    Re-purposing hospital IV poles

    I think a stool or two would be pretty cool. Maybe you can somehow incorporate a medical theme to the stools too.

    Ryobi or Ridgid Combo?

    It all depends on what other tools each company has that you'll find useful. If Ryobi has a greater quantity of tools that you'll find useful, then go that brand. If Rigid has a greater quantity of tools that you'll find useful, then go with them. Either brand will work just fine, it all boils...

    Welder mentor in NW Ohio / SE Michigan

    If you can't find someone local, then I'd think about setting up a video camera and record yourself welding, and then take close up pictures of the welds, and post them here so that people on here can critique your work and help you get better.

    Best tools you've found

    Saw a gas powered leaf blower fall off the back of a pickup because the driver wasn't smart enough to close the tailgate. Probably should've stopped and grabbed it, and then driven off to try and return it to the guy, but oh well.

    Airline Galley Bar Cart

    I definitely think a butcher block top would look good. Maybe cut a slot into the butcher block, and the aluminum underneath, so you can have a small knife always at the ready for when you want to cut open a fresh lime? Don't know if there's a fancy word for that kind of slot or not, but thought...

    Northern Tool won't warranty purchases. FYI

    I don't see any extenuating circumstances. Their rules say that if you need to return something you bought at the store, then you need to go to the store to return it. Don't like it? Don't shop there. Easy as that.

    Introduction & Question - My father passed away and left me this Snap On Tool Box.

    Re: Introduction & Question - My father passed away and left me this Snap On Tool Box Man I wish I could afford that. I'd ask around about borrowing a truck and trailer and come get the box once you had it emptied out. The way to get the biggest return would to break everything up into...

    ASTRO GIVEAWAY - 3 FREE Hand Rivet Nuts Tool Kits & New Flank-Bite Sets

    So this will seem really bland and boring for the pros, but I'm only a home mechanic with not enough tools, so the cool tool i saw recently was the OTC 6575 Hub Grappler Kit. Made it so easy to service the wheel bearing the guy was working on. Really showed me just how much of a massive pain in...

    Chicago Pneumatic 5 HP 60 Gallon Two Stage $888

    I'm so glad I don't have 230v and live in a rental so I can't install it, otherwise I would've dipped into my savings fund and bought one already. Really want to get into pneumatic tools and doing more of my own maintenance, and this would be perfect, but I just don't have the funds right now...

    How do I smooth out extremely rough concrete

    My first thought would be to pour concrete on top of it, and then smooth that concrete, rather than trying to smooth out that horrendous mess.

    ToolTopia or JB Tool Sales?

    I buy from JB Tool Sales as their customer service is spot on, their prices are good, they're willing to price match, and they'll warranty Grey Pneumatic sockets, even though they're not an authorized distributor. Never had an issue with them in the half-dozen or so transactions I've had with...

    Harbor freight lies!

    If they say they match any competitor, has anybody tried to get them to price match Alibaba?

    **** Avatars- yes or no

    As long as it's kept PG-13 I think we're all fine, per the rules. Personally, I don't care if it's ***, people can put whatever they want.

    Squared or dog-ear pickets in enclosed framed gate?

    It will look a lot nicer when it's squared off, since you have that frame there.

    Argon/CO2

    I'd find a different supplier. I can't imagine those bottles hold any more pressure than the 4500psi bottles I used in paintball, and I never had to put down a deposit on one, or have a lease with a company, or have my tank sent off to be filled, so I doubt insurance has anything to do with it...

    Thoughts on this tool box on CL

    I'd be tempted by it if it was $150 and he included the tools in the pictures and threw in some extra tools on top. I think you're doing right by passing on it.

    How to stop car in garage?

    I'd be taking a long hard look at a bollard like mentioned earlier, something 8-10" thick would be what I would use.

    Mobile Distributor Supply Deals Thread

    I went to my cart, put in my state and zip code in the part where it checks tax/shipping, and it gave me free shipping without a coupon code.
