    Tools of Japan

    I’m in Akihabara right now and there are shops like these everywhere. It is my first time in Japan and it is an amazing place. I’m still in awe of everything going on everywhere all at the same time.

    The receipt says $160. I called Mac Tools up and ordered them over the phone and they were glad to take my order. They shipped them for free since the order value was over $100. Snap-On shipping prices are ludicrous.

    Icon 1/4” general service kit (socket and ratchet set)

    I have that kit as well and have the same problem with the ratchet. It is a great kit for the price. I’ll have to try the SuperLube in the ratchet and see if it helps.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Dodged a bullet... A few weeks ago I was out of town (of course) and my daughter called me and asked why her Volvo C70 sounded so terrible, "like a jet engine." My wife heard the noise and had told her to put the car in the garage and turn it off. This didn't sound good to me. My first...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I can feel your pain. Our house and garage flooded after Hurricane Harvey in 2017. ***** big time! Clean what you can and let the stuff dry out. I had a circular saw turn right back on after I took it apart and cleaned it. If you don’t have a flood insurance then don’t bother calling your home...

    We have that same dryer! I don’t buy anything but genuine Whirlpool parts for it. It just isn’t worth it to me.

    Help me find a 3/8 spinner handle

    On Thursday I called Mac up directly and ordered this set over the phone. I told them I was a DIYer and didn’t have access to a truck. It was easy and I didn’t have to catch a driver on his route. Also, I recently had to have a Mac tool replaced under warranty and I mailed it in with a note and...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I'm glad that I'm not the only person with this problem! It took all of this (and a ShopVac) to replace a heating element on the dryer.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    My wife had some surgery a couple of weeks back and has a surgical drain connected to her that collects excess fluid. It is difficult to shower with one hand, and yes, I volunteered to hold the drain bag for her to no avail :cool: . I had some 1" PVC available from a previous project and made...
