thin line script. I hope it has come back, and this...

Hey guys and gals, I'm looking to purchase a heat gun for warming things up for removing decals, heat shrink tubing, etc. As with most tools I see a whole bunch of different ones out there. Does anyone have a heat gun that they like and has been reliable so far? Thank you for your input.

Hey everyone, am I the only one? This past week I have bought four flash/work lights. Gee whiz. All of them are LED lights, two are battery operated and two are rechargeable. Two are pocket type cob lights I got at the parts counter where I work and then I got a rechargeable one from Cornwell...

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-40-in-W-4-Drawer-All-Black-Tool-Chest-HTC404B/204700375 I bought two of these two start several months ago, I am trying to move out of a bottom box and just have top boxes. I bought two of these and figured I would build some wooden benches and set these...

I don't know if the tool guys are trained to bring in the basics or they just don't know what to bring in. :dunno:Our Mac, SO, and Cornwell guys always seem to bring tools in that I bought 20 years ago and try to get me to buy them. They bring in screwdrivers, ratchets, pliers, seal picks...

I was given the name of an electrician, I called him and I was impressed by the prompt return call and he came out and gave me a quote right then and there. I told him what I wanted and he explained how things would be done, I was also impressed by his ideas. This job is a full power and...
