    Gun safe heater ideas?

    I had my gun safe in my bedroom until I moved to my current residence this past August. Put my gun safe in the basement, which is finished, but added a dehumidifier which keeps the humidity to around 30 - 35% at 65 degrees. My safe and its contents have never been happier. And if I calculate...

    Bill, Been following this post. At the church where I pastor, every fixture in the building is the old T12, 1 pin bulbs, and the original ballasts are fail 1 by 1.

    APEX (Armstrong) Tool Warranty - NOT HAPPY

    A little late perhaps, but, I bought USA Thorsen tools 40+ years ago. Before the internet, had to find dealer or mail sockets/tools back to manufacturer. Lifetime warranty stuff. Only had to use warranty once on a 1/2 inch 3/8 Drive socket. Prompt service, for “snail mail”. Then, 1/2 Drive...

    Are the handles on this box Snap-on?

    This box looks a lot like a StackOn box that I have. I’ll try to get pix tomorrow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tekton vs Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches?

    I’ve heard good things from both brands. I think Gearwrench can be had at NAPA now. Tekton I’ve only seen from Amazon. As another DIY guy, you would probably be satisfied with either one. I’ve always had CMan USA tools with a smattering of Snapon. Not trying to raise any dander, but I’ve had...

    When to downsize your tool box

    I just hit the 60 mark. I still have my first box but have now added a work bench and a roller cart. The bench and associated cabinets house the wood working tool while the cart has the air tools and impact sockets. The first box has top, middle, bottom and side boxes. I have 16 drawers with...

    Electricians tools

    This is what I've got. Used to use needle nosed pliers or a knife but the got these. These wire strippers are the best. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A using Tapatalk

    How many times have you re-arranged your shop?

    It seems like no matter how many times I get it cleaned up and atkres properly more stuff makes its way in and it's not necessarily my stuff. We live in a place where I can't put up a second building on the property. So I'm forced to keep a small footprint. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A...

    How many times have you re-arranged your shop?

    We just moved so everything is still a mess. In between work and everything else I don't get much time to work in the garage. I keep telling my sweetie I need to have a day where I'm not running so I can get some serious time in the garage but she says you've got this winter to do all that...

    Sorry for HF Rant

    I saw those the other day while there for some red shop towels. Was wondering if they were any good. I’ve still got Irwin vise grips; probably 7-8 of them in various sizes. You’ve just talked me into buying some. Let you know how it works out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Black & Decker Workmate

    I’ve got two! 1st one was a Christmas gift at least 35 years ago. 2nd one I picked up at a yard sale just last month for $5. Complete with the orange dogs and rubber feet. It looks to have never been used. I used the first one a lot. Comes in very handy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Paint color for Quincy compressor

    Ok. Here’s my .02 cents. 1. Are you restoring for a historical reason? 2. Or, is this a build that you will use and not showcase.? 3. Or, are restoring as a “cool” piece to show off? The reason I say this is because, technically, you could assemble it and make it work with no paint. However...
