    Terrible white staining (efflorescence?) on new slab

    I think the light spots are dried areas. I bet the entire surface will turn that color once it cures and dries out.

    Terrible white staining (efflorescence?) on new slab

    I don't think it's efflorescence on freshly poured concrete. Might be some Portland rising to the top. Give it a month to fully cure then see what you got.

    Anyone recognize the tool with the Red Handle

    Does the wheel have a bearing in it? If not, I wouldn't think it is made for high speed work. Also, the bar with the handle is obviously meant to be held in hand but the other bar with the sharp corners doesn't look to be held in hand. More likely it is held or locked in some sort of holder. I'm...

    M12 Fuel 2504 - Drilling in Solid Concrete?

    Agreed, it's the best way to burn up even a big corded drill and 5 gal buckets **** for mixing cement. Get one of those black plastic tubs, they're cheap.

    Need help finding a cap....

    I would go with the secure sturdy lid in your link. For $50 just order it and slap it on, the price seems worth it to me.

    Just curious "SAE or "American"

    I had to think for a moment about what I call it. What I realized is when talking about the actual fasteners I say "inch", it's just faster to say. When I'm talking about wrenches I say SAE.

    Just curious "SAE or "American"

    And if you are lucky enough to find your size you can bet it won't be the hardness grade you need.

    Most durable outdoor finish

    As they rot out, save the casters and rebuild them with plastic decking. Keep your eye out for decking jobs in progress and grab the scraps and off cuts.

    gasoline shed floor

    Gasoline fumes in a confined space is no joke. I remember seeing a boat explode from gas fumes below deck. Not much left but the hull in the water.

    PSA: Use All Available Safety Equipment

    Are you old enough to remember when every car came with a bumper jack? Now those things were scary, always a disaster waiting to happen but you would still see people working under them all the time. I remember my Dodge van rolling off the jack sideways one day while changing a tire. Landed on...

    Easy aluminum welding/brazing rods? Too good to be true?

    I have used them to braze two sections of aluminum auto AC tubing and to fill some corrosion holes and on a few other things. One problem is getting the base material hot enough to melt the rod but not too hot or the molten rod will run off like water. I discovered that using a stainless steel...

    Harbor Freight Coupon Thread

    If you use this 30% coupon, make it a separate purchase only for the 5 less than $10 items. Don't mix in any items that are covered by other coupons. Last time I used one of these, I had other items mixed in and it only took 30% off one item. The manager had never seen one of these coupons but...

    It says on the bottom "original coupon must be presented". Does that mean you can't use a printed copy?
